Visualisation

Seeing is believing

Visualisation is used to give meaningful context to the sometimes vast array of alerts and controls. Typical visualisations include a simple map of a building with symbols or information located at the relevant points. On an overall plan for example the plant room may get highlighted in red - a simple click on this may drill down into the plant room showing various elements, maybe a small red light on a boiler which failed to fire or valve which didn't open when it should have.

Visualisation systems can be tied to specific parts of an overall control system or simply provide an interface to every function and output. Releasing doors, opening windows, seeing emergency lighting test results and many other possible options are available.

The key to getting a visualisation system right is to understand who will use it. Administrators and facilities managers may need to know the impact of a fault whereas a maintenance technician will need to understand the details surrounding the fault. Visualisations can be customised to suit the target audience - from whole building drill-downs to individual focused displays, physical wall-mounted touch panels to portable or web-based solutions.
