SMART Building Management System

The inherent capabilities in the SMART design bring the power of a real time data management system into the areas of security, asset management, inventory management, project management and integrated systems within a building or series of buildings. 

SMART is designed to be at the heart of an enterprise system and to enable a flow of hardware, software and knowledge from design, through development, integration and operation.   SMART is an open system which frees the architect and developer from the need to be trapped into a propriety system or systems when seeking to integrate diverse systems within a development project.   SMART is designed to interface to different protocols and is therefore able to act as an interface to different systems from different manufacturers to bring them all together into a central intelligent system.

SMART is light enough to sit at board level directly on sensors and controls and it is easy to add plug and play modules which add interconnectivity and functionality to the core product.  SMART frees the designer from the need to have a server-based system and can easily be incorporated into a building project.  

SMART supports all stages of a project, from design, through development to building occupation.   During Development SMART can reduce risk, reduce losses and enhance the management process by integrating real time inventory management and asset control with business process such as Excel and Project software to give a real-time update on progress and to assist supply chain management ensuring that stock is not kept waiting on site to be used.  Areas incorporated could include

	Purchasing
	ØStock balancing
	ØDistribution
	ØHandling of returned items
	ØHandling of variations
	ØSpotting system inefficiencies
	Minimising pilferage and theft

Access to sensitive information can be controlled by authentication using the built-in software encryption to ensure that information is only accessed by those who have the need to know.  Once a building is completed, SMART can provide a seamless interface to the different systems being employed and adds value by supporting the occupant with integrated systems for energy management, inventory tracking, security etc..  These client support systems can include:

	Security and Safety Alarm systems (Including information from web cameras Access Control Asset, inventory and staff tracking All systems linked to building controls and safety systems to ensure integrated response to incidents
	Environmental control of the building Power, air conditioning Lighting (internal and external) Habitat status and control
	Information distribution Telephony and internet access billing (pre-paid and accounts) Digital signage - tenant information and public awareness Integrated and preventative maintenance systems
