Solution
• Semantic tagging using the Project Haystack
standard enables Desigo Optic to decipher the
data that flows into the building automation
system (BAS) from each system and piece of
equipment
• Standardized, open-source conventions apply
tags to raw data, which the BAS equipment and
points generate, to empower Desigo Optic to
understand each data point’s role in the system
and bring context to the analysis and
interpretation
• A point library database automatically applies
tags to existing point names, making it easier
to recognize and leverage this data
Benefits
• Streamlined workflows – Semantic tagging is
an automated, rather than manual process, that
can streamline workflows and save hours in
aggregating and managing data
• Speed and ease of implementation –
Native Haystack tagging and data modeling
enable significantly faster implementation,
engineering, and commissioning of Desigo
Optic; preconfigured logs and templates offer
consistency and streamlined integration
• Enhanced data management – By properly
managing data through Project Haystack,
Desigo Optic can easily discover and
understand building data
• Improved building performance outcomes –
Once tagged, Desigo Optic can apply real-time
data analytics for better, faster decision making
to improve building operation for optimum
health, safety, and comfort
• Strategic maintenance approach – Data
visibility enables a more proactive, data-driven
approach to BAS maintenance of building assets
and equipment; and, with access to more data,
building operators can reduce troubleshooting
and maintenance time

Why semantic tagging?
Semantic tagging helps
normalize your data with
standardized tags that tell you
what the data represents. Thus,
Haystack enables your data
to be more easily recognized
– which supports enhanced
troubleshooting, analytics, and
decision making.
