Remote Management System • Managed Objects • Management Tools • Status, diagnostics, upgrade, control and automation, profiling and behavior tracking, replenishment and commerce, location mapping and logistics • Data Acquisition System • Sensors, communication links and monitors • In-Building Communication • NFC, RFID, Bluetooth, Ethernet, WLAN, Zig. Bee, … • Wide Area Communication • Wireless vs. wired communication • Information Security • Proprietary vs. open solutions 7 2/20/2021 Thesis Seminar on Networking Technology / Olli-Pekka Varis
Technology Trends • TCP/IP-based Wide-Area Control Networks • Centralized monitoring, aggregate load profiling, demand management and performance reports are easy to use compared to old management structures • Web-Accessible Control Systems • The buildings can be monitored from nearly any location, including Web -enabled cell phones and PDAs • Enterprise Data Interfaces • Can be used to further leverage the value of gathered data from the buildings systems 8 2/20/2021 Thesis Seminar on Networking Technology / Olli-Pekka Varis

Environment of Buildings Businesses in Finland • Facility management is a growing business in Finland • Currently low outsourcing ratio is changing fast • Most important trends: safety and individuality • Increased division of customers • Cost driven (facility management, government purchasing) • Value driven (individuality for living environment) • Office buildings drive the technology development and the provision of smart services • Residential buildings are usually low tech, but… • Special buildings and facility management use smart services • Remote management is emphasized 10 2/20/2021 Thesis Seminar on Networking Technology / Olli-Pekka Varis
People Flow Management Framework Intelligent ICT-based solutions need a framework • People flow management is a clear entity for customers and endusers • Security and safety trends push system integration • Technology trends enable integration of separate solutions 11 2/20/2021 Thesis Seminar on Networking Technology / Olli-Pekka Varis
