          Inventory as the Key to Success

          One of the biggest challenges was the detailed
          recording and analysis of the existing systems.
          Due to missing or outdated documentation, it was
          essential to accurately record the actual conditions.
          Under the direction of the hospital management
          and in close coordination with the engineering
          firm EliteBuildingArchiTec Germany GmbH and
          the construction department, a comprehensive
          concept was developed and translated into a
          structured service specification – the basis for
          sustainable and trouble-free implementation.

          Securely Networked with BACnet/SC

          From the outset, particular attention was paid to
          IT security. The new communication structure
          is based on the BACnet/SC standard (BACnet
          Secure Connect), which enables secure data
          transfer between the locations and the central
          data center through TLS-based encrypted
          communication.
