Delivering business continuity
in extraordinary times
Building owners, operators, and facility managers in critical facilities, such as data centers, hospitals, and airports, face a
daunting task — keeping operations running smoothly at maximum capacity, or at low occupancy rates. The challenge is
to continuously adapt to new obstacles, changing business priorities, reduced facility staff, and lower operating budgets.
With a digitized power and building management system, there are tools to increase remote service capabilities, help
control costs, and maintain operations when resources are low.
Ensuring resiliency during a crisis
The value of IoT and digital has never been greater. Together they enable condition-based monitoring platforms – like EcoStruxure™
Building Advisor and Power Advisor – to monitor and maintain power network operations and building HVAC systems while teams
are reduced or off-site. Teams can continue making data-driven decisions, using powerful diagnostics to anticipate potential
malfunctions in electrical and HVAC equipment.
