Smart building management fit for Thailand 4.0

          Johnson Controls' launches Metasys 10.0 for unified, intuitive building management

          Johnson Controls, the global diversified technology and multi-industrial leader, today announced the release of Metasys 10.0, designed to deliver unified building management. This marks another milestone as Johnson Controls brings the power of its combined portfolio to the market, following a series of mergers and acquisitions in the buildings space -- including Tyco merger in 2016 and York acquisition in 2005. This latest Metasys release provides facility personnel with smarter building automation, faster responses to critical alarms and new integrations with fire detection, and security and lighting systems -- all with visibility from a single common interface.

          Another innovation is the Ethernet ring topology support. Metasys is the only building automation system in the market that offers this. Delivered as part of Johnson Controls strategic alliance with Cisco, it allows controllers to be configured in a ring network, avoiding risk of single point of failure, thus improving system reliability and resiliency. This is especially important in mission-critical facilities like hospitals and data centers.

          "Thailand 4.0 is a vision that we can contribute to as a systems integrator for smart buildings and cities. Johnson Controls has a lot of experience in systems integration in Southeast Asia, including mixed-use malls and hospitals. Hence we deeply appreciate how important it is to provide access to critical system data from a single, intuitively-designed interface. Metasys has always delivered a strong integrations platform, but now it is even easier for customers to integrate both HVAC and non-HVAC systems into Metasys 10.0. One of the earliest sites seeing great success is Georgia-Pacific in Atlanta," said Philippe Agullo, sales director, Building Technologies & Solutions, Johnson Controls Southeast Asia.

          Improvements with the release of Metasys 10.0 include:

          - New Metasys Application Programming Interface (API) -- API enables data to be securely extracted from Metasys 10.0 and integrated with third-party data visualization tools for robust data analysis and reporting.

          - Simpler integration with SIMPLEX(R) Fire System -- The SIMPLEX Fire System is enhanced to include a BACnet(R) /IP integration with the Metasys system to automate building conditions when triggered by a fire event.

          - New integrations with C-CURE 9000 Access Control and victor Video Management Systems -- New integration drivers are added to the Metasys system to provide data from C-CURE 9000 Access Control and victor Video Management Systems from Tyco Security Products.

          - Simpler integrations with lighting systems from leading lighting providers -- LED lighting and sensor networks from preferred partners are tightly integrated with the Metasys system to coordinate lighting behaviors with HVAC operation.
