CHALLENGES:
• Capabilities and conditions vary from site to site, region to region, with no consistent approach to maintenance/updates,
with most installed prior to IP-based controls and protocols
«
• Many sites have multiple non-integrated systems for HVAC, lighting, metering, & compressed air, few with complete facility coverage
• Many communication methods and protocols, many proprietary ing technologically advanced buildings with a lean energy footprint. The
• Most are ‘Shadow IT’ and not compliant with corporate IT standards
SUCCESSES:
• Created a global BMS standard supporting and reinforcing Ford’s Energy Management Operating System (EMOS)
• Developed and implemented the global BMS Standard that is IT approved/ supported and residing on the Ford Office
«
Automation Network (OAN) and Plant Manufacturing Network (MPN) IoT plays an important part in developing connected building strategies.
• 32 of 85 manufacturing sites & 20 corporate research and engineering properties have partial/full BMS SHOWCASE SPONSORS:
integration to the global standard; 8 commercial office buildings integrated to the global standard
• 2016: Ford announced the Dearborn Campus Transition, effecting the majority of non-manufacturing
facilities that includes BMS to enable continuous monitoring and energy optimization
The IT team is being challenged to think differently about how we deploy
