In the case where a knowledgeable contractor is required, Controlco will refer a local CPAC to you who is trained and experienced in the control system you have in your building.

Most people have heard of integrators. Depending on the industry you are in, the word “Integrator” takes on a different meaning. For example, an IT integrator may integrate many complex business systems and create elaborate database infrastructures that pass data between processes at an extremely high rate. This sounds, and is, very complicated and technical. However, the IT integrator likely has no idea what the Building Automation System Integrator is doing with VAV controls, chiller plants, and laboratory controls. These integrators may or may not know what the Electrical Contractor is doing with the switch gear and generators, much less the lighting control in the offices.

Buildings are made up of many complex systems and the demand to integrate the building to make a “Smart Building” is growing daily. Controlco has the experience and personnel to help End Users, Architects, and Engineers bring all of this together in a cost effective way to build sustainable projects. These complex systems are also tricky to bring together under one platform enabling the End User to manage the systems from a single interface. Using the NiagaraAX FrameworkTM, Controlco creates an intuitive user experience allowing the end user to maximize efficiency and maintain a current knowledge base for the systems in their building.

Automation covers a broad spectrum of productions, markets, applications, and technologies. New products are being released every month that can help you streamline your production or lower your overall energy consumption. With all of the product releases and new manufacturers entering the market, it is easy to become confused and select the wrong product for your application. Controlco is educated in the latest technology and is able to assist you with product selection to best meet your application needs.

In addition to product selection, Controlco can also help you develop a long term automation strategy for your facility. In cooperation with CSI3, a Controlco company, Controlco can provide you with advanced software products and solutions to help you analyze your facility. Using products like Prophet (http://www.prophetsuite.com). it is easy for building managers and plant managers to interpret the information to make good decisions. Better decisions tend to lead to better facilities!

It is clear that automation is the future for all industries. The commercial building and industrial automation industries are being pushed daily to be “green.” Let us help you get there with innovative product and software solutions!

Controlco continues to expand its knowledge in product and applications to include IT integration, Access Control, Digital Video, Lighting Control, Irrigation Control, Solar Hot Water Control and Photovoltaic System Integration. These systems combine with the building or plant automation systems to create the heartbeat of the operation. Whether you are managing a commercial Class A building in Manhattan, an elementary school in Las Vegas, a University in Berkeley, or a waste water treatment plant in New Orleans, your operation will improve when you successfully integrate the control systems.

The evolution of integration continues and is quickly including integration of the control systems with the business and accounting systems. The focus on energy reduction has forced corporate officials to look hard at streamlining processes, reducing overhead, overhauling control strategies, and retrofitting inefficient equipment. Integrating electrical and mechanical systems is typically where energy managers stop. The next step is to explore areas where business and accounting systems can help energy managers make better, timelier, decisions to improve the overall energy efficiency of the building.

Products like Prophet allow us to integrate data from your IT systems, business systems, and energy management systems easily. We place all the data you need on one user friendly dashboard allowing you to make better decisions.
