Efficient building
management
Economical management of
production halls
Energy- and cost-efficient operation, pre-
ventive protection for people and assets,
well conceived and easy-to-use electrical
building functions – facility managers who
want to benefit from all the advantages
offered by advanced building control in
production halls opt for GAMMA instabus,
the future-oriented system that ensures
more economic efficiency, security, and
comfort. The intelligence of a solution for
a production hall becomes apparent when
the different needs of the various usage
sectors have to be satisfied.
Sustainable efficiency
Be it a new building, a retrofit project, or
the modernization of a production hall,
Siemens supports you in improving the
economy and energy efficiency of all
spaces and areas by intelligently integrat-
ing all electrical functions into GAMMA
instabus. In addition to lower personnel
costs, the system reduces operating costs
24 hours a day, especially thanks to demand-
controlled lighting, heating, ventilation,
and air conditioning.
Environmental risks
Security and safety in production halls are
of prime importance: protecting people
and assets, preventing damage, and keep-
ing consequential costs within limits.
The integration of emergency and escape
route lighting or of the fire and intrusion
alarm system into the innovative GAMMA
instabus building control system ensures
full-scale supervision and – in case of an
emergency – fast, correct, and targeted
reactions.
Support of processes
The economic efficiency of the entire
plant becomes particularly apparent
when usage of the different spaces and
sectors within the production hall changes
or when, subsequently, the functions of
GAMMA instabus are extended. In that
case, the system can be quickly and
straightforwardly adapted to the specific
requirements of the different usage areas.
In addition to the functionality and flexi-
bility the system offers, great emphasis
was placed on intuitive and convenient
operation: by means of operating displays,
touch panels, remote control and switches,
or a central PC for visualization.
