Azbil Corporation announced that it will develop new digital solutions for use with intelligent building management systems (IBMS), with support from the Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB).
In recent years, as modern cities are being transformed into smart cities, solutions are being developed in siloes—in other words, in isolation—which hinders both cross-sector information-sharing and the overall benefit such solutions can offer society. Against this backdrop, Azbil has started a technological development project for developing new IBMS digital solutions that combine AI and big data.
The new digital solutions aim to share and visualize information comprehensively, contribute to a sustainable society, and improve people’s quality of life. Specifically, they aim to improve the safety of buildings and occupants, increase convenience and energy efficiency, and reduce operational costs and buildings’ impact on the environment. This will be accomplished through an infrastructure that enables the status of the building and occupants to be checked and managed remotely.
