In a smart building, the building management system essentially represents the brain, which acts as a hub where all essential information comes together for the coordinated control of all components.
Sensors collect relevant data that is used to initiate appropriate actions – such as the automatic closure of a fire door after the building has detected fire or smoke and the door release system has been triggered automatically. To allow all of the desired functions to be networked appropriate interfaces to the building management system are required.
In addition to the manufacturer-specific closed system solutions available on the market, open platforms are also available for increased flexibility to support functions afforded by a variety of different manufacturers. In fact, Novoferm multifunctional doors and gates offer a wide range of easy-to-use accessories that facilitate straightforward integration into open systems such as these.
