FUNCTIONS:-
ADVANTAGES
ENERGY SAVINGS
it is estimated that a BAS can save
a business between 5% and 30% on utility costs by
managing HVAC and lighting systems. HVAC and
lighting are the two largest users of energy in
modern buildings and are usually the first systems
to be automated. Wireless BAS systems can
monitor every zone of the building and make instant
adjustments to maintain comfort while lowering
energy usage. Lighting can be reduced remotely in
areas of the building that are not occupied which
also cuts energy costs.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
By reducing the energy usage of a building, a BAS
also reduces the amount of greenhouse gases
released into the atmosphere. A BAS can be
integrated into plumbing systems to monitor and
reduce water usage. By eliminating waste, these
systems help buildings use resources more
efficiently and reduce their impact on the
environment. The systems also allow third parties,
like government agencies, to collect data and
validate the amount of energy consumed by the
building.
DISADVANTAGES
TECHNOLOGY LIMITS
Current technology is unable to automate
all desired tasks. Some tasks cannot be
easily automated, such as the production
or assembly of products with inconsistent
component sizes or in tasks where
manual dexterity is required. There are
some things that are best left to human
assembly and manipulation.
ECONOMIC LIMITS
Certain tasks would cost more to
automate than to perform manually.
Automation is typically best suited to
processes that are repeatable, consistent
and high volume.
IMPROVED SECURITY
The need for security depends on the
nature of the business conducted in the
building. A BAS can be programmed to lock
doors and turn off lights at a designated
time. Should an employee wish to access
the building after that time, a key card will
allow access and the system will turn on the
lights in the area where the employee is
working, but nowhere else. The system can
also be programmed to control exterior
lights in parking lots and security cameras.
Should a security breach occur, the system
will notify appropriate personnel.
UNPREDICTABLE DEVELOPMENT
COSTS.
The research and development cost of
automating a process is difficult to predict
accurately beforehand. Since this cost can
have a large impact on profitability, it is
possible to finish automating a process only
to discover that there is no economic
advantage in doing so. With the advent and
continued growth of different types of
production lines, however, more accurate
estimates based on previous projects can be
made.
INITIAL COSTS ARE RELATIVELY HIGH
The automation of a new product or the
construction of a new plant requires a huge
initial investment compared to the unit cost of
the product. Even machinery for which the
development cost has already been
recovered is expensive in terms of hardware
and labor. The cost can be prohibitive for
custom production lines where product
handling and tooling must be developed.

Benefits
The intelligent or
smart buildings can
provide many
benefits to an
organization. By
integrating a number
of building
systems it helps an
organization get the
most efficient use
out of all of their
building systems.

SYSTEM
Remote monitoring and management
(RMM) is a collection of information
technology tools that are loaded to client
workstations and servers. These tools
gather information regarding the
applications and hardware operating in
the clients location as well as supply
activity reports to the IT service provider,
allowing them to resolve any issues.
RMM usually provides a set of IT
management tools like trouble ticket
tracking, remote desktop monitoring,
support and user information through a
complete interface.
