Efficient building management with zenon at Montblanc (Germany)
Simple management of the technical systems in a building and efficient monitoring of all the equipment and systems is the dream of every facility manager. zenon turns this dream into reality. One site to benefit from the zenon system is the Montblanc site in Hamburg, with its workshops and administration building.
As an open, manufacturer-independent system, zenon is ideally suited for use in a building management system. The visualisation and monitoring of operating states and the optimisation of operating modes in complex systems enables a building to be managed efficiently. zenon communicates with the automation level via standard interfaces like OPC (OLE for Process Control), LON (Local Operating Network) and BACNet (Building Automation and Control Networks). Every event, such as the failure of a unit, the violation of a limit value or any type of error message is displayed and managed in the system. Loading patterns (power consumption over a period of time) and temperature graphs are stored in zenon‘s long-term archive. The facility manager can retrieve this information using the zenon “Extended Trend” module. The information is also available in the form of reports for the purpose of precision analysis. zenon thereby creates a facility for monitoring complex technical systems and control-engineering processes, but most importantly for operating these systems and processes in the most efficient way possible.
This is also the task that falls to Claus-Dieter Brandt and his colleagues who are responsible for operational systems at Montblanc, the traditional company based in Hamburg. The team must respond quickly to fault messages and either restore the functionality of the device or the system or start repair work – this applies to the production facilities as well as administration.
