Monitoring and optimising the building operation is now also possible in the cloud. SAUTER Vision Services is the solution for professionally automated building and plant management. At the same time, Vision Services provides access to proven and brand-new functions from SAUTER Vision Center 7.0.
SAUTER Vision Services provides a cost-efficient entry into the world of modern building management. Additional investments in hardware and software can be saved. Energy management and analytic functions enable increased efficiency, continuously optimised, and reliable operation of plants and buildings.
With SAUTER Vision Services, building operators access the proven functionalities of SAUTER Vision Center in the cloud. Comprehensive, powerful modules are available for energy monitoring, building management and energy management and analytics – with the advantage that they do not require a complex local IT infrastructure.
Solution with many advantages
A few examples of popular modules and applications with Vision Services:
- Energy monitoring with consumption overviews in the form of dashboards, charts and meter overviews
- Monthly reports, energy alarms, and data import and export functions
- Energy and plant optimisation with additional chart types such as SANKEY and carpet and scatter plots, as well as histogram displays
- Building and plant management via plant schematics and list displays, with automated control options via Scenario Manager, combining alarms into collective alarms, and the recording of any changes in audit trails
- Building analytics with automatic detection of operating pattern deviations, oscillations, deviation from setpoints, as well as immediate operator information in the form of KPIs in dashboards and alarm overviews
IoT devices as a prerequisite for secure cloud connection
SAUTER ecos-IoT (ecos504/505) with integrated MQTT client and broker ensure a certificate-encrypted connection to the SAUTER Cloud. In local plants, ecos room automation stations with BACnet, Modbus, KNX, Dali and M-Bus protocols act as gateways. Information from the SAUTER modulo 6 automation stations is also exchanged with the SAUTER Cloud via ecos-IoT. This ensures that almost all information from the local building automation and a wide range of sensor and meter data is available in SAUTER Vision Services via MQTT gateways.
