Our June issue theme is "Pushing Digital Dinosaurs" The theme is about
the end of several eras and the beginning of new ones full of change.
Can we push start the traditional Digital Dinosaurs, or herd them out
of our way if they can not change and adapt????? . We all need to
question whether we feel something pushing on us.....big smile.
I do. If you do not feel the pushing then you do not understand the change upon us. From the Head Dinosaur 😁
I will start the Sinclair-Saurus with quotes from my article of 21 years ago The first year of AutomatedBuildings.com
As the space in time seems familiar to me, I wrote I had better get on with my life's vocation of catching up.
Digital Dinosaur Does Dallas could have been a title for a low-grade horror movie but proved to be a significant growing point for us. Our involvement in The State of the Art Building Automation session at the AHREXPO helped us both inform and be informed about the rapid web growth as well as the exciting topics of evolving communication standards. We discovered that our greatest asset was the fact that we dropped out of the sky without the normal connection to large manufacturers or publishers. Once we convinced the industry that our intentions were honorable and that we wanted to build an automated building web resource the support was phenomenal. ( Our 21 years of continuous education sessions at AHREXPO.com was interrupted this year when Chicago likely to be the biggest event ever, was cancelled by the Covid Curse and we are all hoping for safe return to Las Vegas for 2022 )
"I
have been on the leading/bleeding edge of the building automation
industry for over 30 years. I have seen pneumatic control give way to
electronic, electronics turn into main frame computers as big as
refrigerators, mainframes give way to mini computers the size of
suitcases, mini computers evolve to stand alone panels the size of
clipboards which gave away to micro panels the size of pocket
calculators, and now input and output devices become addressable. Now
that the hardware had virtually disappeared and the migration of DDC
control to the Internet had started it seemed that the next edge was
here and I had better get on with my life's vocation of catching up.
Amazed by the implied simplicity of the Internet I was frustrated by the lack of organization of our automation industry. My special interest was how net web browsers would be used to present building automation graphical information anywhere. As I assembled a great number of bookmarks/links pertaining to this subject, it occurred to me that I might not be the only person trying to make sense of this wonderful new world. This new virtual medium had the power to allow organized and logical presentation complete with industry interaction. The potential opportunity to pull the Automated Building Industry together as a virtual community excited me.
A blur of our past 22 years for you to catch up, From Y2K to 2021 Click on 3D for a fly over is a few minutes
This evolved into my and the industries Education with non stop linking to relative pieces of industry information and history and sharing with industry magazines like connected contractor
As you see I have a Dinosaur fixation, but what has really changed in 21 year? Clouds have come closer and with easier access at lower cost , Powerful Edge computers replacing micro processors bring amazing capabilities , AI's influences is everywhere, Data is the new utility and is
king, Occupants are our new controlled variable their well being is our well being mobile experience and abundance of API and APPs ..Wireless wave washes over all very quickly.
I feel the return of the excitement of the past 21 years, the explosion of dot com the following dot bomb folks investing in vapor ware and a whole new way that would change our world Mobile Apps increasing our Mobile experience and expectations
It is now about Building a Digital Family of Trust New technologies are solving old problems while creating new concerns.
Dinosaur Slayers like our contributing editor Nicolas have been whispering at first but now is shouting about and changing environment that is hazardous to dinosaur thinking in this LinkedIn post great discussion breaks out about the changes Artificial Intelligence will bring.
This is what the more evolved "the dinosaur-pushers" are talking about these days. Thank you James Dice, I feel you pushing... Big Smile.
Sometimes it is just too hard to get a word in edgewise during our 10-way conversations! Still they are fun conversations! Feel privileged to be a part.
I just wanted to make a few points:
1) the dinosaur-pushers have a new phrase "API-First Buildings IoT" -- Check out this James Dice conversation:
Followed up with this discussion The API-first Data Layer [Nexus newsletter #75]
Leads to this article back on our web site
How building digitalization is changing the Master Systems Integrators focus area—Google’s Sabine Lam on a horizontal system architecture and what that means for a building’s service provider roles.
I do. If you do not feel the pushing then you do not understand the change upon us. From the Head Dinosaur 😁

“MSIs
are a key element to a successful deployment of this solution. Their
role is evolving towards a much more security and data driven focus
area where OT protocols are being replaced with everything
communicating IT (MQTT/UDMI) and where the data modeling aspect is a
means to enable applications across an entire portfolio instead of
specific to one building.”
Sabine was one of the speakers The Greatest BAS Show on Earth! never seen before products, software, and CONCEPTS that will shape the next decade in BAS technology! This BUSINESS TRACK For sales professionals, managers, executives How to Successfully Utilize Master Systems Integration
This track focused on case studies and implementation plans relating to Master Systems Integration, highlighting instances of how people are hiring or working with Master Systems Integrators. It will additionally, highlight best practices/current trends on how the industry is evolving to take advantage of new technology amidst modern challenges, like data management.
