ZenConnect
ZenConnect is an IoT-first solution for enterprises, combining hardware and software to reduce energy consumption, ensure comfort compliance, and enable remote asset management. It automatically controls and manages the operation of key assets such as HVAC, refrigeration and lighting, while monitoring the performance of all key building parameters such as energy, temperatures, humidity and air quality. ZenConnect also automatically identifies anomalies in operations of HVAC, refrigeration, Diesel Generators, UPS and other critical systems in a commercial building.
Automation for small and mid-sized buildings
For geographically distributed small and mid-sized buildings, it is crucial to maintain streamlined operations across all the sites. Unlike a BMS in a large building, there is no lightweight automation system to control HVAC, monitor comfort and asset health across multiple such small and mid-sized buildings. It often results in high energy costs, operational inefficiency, low customer comfort, compliance issues, and equipment breakdowns.
Zenatix by Schneider Electric addresses this challenge with ZenConnect, a comprehensive IoT automation solution. Our IoT-first platform seamlessly connects all assets, including HVAC, lighting systems, and UPS, to a centralized platform and provides automated controls and advanced analytics using our proprietary AI/ML algorithms.
Through our web-based dashboards and mobile apps, you gain centralized visibility into the operations of your distributed assets and administer automated controls of HVAC, lighting and other assets. Additionally, our AI/ML algorithms automatically identify and log anomalies as tickets, initiating a digital ticketing workflow. This process ensures systematic and timely resolution of detected faults, ultimately enhancing customer comfort through intelligent monitoring and control.
HVAC control and comfort management for large buildings
Existing buildings such as hotels, offices and hospitals require automation for their energy management and digitization goals. Most of these buildings don’t have a functional BMS installed, and the manual operation of equipment often leads to operational inefficiency and higher energy consumption.
ZenConnect, our lightweight solution for HVAC Control and Comfort management, addresses both the automation and energy management needs of large buildings. It is modular and one can select required modules based on the type of HVAC or specific monitoring requirements. Exemplary modules include:
- High-side Automation
- AHU Automation
- VRV/Ductable Automation
- Energy and other critical parameters/assets monitoring
The solution delivers energy savings, ease of operations, increased comfort & reduced asset breakdowns – all with a quick ROI of 12-24 months.
