Australian Shopping Centre Utilizes Abound Predictive Insights to Optimize Equipment Operation and Extend Asset Life
Implementation of a modern, scalable analytics solution that connects with an existing building automation system.
The Challenge
An Automated Logic field office in Brisbane, Australia wanted a modern, scalable analytics solution that would connect to an existing Automated Logic WebCTRL® building automation system (BAS) installed at a shopping centre. The current, homegrown analytics solution gave them operational metrics and insights on the connected HVAC equipment, but it required ongoing investment to stay updated and was not scalable. They needed something more.
The Solution
The Automated Logic field office upgraded the homegrown analytics solution to Carrier Abound Predictive Insights, a modern, scalable platform.
Now, Abound Predictive Insights seamlessly collects and sends WebCTRL’s BAS data from the shopping centre’s HVAC equipment to the cloud where it is analyzed holistically. Actionable insights are then created and delivered via advisory reports to the Automated Logic field office, who uses the reports to provide proactive maintenance strategies to the facility manager.
The Results
Within two weeks, Abound Predictive Insights produced a report analyzing all the shopping centre’s HVAC equipment—identifying inefficiencies and making recommendations on needed adjustments, repairs, and maintenance. This will help them improve equipment uptime, energy efficiency, and occupant comfort, and can also help reduce their maintenance costs by up to 30%*.
