The system must be able to connect to a cloud-based BMS platform, that allows cloud-based SaaS applications to access data of the on-premises system and execute the following tasks:

  • View the high-level status of a single or multiple sites
  • View the current value of datapoints
  • Command/override on-site datapoints
  • Visualize events/alarms coming from one or multiple sites in a unified and consolidated view
  • Visualize aggregated information at different levels based on datapoints values or event information
  • Visualize energy consumption information based on meter data
  • Access the BMS user interface with single sign-on and simplified security deployments
  • Onboard BMS sites as an application to get an understanding of what is installed on-premises

The systems cloud connectivity must include the following features:

  • Site onboarding process and configuration
    The system must provide a simple engineering workflow to onboard the server hosting the system as a device and register the application represented by the systems project.
  • Selection of data to expose to the cloud-based SaaS application
    As not all data of the system are relevant for a cloud overview, the system must provide a mechanism to do a selection of data to be uploaded and gives visibility from the cloud-based SaaS application only to the required data.
  • Data points and events from the cloud-based SaaS application
    Datapoints and equipment that are uploaded to the cloud for a given site can be monitored, and for some of them, depending on the datapoint’s nature, commanding / override is also possible. Datapoint values previously uploaded can be consulted using a Trend View. Events associated with the uploaded datapoints are reflected in the cloud-based SaaS application as well and aggregated to the level of equipment and site.
  • Remote tunnel access to the systems
    If the overview given in the cloud-based SaaS application is not enough and the user needs to drill down into more details for a specific site, it must be possible to establish a tunnel to the system and use the local Client UI for more advanced operations.
