Objective
The industrial objective of SIMBA is to provide a multimedia building supervisory system which seamlessly integrates at the operator level separately developed systems for building management, security and a facilities management.
The project will include multimedia capabilities through close co-operation with the users of the system. Operators will be involved in designing the best use of multimedia in their work environment. A test lab will be built up and continuous multimedia evaluations and tests carried out with the end users in the project, as well as with other end users organised into a user group. The system will also include a global software supervisory capability in order to make sure that the resulting integrated systems operate reliably.
The new operator environment will be installed and tested with the three end users in Finland and Sweden in a number of buildings. The new integrated functions as well as the multimedia functions will be evaluated in a structured manner.
From a functional and technical point of view, the objectives are the following:
- the user should be able to navigate in a seamless way between the different applications (HVAC, fire, security, etc.) from a single or from multiple workstations, enabling him/her to concentrate on the task being performed.
- introduce multimedia capabilities capable of yielding a new integrated operator environment which improves the ease of use of the system.
- validate technically the integration and inter-operability between separately developed applications.
- validate technically the generic nature of the integration approach and supervisory capability, so that other application areas can apply the same integration technology.
The consortium consists of a building management system supplier (TAC AB, Sweden, coordinator), a software producer of facility management software (Kupari Engineering, Finland), a security system supplier (Securitas, Finland), a building automation designer and specifier (PI), a software house (Trialog, France), and three end users (Ministry of Defence, Real Estate Department, Finland, Sponda Oy, Finland, Celero Support (Volvo), Sweden). In addition to the end-users in the consortium, a number of other end-users organised into a user group will be involved in the test activities.
