The Daikin-Intel disruption bell tolled rather loudly and clearly at the June 2014 Realcom/IBcon show in Las Vegas. Daikin, one of the world’s largest and most progressive equipment manufacturers, had already rolled out their Rebel Rooftop line, which put them in the pole position (kinda), because merging equipment and controls by utilizing the potency of IoT and new disruptive technology is great and does offer additional value to Daikin’s customers.
Daikin Applied Executive VP, Kevin Facinelli’s video says it all! Yet, for the savvy controls contractor or systems integrator, this poses a challenge. Daikin’s equipment brings intercommunication between equipment, building integration, and the benefits of cloud analytics — via Intel’s Intelligent Gateway — that really seems to do it all, and securely. But! The data (and integration business) doesn’t go through the building BMS network. Hmm, comments, please.
Additional Info: The Intelligent Equipment solution provides building owners the ability to have 24/7 real-time access to the building information and manage operations in a way that was previously unattainable. Daikin Applied products can automatically inform a support organization before they break down so customer service can move from a reactive to a preventative service model.
The Intelligent Equipment solution allows building owners, managers and technicians to have access to the same building information, on the same platform. This capability provides the opportunity for the key members in building management to coordinate their efforts at a higher level.
