DBS Smart Buildings

In smart buildings, a seamless integration of comprehensive systems, often referred to as Building Management Systems (BMS) or Building Automation Systems (BAS), converges HVAC, Power over Ethernet (PoE) lighting, blind controls, alarms, and security features into a unified network infrastructure managed by information technology (IT). Foundational technologies like Power over Ethernet play a crucial role in achieving this harmonious integration, paving the way for central management of all building systems, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency.   

This integration signifies a transformative shift in the management and operation of buildings by converging Information Technology (IT) with Operational Technology (OT). Enabled by advanced technologies, it allows seamless communication and coordination between traditionally separate IT and OT systems. This convergence in smart buildings enables centralised control, real-time monitoring, and efficient management of diverse building systems. Beyond enhancing operational efficiency, this convergence unlocks new possibilities for innovation, data analytics, and predictive maintenance, contributing to the creation of more intelligent and responsive built environments.
