OpenBlue Enterprise Management (OBEM) system is a comprehensive cloud-based application platform for optimizing building performance using advanced analytics and AI. OBEM is a comprehensive suite of apps to monitor and improve energy efficiency, tenant satisfaction, asset performance, maintenance operations, space performance, and ultimately the comfort and health of occupants. OBEM delivers the next generation of smart building capabilities for portfolios ranging from commercial offices, healthcare, higher education, university campus and colleges, transportation, retail, and K-12 school systems.
OBEM proactively analyzes building energy, equipment assets, space, and occupant data to identify issues, faults, and opportunities for improved performance, operational savings, and better tenant experience. OBEM uses parent-child meter and equipment space relationships to provides enterprise-building performance monitoring, benchmarking, improvement and comparison tracking, and life-cycle management decisions.
OBEM provides analytics designed to identify energy and equipment-related problems. These analytics run in the background and identify energy and equipment anomalies. Actionable information is provided to the customer through the Fault Detection and Diagnostic (FDD) feature.
OBEM works with Building Automation Systems (BAS) that support BACnet IP and SQL communications in order to provide a holistic view with respect to equipment operation starting at the portfolio level and extending down to sub-spaces in a building. It also can tie directly to a Johnson Controls system through Application Program Interfaces (APIs) and SQL and to its Application Data Server (ADX server and ADS). Coupled with the OpenBlue Bridge, it has the flexibility to integrate directly with meters using industry standard protocols and includes an edge gateway that supports secure integration with on-premises BAS and OBEM cloud. OBEM is easy to configure using simple web interfaces and automated configuration tools.
Unlike most competitive solutions, OBEM goes beyond energy and equipment management to further maximize enterprise value. OBEM provides advanced answers for a customer’s enterprise, allowing users to proactively manage their enterprise from a single pane of glass. OBEM’s advanced enterprise platform collects, analyzes, and visualizes an enterprise’s buildings data, so that you can convert insights into action.
