Building Management System (BMS) is a system based on the control and monitoring of electrical and mechanical equipment in a modern building, such as power supply, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), security, lighting, building access and fire protection.
A BMS system can integrate: HVAC, electricity and thermal mass flow meters, electrical panels, generators, water installations, lighting, elevator systems, security systems.
Modern SCADA systems allow real-time access to data / information from any location and facilitate decision-making based on this data in order to improve processes or maintain them within the default parameters. Without SCADA applications it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to gather information to make the best decisions.
