UBX Solves these problems and more…
UBX combines the most important capabilities from Facility Management Solutions (FMS), Computerized Maintenance Management Systems(CMMS), and Building Management Systems(BMS) with capabilities like:
There are many solutions that solve one or two of these challenges but when it comes to solving all of them, multiple independent systems are used together to meet the building’s complete monitoring, management, and Reporting requirements. This creates a mess of incompatible systems that can’t share data or work together. The combined systems also often introduce complexities in terms of IT and building automation network integration and require software programmers or professional services to operate them effectively.
In June of 2023, Jim Farley, the CEO of Ford Motor Company, highlighted the challenges Ford is facing competing with Tesla. One of the main issues his company is facing is very similar to the challenges that building managers face, he explained.
“We’ve farmed out the software modules that control the vehicles to our suppliers, because we could bid them against each other…the problem is the software is all written by 150 different companies and they don’t talk to each other…we can’t even understand it all.” (link)
Managing a building is different from operating an automobile and the solutions to the problem will be different, but at the core both face the challenge of needing a unified system to tie all of their operations together and require a solution with the ability to flexibly evolve.
Traditional building automation systems are often complex and difficult to use. They also require multiple systems to be cobbled together to meet the full set of a building manager’s needs. This can lead to inefficiencies and security risks. UBX is the ultimate turnkey unified smart building solution that addresses the shortcomings of traditional systems. It is the perfect way to improve the efficiency, sustainability, and optimize your building’s systems.
