Monitoring

Monitoring refers to the continuous collection, evaluation, and supervision of process and system data within a building. Monitoring enables precise control and optimization of functions such as energy consumption, climate control, and space utilization. Through the integration of IoT technologies, monitoring becomes more efficient and supports data-driven decisions that conserve resources and optimize building operations.

Monitoring is based on connected IoT sensors that measure data such as temperature, CO₂ concentration, or energy consumption and wirelessly transmit it to central control systems or cloud-based platforms. Technologies like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and mesh networks ensure reliable data transmission, even in complex building structures. The collected and analyzed data is often visualized to transparently display the condition of technical systems and facilitate real-time adjustments.

Monitoring is used across various building types. In office buildings, it allows for the monitoring of room temperature and light intensity to optimize energy consumption and enhance employee comfort. In residential buildings, monitoring supports the control of air conditioning systems and ensures good air quality, improving residents’ well-being while saving energy. Industrial facilities benefit from monitoring systems that track the condition of machinery and enable predictive maintenance through early fault detection.

Cloud-based platforms expand the capabilities of monitoring systems by providing long-term analyses and optimizations. Real-time monitoring improves operational safety by detecting and resolving issues or performance drops early. Features such as Over-the-Air (OTA) updates ensure that control systems and sensors stay regularly updated and technologically advanced, continuously improving the efficiency of monitoring systems.

Monitoring provides a precise and transparent foundation for managing connected systems. Beyond optimizing technical processes, it helps reduce operating costs, utilize resources more efficiently, and implement sustainable concepts.
