Intelligent Equipment: Unparalleled Management and Analytics
Intelligent Equipment: The Cloud-Based HVAC Unit Command Center
Daikin is leading the industry in managing equipment with technology. Remote, cloud-based management of air handlers, and rooftop units are now available with Daikin’s Intelligent Equipment. Intelligent Equipment provides unparalleled visibility to your rooftop unit or air-cooled chiller performance, including:
- Direct connection to your unit and data analytics
- Accessible 24/7 to any internet-connected device
- Intuitive role-based dashboards
- Unlimited data trending to gauge unit performance at any point in time, from commissioning to the present
- Preventative maintenance alerts based on the unit’s actual run time
How Intelligent Equipment Works
Intelligent Equipment connects directly to your Daikin HVAC equipment and monitors all parameters of performance. The Intelligent Equipment system connects to the internet, and the authorized users (building owner, facility manager, service technician, etc.) are given access through an application. The Intel-McAfee based system stays secure and pushes your information to the cloud with protection against hackers. All data collected is broadcasted into the cloud and stored there with no data limit. Thus, authorized users can access this data at any time, from any compatible internet-connected device.
Independence to Control and Manage Your System
On average, 40% of energy costs are directly tied to HVAC management. The majority of control solutions and system automation options supply only narrow insight into your system’s performance, limiting the ability to control energy expenses. Intelligent Equipment from Daikin Applied provides previously unattainable visibility to the performance and diagnostics for your Daikin HVAC equipment. The Intelligent Equipment system offers direct access to over 150 data points on a Daikin rooftop unit, and more than 300 indices on air-cooled chillers, in real-time.
Building Owners, Managers and Service Techs Have the Power
Building owners and facility managers can now have unprecedented access to this user-friendly app designed with non-technical users in mind. Intelligent Equipment automatically registers the most critical information and makes it easy to view this information for multiple units at a glance. This platform is customizable to the needs of your application and will, therefore, help to reduce energy costs over the life of your equipment.
The Technician Dashboard provides convenience for service managers and technicians, aiding in the speedy diagnosis of challenges, and how best to address them. The dashboard also keeps service histories on file, to bring new technicians on site up to speed as fast as possible. Additionally, authorized users have access to make system changes quickly and efficiently, saving time and money.
Intelligent Equipment is One of a Kind
Daikin’s Intelligent Equipment works in conjunction with BAS (building automation system), but it’s not a facility-level answer; it’s an equipment-level answer. BAS users can still benefit from an Intelligent Equipment system because it provides insight into unit-specific performance and parameters. As a result, preventive maintenance, unit diagnostics, unlimited data, and energy usage are all accessible at your fingertips. Finally, Intelligent Equipment is available in new units and as a retrofit solution.
