Keeping it Simple, Making it Great!
I started in the Construction Industry with Johnson Controls in 1985 as an University of South Alabama Engineering Co-Op draftsman and the IoT wasn’t. Direct Digital Control was competing for buildings with Pneumatics and Electric Control. My first project was the New Mobile, AL Airport. Our scope of work was Integrated BMS, Fire and Security! It was clunky at best, very slow yet for the time, eloquent and futuristic! The idea of technology existing together promised efficiencies not readily available from separate systems operating in silos.
Through the years, there were many more attempts at integrated solutions delivered by teams I served on or lead as well as competitors. In our case, the objective was to enable Owner’s operations staff to maximize their effectiveness and efficiency. As sustainability objectives evolved, clients wanted their investment in technology to deliver more without the need for more skilled operational labor. Yet more challenges emerged concurrent with IoT like IT stakeholders requirements, sustainability objectives, evolving codes and standards, accelerated project schedules and increased Day 1 demands of operations.
Around 2014 we were executing a major project for a now local Aviation Client. Even with our success, the installation of technology was operationally disconnected as it was installed in the traditional silos of contracting. From this experience, emerged an innovative approach to Operational Technology design and installation. This approach was first attempted at the Mobile Airport in 1985, then again years later at the Museum of History and now it had landed in the Aviation Manufacturing market.
Over these years, many questions have surfaced with our clients, trade partners and owners concerning the implementation of technology focused projects. I hope by sharing them with you, you will avoid some of the pitfalls we encountered:
After 35 Years of working with Integrated Technology as it has evolved for our forward thinking, sustainability minded clients, the advantages of having one company capable and proven to deliver from concept through Day One Experience is preferred.
Today, our solutions include comprehensive support from Concept through Day One experience for all Operational Technology. Our commitment is to engage early, deliver strong and improve as we work together with our trade partners and clients with a common goal. Together, as One Team, we can Keep it Simple and Make it Great!
