Integrating MainBoss with Building Automation Systems
MainBoss Maintenance Management software has the potential to be integrated with any
building automation system capable of sending email.
This is usually a straightforward process that requires
no special interface between the two software packages.
As long as a BAS can output email alerts, MainBoss software
can process the alerts and incorporate them into a standard work order process.
The key to the process are two pieces of software:
MainBoss @Requests and
MainBoss WRNotifier.
@Requests accepts email messages sent to a designated address
and creates work requests from the contents of those messages.
WRNotifier notifies maintenance personnel when a new request
has been received (and can send alerts to pagers or cell-phones
if they’re email-enabled).
Put these together with the BAS alerts and you get the following process:
-
The BAS detects problem.
It sends an email message to MainBoss @Requests.
-
WRNotifier tells maintenance personnel a new request has arrived.
-
After completion, work and results are recorded in equipment history records.
-
Maintenance supervisor creates work order using request info and assigns personnel to the job.
-
@Requests creates a work request in the MainBoss database.
