BUILDING AUTOMATION AND CONTROLS FOR DATA CENTERS

Optimize mission-critical facility performance with real-time visibility and control through the WebCTRL® Building Automation System (BAS).
HOW AUTOMATED LOGIC SUPPORTS DATA CENTER OPERATIONS

Automated Logic supports data center teams across four core operational areas:

  • Maintain Environmental Visibility & Control:
    Data centers depend on close monitoring and control of temperature, humidity, pressure, and related environmental conditions. Automated Logic helps operators monitor these conditions and respond to changes through a centralized building automation interface.
  • Integrate Building Systems & Data Sources:
    Data centers often rely on multiple building and infrastructure systems. Automated Logic supports integration with systems such as EPMS and DCIM and can share building automation data with enterprise applications using protocols and APIs such as MQTT and RESTful interfaces.
  • Support Energy & Operational Planning:
    Data centers generate large volumes of operational data across cooling and building systems. Automated Logic helps teams review that data to support energy planning, system analysis, and broader operational decision-making.
  • Help Protect Building Automation Networks:
    Building automation networks in data centers require careful attention to connectivity and cybersecurity practices. Automated Logic supports secure communications approaches and aligns its BAS software with broader Carrier cybersecurity processes and testing practices.

Predictive Insights analytics for WebCTRL building automation data
PREDICTIVE INSIGHTS FOR OPERATIONAL SUPPORT

Predictive Insights adds cloud-based analytics that can help teams review patterns in system behavior, identify developing issues, and support maintenance prioritization. It can also support remote advisory workflows for teams that want additional operational visibility.

Fault Detection, Diagnostics & Alarm Management

Automated Logic supports alarm reporting, routing, acknowledgement tracking, and alarm archiving to help teams document events and follow-up actions. These capabilities can support response workflows, operational traceability, and review of building-system events across the data center environment.

Trend Analysis & Operational Review

Trend and Scatter Plot Tools help teams graph and review data from across the system to support diagnostics, troubleshooting, and operational analysis. They also provide documentation that can support review, reporting, and longer-term planning workflows.

Support for Multi-Site Data Center Operations

Automated Logic supports organizations with multi-site data center portfolios through centralized account coordination, standardization approaches, and local support models designed to improve consistency across facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Building Automation in Data Centers

Building automation systems in a data center monitor and control cooling systems, airflow, environmental conditions, and related building infrastructure so operators can maintain visibility and respond to changing conditions.

Data centers often include equipment and subsystems from multiple vendors. Open integration helps teams unify data across building systems, improve coordination, and reduce manual work caused by disconnected systems.

The WebCTRL Building Automation System provides a browser-based interface for monitoring equipment, responding to alarms, adjusting schedules, and reviewing system trends so teams can manage building systems without writing code for routine tasks.

Controls data helps teams review trends, investigate alarms, and support maintenance, capacity, and operational planning decisions over time.

Integrated data center management connects building automation and data center management workflows so teams can improve visibility across facility and data center systems and support more coordinated decision-making.
