Building Heating Automation & Dispatching
Predictive heating automation for a 5000 m² building with 372 infrared panels — Beckhoff PLCs, motion-aware predictions, real-time dispatching.
A building automation system controlling 372 infrared heating panels across a 5000 m² site. Replaced a passive SCADA integration with an active control service: ingests data from temperature sensors, relay cabinets and outdoor weather, factors in historical heating-and-cooling inertia per zone, and drives per-room heating decisions. Later integrated with the building's motion sensors (originally part of the security system) to add predictive control — do not heat zones with no people at night, prioritize heating where occupants actually are or will be. Includes a real-time dispatching dashboard for facility operations: per-panel status, per-zone mode, live energy consumption. Beckhoff PLC integration; in production since January 2026.
