For smart buildings, connection equals success.

Aramark tags equipment behind walls so its digital twins can feed work orders

Aramark tags equipment behind walls so its digital twins can feed work orders

Aramark Facilities Management is turning its TwinOptix digital twins from visual models into operational tools. Pre-scans tag hidden equipment before walls close. That data flows into maintenance software, so a visual model can start producing work orders, though the payback builds slowly.

  • 01Aramark's pre-scans happen before walls and ceilings close. Crews tag maintainable equipment above ceilings and inside walls that they expect to service about once a year.
  • 02A key Aramark question: do tagged assets flow into the CMMS with safety and repair instructions, or stay in the 3D model?

Smart lighting forecast of $20.5 billion puts connected switches and relays in focus

Smart lighting forecast of $20.5 billion puts connected switches and relays in focus

MarketsandMarkets says IoT-enabled smart lighting drives growing demand for connected switches and automated relay units that provide centralized control. Its $20.50 billion forecast does not split that figure between relay-based control and PoE.

  • 01Smart lighting market forecast to reach $20.5 billion by 2032, a 10.9% compound annual growth rate from 2026 baseline.
  • 02Sensor-driven controls deliver more energy savings than fixture replacement alone; a fully integrated system combines LED luminaires, occupancy and daylight sensors, and centralized management with adaptive learning.
  • 03Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies installation by carrying power and data on one Cat6 cable and can draw on existing generator or IT UPS backup power.

Altronix's ReServ24B pairs dual 24VDC inputs with rapid battery charging

Altronix's ReServ24B pairs dual 24VDC inputs with rapid battery charging

Altronix's ReServ24B supports two 24VDC power supplies and switches the load to the other input without delay if one drops. When power returns, it uses excess power to rapidly recharge SLA, gel or LiFePO4 backup batteries. It connects to the LINQ2 module for remote monitoring, control and reporting.

  • 01When both 24V inputs are live, the ReServ24B feeds the load from whichever supply runs at the higher voltage, so the voltage setting decides which unit acts as primary.
  • 02A failover nobody sees is still a countdown: below 20V the battery-fed output shuts off and needs DC input power to restart.
  • 03Three supervision relays plus LINQ2 data on input status, battery status, output voltage and output current give a site a way to spot a failover well before the cutoff.
