"CitectSCADA Facilities is a solution that provides facilities managers with the necessary tools to integrate and track systems performance, increase ROI and reduce operating costs".
Centralised monitoring allows facilities managers to improve energy efficiency, increase security, integrate reporting to IT systems and ensure round the clock reliability, even across wide area networks.
For example, CitectSCADA Facilities can help to significantly reduce operating and maintenance costs by tracking and reporting energy use, building-by-building or area-by-area.
In addition, it allows facilities managers to reduce energy consumption, track after hour use and generate customised reports on each building tenant.
CitectSCADA Facilities can also connect to video monitoring, card-based access and record keeping for additional security.
"By integrating all building systems into a single system, facilities managers can improve customer service, reduce operating and maintenance costs and benefit substantially from centralised monitoring of their assets".
"Because CitectSCADA is open software, the possibilities for integration are boundless," said Paul Hurst, managing director of Citect Ltd.
"As well as its look and feel, the new software includes a range of facilitates unique to building management requirements.
These include a scheduler, on the fly trends and post it notes.
CitectSCADA is fully compatible with building management systems from market leaders including Trend and Honeywell".
