NEW PARIS, Indiana - February 08, 2016 -
KMC Controls, a leader in building automation, today announced the
general release of its award-winning KMC Commander™ Internet of
Things (IoT) appliance for building automation.
Commander was launched in limited quantities at KMC's annual partner conference in San Antonio, Texas in late September.
The Commander IoT platform as a service (PaaS) makes system
inter-connectivity, data visualization, and energy optimization for
small and medium buildings easier and more cost effective than ever
before. The platform is based on Dell Edge Gateway 5000 Series
hardware and features IntelŪ processors and a specialized Ubuntu Snappy
Linux software stack. Commander's analytics are powered by an enhanced
data tagging and visualization framework from J2 Innovations.
"The IoT market is saturated with solutions that claim to be
cutting-edge, but which end up being clunky and hard to use," said Andy
Rhodes, executive director of Commercial IoT Solutions at Dell. "KMC
Commander, built with Dell's IoT Gateway, provides a truly open and
secure platform to connect building automation systems seamlessly to
the decision-making power of IoT. Our partnership is a perfect example
of solutions that are specialized enough for the data demands of
operational technology (OT) yet seamlessly manageable in an information
technology (IT) environment."
As more and more devices are connected to
IoT, purpose-built appliances such as KMC Commander are vital to
ensuring secure cloud connectivity and fully unlocking the power of
cloud analytics.
"KMC Commander will revolutionize the way buildings and building
portfolios are managed," Richard Newberry, strategic advisor to KMC's
board of directors said. "IoT connectivity is the future of the
building automation industry, and KMC Commander is the only IoT
solution designed from the ground up to meet the demands of this
market."
