At Light + Building 2016, the world’s leading trade fair for lighting and building
services technology in Frankfurt am Main, Bosch is presenting intelligently
connected solutions for commercial buildings and homes. Bosch energy and building
technology enhances comfort, safety and security, saves energy, and reduces
operating costs. To this end, the supplier of technology and services is focusing on
connectivity via the internet of things.

Intelligently connected Bosch building security systems discreetly ensure smooth
processes – and minimize operating and personnel costs. Bosch is presenting its
building management system known as BIS (building integration system), which
combines all the security systems of a building on one platform: video surveillance,
fire-alarm and evacuation systems, intrusion-alarm technology, and access control.
Building technology used to open and close barriers, gates, and doors, for example,
can also be controlled with BIS. In addition, Bosch is introducing the option of
connecting the MAP 5000 (modular alarm platform) intrusion alarm system with the
MATRIX access control system. The system ensures greater security and efficiency
when it comes to security management. Bosch is also showcasing its new combined
public address and voice evacuation system known as PAVIRO. PAVIRO facilitates
the swift evacuation of a building, thereby reducing the risk of mass panic breaking
out. The company’s EffiLink remote service system ensures fast, cost-effective
maintenance, remote diagnostics and parameterization, software updates,
troubleshooting, and support from service technicians.

Intelligently connected Bosch heating, cooling, and ventilation systems provide an
ideal indoor climate simply and automatically – enabling up to 30-percent
reductions in energy use, costs, and CO2 emissions. With its Energy Platform, Bosch
is presenting a monitoring and analysis tool for increasing energy efficiency in
commercial buildings. Companies and owners are provided with a comprehensive
overview of energy consumers and costs in real time. Intelligent algorithms spot
deviations from the target state, send alerts in case of malfunctions or if tolerances
are exceeded, provide specific suggestions for solutions, and automatically
implement those solutions in part. This creates the basis for further approaches to
optimization and an efficient supply of energy in the long term.

Bosch’s solutions for smart homes make life more convenient and secure, and
relieve users of tedious household chores. The Bosch Smart Home System connects
devices in the home with the internet as well as with each other – via a single
system platform. Users are able to intuitively set up and operate the system, which
is modular and expandable. It is also easy to connect compatible devices built by
other manufacturers to it. All devices connected with the Bosch Smart Home
System can be controlled and monitored from anywhere with an app for
smartphones and tablets. Bosch is showcasing its current product portfolio, which
includes the Bosch smart home controller, intelligent radiator thermostats, door-
window contacts, a smart plug, and lighting solutions from partner Philips Hue. The
smart home controller is the central control unit of the Bosch system. It connects
the components with the internet and each other. With the help of the window
contacts, for example, the system automatically turns down the heating if a window
is opened, saving the user time and money.
