Which lessons from the smart factory can genuinely help us create smarter, more resilient buildings?
Dave Breckell - Market Development Manager - Components, OMRON
Manufacturers have spent years learning how to keep ageing plant running using data from equipment they already own.
This session asks how much of that thinking transfers to buildings.
It looks at condition monitoring on motors, pumps and fans, circuit-level energy monitoring, utilities control panel monitoring, and using OMRON’s DX1 to bring data from mixed equipment and protocols into a single view adding visibility to existing plant without wholesale replacement. The focus is practical: reducing unplanned downtime, moving maintenance away from fixed schedules towards actual equipment condition and getting a clearer picture of where energy is being used and where problems are developing.
