Additional modernization goals
ROL Ergo had more goals in mind when
it asked Siemens to modernize its fire,
intrusion, access control, and comfort
systems. First, a new fire system would
reduce its insurance costs. Second,
upgraded intrusion and access control
systems would better protect expensive
production equipment and support the
security staff more efficiently Finally, a
more responsive comfort system would
provide added transparency. “Based on
this transparency I would like to reduce
the power consumption peaks – and
with that our bill,” Pettersson said.
Integrated building management
ROL Ergo then looked to Siemens for a
multidisciplinary building management
system that would expand its overall
system capabilities. Pettersson wanted
“a management system where I can
easily see what is not running normally.”
Complete oversight of power and water
consumption was also needed so that
managers can decide how to reduce it.
ROL Ergo also wanted a system that
could help prove its environmentally
friendly production methods to its
customers who ask suppliers to be as
sustainable as they are.
Ease of use was a priority, according to
Lindholm, who “wanted a system which
I can manage from home to reduce my
travel time to the facility during the
weekend.” So it was important that the
technology can be viewed on standard
mobile equipment. He also wanted to
increase efficiency by standardizing
integration and interaction in case of
an event. “I would like to integrate
different alarm systems into one system
so it can be operated in a standardized
way,” Lindholm added. And the ability to
manage all the systems from one central
dashboard was important to everyone.
The answer was Desigo CC, the building
management platform from Siemens.
“I wanted to have one system that can
operate all the disciplines in building
technologies together, and only Siemens
can provide such a solution at this point
in time,” Pettersson said.
Desigo CC provides greater visibility into
the performance of all building systems,
more management platform functionality
and standardized user interfaces. It helps
reduce facility and security operating
costs while increasing comfort. To do so,
it can link access control information
with building automation actions such
as adjusting temperature, increasing
airflow and turning lights on or off
based on room occupancy. Desigo CC
improves safety by connecting fire
control and emergency exit support.
It also enhances security by providing
greater situational awareness and
information at the right time at the
right place for intervention.
“With the new security application, I get
a message from the alarm company. In
parallel, I get a text message from Desigo
CC, which lets me directly decide what
has to be done. With the new fire safety
system, the investigation time is much
faster because I know exactly where to
go and inspect. So I am more efficient
at every step,” Lindholm said.
