Goals
Implement a reliable IoT solution for lighting control and building automation
Find versatile and cost-effective devices that can be easily programmed and deployed in a large-scale environment
Achieve flexibility in monitoring and controlling various systems, including lighting, medical gas, voltage, and generator load shedding
Challenges
Requirement for a dependable solution for scheduled event lighting changes based on holidays and events
Need for flexibility in building automation systems with multiple applications and endpoints
Cost control and budget limitations for a not-for-profit healthcare organization
Solutions
Utilize ControlByWeb controllers, including X-600M, X-410, X-417, X-408, WebRelay, and others, for lighting control and building automation
Implement LUA programming language for extreme flexibility and control in task management
Use the X-600M as a SCADA system with customized dashboards for monitoring multiple I/O’s
Results
Over 360 I/O points successfully implemented, covering generator monitoring, light control, voltage monitoring, medical gas monitoring, & more
Dependable scheduled event lighting achieved using ControlByWeb controllers for exterior building lights
Flexibility in building automation with 3 separate systems based on the X-600M platform, addressing various applications
Improved visibility, troubleshooting, & reliability through remote monitoring and control of multiple endpoints
Flexibility on DisplayBrad (Lead Electrician at Lima Memorial Health System) has 3 separate building automation systems in place, all based on the X-600M platform. This module gives him greater programming power and a dashboard that acts as his SCADA software. |

Compatibility headeaches - Some devices don't work as well outside of their own ecosystem Too expensive or unreliable - Low cost monitoring and control is often unreliable, costing more to maintain Limited use cases - Devices that are purpose-built often have narrow applications |
Seamless integration - Our modules work just as well in other software as they do using on-board logic Low cost and reliable - Affordability without sacrificing quality, justifying monitoring in more places Limitless potential - Monitor and control anything, anywhere͈ your only limit is your imagination |
