<\/span><\/div>Company cooperation drives digitalization of building automation with joint solution that significantly simplifies both the commissioning and operation of a property.<\/strong><\/p>\n As a result of their partnership, MBS GmbH and logiccloud AG are presenting a joint solution that considerably simplifies both the commissioning and operation of a property. By integrating the tried-and-tested gateways from the Krefeld-based building automation specialist into the cloud solution from the award-winning Buchen-based start-up, sensor data from the field level can be collected using standard bus protocols such as BACnet, LON, DALI, Modbus etc. and processed using the MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport) network protocol. “We are delighted to have gained a strategic hardware partner in MBS as an experienced expert in the popular BACnet standard,” says Bernhard B\u00f6hrer, CEO of logiccloud AG. “By combining two mature technologies, we have created a convincing solution that generates considerable customer benefits,” adds Nils-Gunnar Fritz, Managing Director of MBS GmbH.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> The innovative solution envisages MBS gateways being used as edge devices to read and administer field sensors. Two variants are possible, namely either their control from logiccloud 365 – as a software-as-a-service solution in the cloud – or on premise, i.e. as an installation on site with the operator of a property. The key point here is that the entire automation process, from development to administration and control, can be parameterized in the cloud.<\/p>\n “The first benefit for users is that they don’t have to decide whether they want to handle higher-level control functions in the cloud or on site,” says B\u00f6hrer. For example, they can prepare the commissioning of a new building in the cloud first and make this decision later<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Control common bus protocols from the cloud<\/h2><\/div>
