by Leave a Comment

The JENEsys® Edge™ 514 IoT Controller is a fully programmable Niagara 4 Controller with 14 IOs built-in and expandable IOs available, delivering edge connectivity, control, data access and analytics for today's buildings.

Lynxspring, Inc. (http://www.lynxspring.com), a premier developer and provider of open, software and hardware platforms for smart buildings and device-to-enterprise integration and applications, today announced the availability of a new, fully programmable edge-to-enterprise controller, the JENEsys® Edge™ 514 Controller, enabling IP connectivity, integration, interoperability, data access and control at the edge.

Part of Lynxspring’s portfolio of JENEsys Edge products, the JENEsys Edge 514 Controller, with 14 I/Os, offers more flexibility with the full features of the Niagara Framework®, creating a superior edge device for the smart building and equipment ecosystem. The 514 Edge Controller can be easily tailored to specific applications, allowing easy application programming, selection and configuration. Built with fully programmable and licensed Niagara software, the 514 Edge Controller works with the Niagara programming tools, Workbench and Fox Protocol, and easily connects to a Niagara Supervisor, an Enterprise and the Cloud.

“We specifically designed the JENEsys Edge 514 for small- to mid-sized facility and multi-site environment system integration and interoperability, and for plant and equipment control such as, air handling units, roof top units, boilers, fan coil units, heat pumps and more, and machine-to-machine applications requiring smart, edge technology,” said Marc Petock, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at Lynxspring. “We can now offer our customers a comprehensive controller with cross-application control, lower installation costs, and integrates with most any application and system. The operational savings will be tremendous through the common operation of Niagara, as well as running the latest tools directly on the controller therefore reducing supporting multiple and disparate systems.”

The JENEsys Edge 514 Controller is part of a family of modular and open hardware, bridges and gateways built on the company’s Onyxx® hardware platform, specifically designed to support edge-to-enterprise and Cloud applications across multiple market segments. This powerful unit meets the building industry’s requirements to connect, manage and control equipment data closer to where the data actually is, whether it be within a single facility or across a multi-site environment or at the equipment level. The versatility, functionality and broad footprint of the JENEsys Edge 514 using the industry’s most widely deployed platform makes this a powerful, cost-effective and economical solution for system integrators, building operators and equipment manufacturers.

The JENEsys Edge 514 comes standard with 14 I/Os, expandable using Lynxspring’s JENEsys Edge XM modules. Standard licenses are available for 100 points and 5 devices or 300 points and 5 devices. More information about the JENEsys Edge 514 and all of Lynxspring’s technology, products and services is available at http://www.lynxspring.com.

Episode 320 ControlTalk NOW — The HVAC and Smart Building Controls VideoCast and Podcast is Hosted by Marc Petock! Eric’s gone Missing in Nashville

Marc Petock hosts Episode 320 ControlTalk NOW live from Nashville, TN at the 2019 Realcomm|IBcon Conference with very special guests:  Steven Anson, VP Marketing, Anixter; Kendall Anderson, Marketing and Public Relationship Manager, FSG; and Pook-Ping Yao, CEO, Optigo Networks. Listen in and watch, as these industry experts share their take-aways from this record setting event.

Celebrating 21 years of extraordinary success, Team Realcomm has done it again.  Through unparalleled networking, relentless initiative and innovation, and sheer professional horse power, Jim Young, Howard Berger, Lisa Woods, and Team Realcomm have generated THE  Number One Intelligent Buildings Conference in the world.

Conversation included how owners are profiling Smart Building Controls Master System Integrators, and how they are learning to  specify the MSI role before the project is bid to protect their Smart Buildings interests.  It is a must watch video for anyone wanting to be successful in today’s evolving building automation market.

Ken and I are in Nashville to cover RealComm|IBcon for our ControlTrends Community. Preparing for the Ultimate Smart Buildings Conference got me thinking. What is the one thing that building owners need to know to make sure they maximize their Smart Building Controls investment ? Open. The Building Automation Control System must be open.

ControlTrends Community — not to worry! Always willing to go the extra mile, Eric was found a short while after this recording, working diligently — gathering empirical data from various intelligent building bar stools located along both sides of Broadway Street.

Lynxspring Commended by Frost & Sullivan for Developing Building Automation Solutions that Seamlessly Integrate with Other System Architectures

by Leave a Comment

SANTA CLARA, California, March 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Based on its recent analysis of the global market for Internet of Things (IoT) in smart buildings, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Lynxspring with the 2019 Global Customer Value Leadership Award. The company’s edge-to-enterprise platform for smart buildings and IoT systems allows users to manage connected devices at the edge, in the network, as well as the cloud. It backs its solution up with solid end-to-end customer service to present its customers with best-in-class customer value.

“Lynxspring’s E2E platform provides exceptional service delivery and value enhancements through a well-synchronized suite of solutions to ensure timely integration with a smart building’s infrastructure,” said Konkana Khaund, Director of Consulting at Frost & Sullivan. “By helping users perform functions at the edge, along with the cloud, Lynxspring’s E2E platform enables users to connect and access data straight from the platform, as opposed to having to search devices, sensors, or pieces of equipment. This solution provides users immediate, actionable information to implement changes instantly.”

In an increasingly connected environment, Lynxspring understands the value of collaborating with multiple groups through multiple alliances to support connectivity in its products. Its partnership ecosystem includes original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), system integrators, as well as building owners and operators, which helps it extend the lifetime value of all the equipment and service offerings. Furthermore, cross leveraging data from OEMs’ systems creates richer visualization and analytics for customers.

Much of the technology available in the built environment depends on system integrators; Lynxspring created a channel of approximately 250 system integrator partners throughout North America and in a few select international countries to support the built environment effectively. These partners deploy the company’s technology in commercial office buildings, retail spaces, and universities. Lynxspring’s technology can support other sectors in the IoT space that need to connect and obtain data—including non-traditional customers that may not be part of the building space but need to resolve challenges related to connectivity, access to data, integration, or interoperability.

“Before deployment, the Lynxspring Professional Services (LPS) team collaborates with customers to assess their individual needs and determine the most efficient route for integration and optimization. Together, they develop a plan, including a functional guide specification that outlines the operational value and desired outcome of the project,” noted Khaund. “Lynxspring intends to apply the basic structure of E2E in other relevant IoT markets such as agriculture and equipment control while fortifying relationships with existing customers. This visionary strategy and robust platform will enhance the company’s value proposition and set it apart from its peers.”

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that demonstrates excellence in implementing strategies that proactively create value for its customers with a focus on improving the return on the investment that customers make in its services or products. The award recognizes the company’s unique focus on augmenting the value that its customers receive, beyond simply good customer service, leading to improved customer retention and customer base expansion.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

Thanks to the Team at Lynxspring we know:

Dear Lynxspring Technology and Business Partners

As previously communicated, Oracle announced the pending end-of-life of Java SE 8 (Standard Edition). As a result, as of January 2019, free public updates are no longer available.
