TouchThink Industrial All-in-One PCs Empower BMS Building Management

Background of the Industry’s Development

The rapid advancement of urbanization is continuously raising expectations for modern buildings in terms of comfort, energy efficiency, safety, и автоматизация. As a result, various subsystems such as HVAC, lighting, access control, and fire protection are expanding, transforming buildings from simple physical structures into complex building ecosystems. Однако, this increasing scale and complexity also bring new challenges to building management:

How can we centrally manage multiple subsystems to reduce maintenance complexity and costs?

This challenge can be effectively addressed through the deployment of a Building Management System (BMS).

Project Requirements

A foreign client sought industrial All-in-One PCs to support their BMS project and outlined the following requirements:

1. Android compatibility for running custom software applications.
2. Low power consumption with stable performance and strong data processing capabilities.
3. High-definition display supporting 3D visualization, maps, and touch operations.
4. Ethernet and WiFi support for remote control and wireless access.
5. Adequate I/O interfaces for expanded device connectivity.
