Honeywell Outcome Based Service for Mechanical Systems is the latest addition to Honeywell’s connected services portfolio of technologies that draws on more than 100 years of global domain knowledge and experience, in combination with today’s building connectivity, to help promote improved facility performance. Building on the service’s core HVAC controls monitoring, Outcome Based Service for Mechanical Systems uses data analytics and sensor-based Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity to monitor the health and performance of mechanical equipment, helping uncover issues and faults that can impact system performance and efficiency. “A building is much like a living, breathing organism, from its basic framework to the central nervous system of controls and the very heart of it all – the mechanical hardware that keeps everything operating,” said Aseem Joshi, Country General Manager, Honeywell Building Solutions, India, “Keeping watch and maintaining these systems is possible with the right connectivity and knowledge, which we’ve made possible with Honeywell Outcome Based Service. It now extends to mechanical systems, providing even more data and insights to promote improved performance and maintenance of building health.” Outcome Based Service for Mechanical Systems monitors mechanical equipment performance in line with key performance indicators (KPIs) closely tied to building comfort and energy efficiency, as well as equipment maintenance. The service uses advanced algorithms that monitor and analyze HVAC controllers, mechanical equipment and their key components, from boilers and chillers to other hardware that make up the core equipment of a building, in near real time, helping uncover many faults and anomalies faster than traditional, routine maintenance. The new service module also taps sensor data to monitor the asset health of individual mechanical equipment, comparing actual equipment performance with optimal operational performance values to identify deviations. This helps alert personnel to many issues sooner than traditional maintenance so organizations may have the opportunity to make changes or fixes before they lead to costlier and more disruptive problems. The deviations also help inform condition-based dynamic tasking as to when and how to address mechanical system maintenance needs such as when to replace air filters on HVAC equipment. The asset health KPIs can also provide deeper insights into the duration or useful life of mechanical equipment. Because not all equipment degrades at the same rate, organizations can make better-informed financial and maintenance decisions about repairing or replacing equipment.   Honeywell Outcome Based Service for Mechanical Systems applies IoT connectivity and Honeywell service engineer knowledge to mechanical systems. Module is designed to promote better CAPEX and OPEX decisions and maintenance of optimal facility operations and comfort.      

Delta, a leading provider of video wall solutions, has provided its brightest Laser Video wall solution to the operations control centre of Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation. Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC) is a project of Govt. of U.P., which is implemented to strengthen the transport infrastructure of the city with a holistic multi-modal transport system. Delta, with its expertise in display solutions, installed its latest and brightest solution in the market for this project. Lucknow Metro Rail Corporation (LMRC) is the fastest built high speed rapid transit system project in India. Lucknow Metro is a Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) constructed to provide the city of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh with an environment-friendly atmosphere, having two routes, from North to South and East to West. The North-South corridor starts at Amausiand ends at Munshi Pulia, with a total length of 22.878 kilometres. The East-West corridor starts at Charbagh Railway Station and ends at Vasant Kunj with a total length of 11 kilometres. Both lines intersect at Charbagh. The new Lucknow Metro Operations Control Centre (OCC) features India’s 1st laser video wall composed of 5×2 70’’ video wall cubes. With unmatched brightness, Delta’s laser video walls have full HD (1920×1080) resolution, excellent standards in brightness uniformity (≥ 98%), wide viewing angle and true redundancy to match the Lucknow Metro requirement. In addition, a controller is set up in the room, capable of handling multiple inputs and Cube control software which provides precise information on the status of the video wall at any point of time. “The operations control centre (OCC) is responsible for a smooth command and control of all stations and trains. The video wall will display dynamic status of each train, route and signal on a real-time basis and the status of the power supply on each section of the line. Faults in the supply, if any, will be noticed immediately through the Video wall and can be acted upon by the LMRC operators,” commented an LMRC official. Delta, with a strong global reference base in the railway industry, recommended its latest and most innovative display solution for monitoring operations at the OCC of Lucknow Metro. The operations of the fastest built metro project will be monitored round the clock on Delta’s video walls in support of train services and maintenance activities. “Every day, the operators of the operations control centre of Lucknow Metro will ensure the safety of millions of passengers by constantly monitoring train speed, signals, station activities and power supply.

Named after a revolutionary freedom fighter, Krantiguru Shyamji Krishna Verma Kachchh University (KSKVU) is a state university in Gujarat, India that promotes higher education in regional and rural areas of the country. Colleges in the Kutch district were regulated under the Gujarat University till 2003. Following the development drive post 2001 Gujarat earthquake, the Government of Gujarat decided to provide a separate university in the region and thus KSKVU came into being in 2004 with 10 colleges. It started its administrative and academic activity at the new developing campus in 2007. Today, the university has 44 colleges with more than 20,000 students and nearly 250 teachers working in the faculties of Arts, Commerce, Science, Education, Law, Technology including the Engineering and Pharmacy. Background In pursuit of providing an effective security solution to the University, Hikvision’s partner Yashvi Infotech, the leading Ahmedabad based systems integrator, surveyed the site and worked with the key representatives and head of security for Kachchh University to deliver an effective plan that would provide a customized solution to the security and management needs. “Implementing IP Surveillance Project for KSKVU was a great learning experience. We have built a strong relationship with Hikvision over past 4 years and value their experience and expertise to provision security surveillance systems. They work very well with vendor partners to deliver solutions that suit the requirements. They are efficient and their high-quality workmanship and service are appreciated. We find their objective advice invaluable, while designing security solutions and selecting equipment to install,” said Brijesh Thakkar, Director, Yashvi Infotech. Challenge The Kachchh University required a foolproof IP based surveillance solution for the university campus. In the past the University had only 8 surveillance cameras in the administrative building premises which was not able to deliver positive results. They required a centralized and local building monitoring solution. The project brief included security control room as well as Vice-Chancellor (VC) cabin for mission critical surveillance solution. The Kachchh University campus has 7 different buildings spread over 5 acres. Besides, the management was also looking for a customized solution, which can have the facility to share their live classroom lecture to another classroom in case of absence of a professor or something else, and also to record lectures and upload them on their server for future reference. Solution The process of designing a solution package for Kachchh University project was quite comprehensive. The solution comprised the best 2 line and 4 line series cameras. Approximately 400 IP cameras were required by this project. These cameras were deployed in areas including all classrooms with audio and video, corridors, outside of buildings, library, computer rooms, staff rooms, main gate with ANPR solution, play area with PTZ, and parking and hostel; with 24×7 monitoring in local building, VC’s cabin as well as security control room. Hikvision recording and broadcasting solution has been the best fit for the KU classrooms which is able to fulfil their 100% requirement. Yashvi Infotech also executed a demo of proof of concept (POC) successfully for the Kachchh University management. The project was executed with 16 classrooms as a smart classroom with a live lecture with audio and video broadcasting, and recording and uploading to their FTP server. Extremely satisfied with the swift execution of the project, Kachchh University is now planning to have more classrooms equipped with Hikvision’s recording and broadcasting systems in the future. Result The Kachchh University Management, Faculty and Students are very happy with Hikvision Solutions that have given them a sense of security in the campus. The solution now enabled them to monitor all the critical areas of the campus. “We switched over to IP surveillance from our analog closed circuit camera system six months ago. We had set up a complete smart class solution in our university. We are very happy with the quality of products and services and they are very useful to us,” said Dr. C. B. Jadeja, Vice-Chancellor, KSKVU.
