Johnson Controls announced the launch of Metasys 15.0, their flagship open building automation solution. Facility managers can maximize building performance, guarantee compliance, and accelerate decarbonization with Metasys 15.0 unparalleled scalability, integrated resilience, and instant energy intelligence, all of which are designed to meet the needs of mission-critical situations.
New features include support for up to 1,000 IP devices per server — 60 percent more than most Building Automation Systems available today, along with multi-server redundancy offering simultaneous backup and a preconfigured ready-to-use Energy Management suite that delivers real-time insights and actionable data.
Metasys 15.0 is touted to simplify setup and can be scaled over numerous buildings and sites, offering competitive advantages to mission critical businesses like as healthcare systems, data centers and huge campuses, while increasing reliability and efficiency.
Key Features Include:
- Market-leading scalability: With support for 50,000 objects and 1,000 IP devices per server, Metasys 15.0 can be seamlessly deployed across large healthcare campuses, universities or multi-site enterprises without costly hardware upgrades. By allowing IP devices to communicate directly with the server, organizations can reduce infrastructure costs by up to 60% by eliminating the need for intermediary components.
- 24/7 data resiliency: New multi-server redundancy ensures critical alerts, trends, and audit logs are backed up on two Metasys servers simultaneously, helping to ensure operational continuity, data availability and compliance in mission-critical environments like hospitals and data centers.
- Ready-to-use energy management applications: The Energy Management suite offers ready-to-use applications which allow users to easily access and understand data across energy management, engineering productivity and cybersecurity to improve operations and planning.
- Fast industry configuration: Facility managers can now more easily configure and manage the system directly using a web client, reducing equipment setup time by nearly 95% compared to previous versions and eliminating the need for server shutdowns or external support.
- Interoperability – as an open BAS solution, Metasys 15, along with previous iterations, is widely recognized by field technicians for its leading ability to support a wide range of third-party IT and OT protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, API and more.
Metasys is a cornerstone of the Johnson Controls’ product ecosystem, enabling seamless integration across a broad range of building technologies to enable energy savings, system-wide optimization and thermal performance.
Metasys’s combined influence with Johnson Controls’ cutting-edge HVAC, fire, and security technologies, along with the OpenBlue smart building ecosystem and network of over 40,000 field and service personnel, can result in reduced operating costs and a higher return on investment.
