Wirepas
Ensure continuous data flow in your Smart Building - for lighting control and beyond
Every room requires specific services, and for optimal performance and sustainability, both individual rooms and the entire building rely on data. Various solutions and systems are necessary to meet data demands, acting as vital organs within the building. Similar to the heart and circulatory system in the human body, Wirepas ensures seamless data flow between vital systems, sustaining the building’s operation.
Smart Building ecosystems
Wirepas Massive presents a broad technological foundation upon which solution providers can construct their offerings. This technology allows all solutions to utilise the same network without disrupting each other (or other networks on the same frequency band) and gather all data into a central system.
A system integrator, serving as the operational hub, integrates all solution components and establishes a backend with business intelligence. Meanwhile, a visualisation company ensures that users have a real-time digital replica of the building.
The network serves as the fundamental link connecting all essential lighting fixtures and sensors (e.g., air quality, temperature, and humidity), functioning akin to the circulatory system. It transmits sensor data through a gateway to backend systems and then to heating, air conditioning, and lighting control systems.
Positioning data is relayed to visualization platforms to ensure easy asset location for workers. Additionally, the same technology must emit beacons that any smart device can interpret, enabling wireless light switches and wayfinding. Ultimately, all vital components (the solutions and systems) receive the necessary data (oxygen) to operate efficiently.
Technology that improves lives
Responding promptly to changes in temperature, humidity, air quality, and light can conserve energy. This is particularly advantageous for facility managers and owners as it minimises labour and cuts costs. Energy efficiency not only benefits finances but also the environment.
Construction contractors can also reap the rewards of this technology during the building phase. They can track their tools and equipment and employ sensing capabilities (e.g., for hazardous gases) to safeguard their workers’ well-being.
In the future, all buildings have the potential to be smart.
Tieto Empathic Building has successfully integrated various operators and technologies to offer their office environment solution. Haltian devices are interconnected using Wirepas Massive for sensing purposes (e.g., meeting room occupancy), eliminating the need for meeting room reservations as available rooms are visible on a real-time map.
Looking ahead, we anticipate the emergence of smart shopping malls, where a single network technology serves as the backbone for building management, maintenance teams, retailers, and consumers alike. Cleaning carts and equipment, as well as roll cages transporting goods to stores, can be tracked.
Goods-in processes can be automated, and sensors can monitor air quality, temperature, and humidity to enable real-time system adjustments. Fire detection systems can trigger alerts on consumers’ phones, while smart washrooms can enhance cleanliness and customer satisfaction.
Smart factories are also embracing the challenge of boosting productivity by implementing asset tracking on the shop floor. Sensors in valves can detect escaping gases and alert if valves are not closed properly. Waste management processes can be enhanced through sensor technology. Moreover, the working environment can be optimised for increased production by utilising sensors to provide real-time data to heating and air conditioning systems.
