How did AVEVA CONNECT and PI System help CosaTron respond to the COVID-19 crisis?
With the COVID-19 pandemic, indoor air quality became a priority for building owners and managers. CosaTron combined AVEVA CONNECT and AVEVA PI System to offer a turnkey real-time remote monitoring solution. Sensors collect environmental data, PI System structures it and CONNECT enables cloud analytics and delivery to customers via on-site displays. This architecture turns data into actionable information for the health and well-being of building occupants.
Why has remote air quality monitoring become essential?
The COVID-19 pandemic made building owners, employers and occupants aware of the importance of indoor air quality for health. CosaTron's customers now wanted to be able to assess conditions in their spaces themselves, in real time and remotely. The combination of AVEVA CONNECT and PI System meets exactly this need: sensor data collection, advanced analytics in the cloud and actionable recommendations. This trend is here to stay, making proactive monitoring an expected standard in commercial and office property management.
How does AVEVA PI System structure data from air quality sensors?
AVEVA PI System collects high-resolution data from the air quality sensors (CO?, VOCs, fine particles, humidity, temperature) deployed by CosaTron. Structuring through Asset Framework contextualizes each sensor (building, floor, zone) and makes comparative analyses easier. This solid foundation is then used by AVEVA CONNECT for predictive analytics and sharing with customers. The PI + CONNECT combination is a modern architecture for B2B environmental monitoring services.
What added value does CosaTron deliver through CONNECT data services?
Beyond simple data collection, CosaTron uses AVEVA CONNECT to offer its customers advanced analytics and actionable recommendations. CONNECT data services turn raw data into business insights: ventilation optimization, early detection of degradation and advice on corrective actions. This move up the value chain allows CosaTron to position itself as a strategic partner for building environmental performance, rather than just a sensor supplier. It is a concrete demonstration of industrial servitization.
How does AVEVA support smart building players in their digital transformation?
The combination of AVEVA CONNECT and PI System provides smart building players like CosaTron with a mature technology platform: collection, structuring, analysis, sharing and presentation of environmental data. This cloud-ready infrastructure allows them to quickly deploy value-added services at scale without investing heavily in proprietary infrastructure. It is an essential lever for accelerating building digitalization and meeting occupants' growing expectations for health, comfort and environmental sustainability.
