To manage smaller buildings, Siemens introduces Connect Box, a smart Internet of Things solution

Connect Box, an open and user-friendly Internet of Things solution created to manage small to medium-sized buildings, has been released by Siemens Smart Infrastructure.

A user-friendly method for tracking building performance, Connect Box is the newest product in the Siemens Xcelerator line. It has the potential to optimize energy efficiency by up to 30% and significantly enhance indoor air quality in small to medium-sized buildings like schools, retail stores, apartments, or small offices. Customers can easily, quickly, and at scale accelerate their digital transformation with the help of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform.

Users of Connect Box can complete crucial daily building management chores from a single location using a cloud-based interface without the need for an additional gateway or piece of software. The optimization of building operations is aided by alarm warnings for prospective problems as well as visualizations that show historical trends and the performance of the building at any given time.

Connect Box provides simple online access on a desktop or mobile device. System integrators, technicians, and facility managers don't need engineering expertise to set up, configure, and run the system because installation is quick and simple using plug and play. More than 500 ready-to-connect field equipment from Siemens and other companies are available in the included library, which is constantly expanding. 11 communication protocols, both standard and proprietary, wired or wireless, supported by smart converters includes LoRaWAN, BACnet, Modbus, and KNX.
