AUTOMATION SYSTEMS
In today's rapidly evolving technological world, automation systems are creating a significant transformation in the business realm. Automation is an approach that involves the use of machines and software to make business processes more efficient, reduce costs, and minimize human error. Automation systems can automate repetitive tasks, data processing operations, production lines, and even complex decision-making processes. This offers companies opportunities to gain a competitive advantage, increase productivity, and manage resources more effectively.
At Izmir Bakırçay University, the automation system is effectively utilized to ensure the ventilation of university buildings, integration of VRF systems into the overall system, use of individual on-off systems, notifying the system administrator in case of smart system component failures, and setting up periodic maintenance reminders.
The picture below shows the main control screen of the automation system.

As you can see, air conditioners and ventilators can be controlled from our main screen and malfunctions can be monitored instantly. In addition, the well and hydrophore can also be monitored instantly.
Another picture below shows our system where the management of air conditioners is detailed.

As can be seen, the real-time management of various data, including the minimum temperature value, maximum temperature value, and controllers, is possible on the main control screen of the automation system. In case of any malfunction, it is indicated on the screen. Additionally, as part of energy-saving measures, air conditioners are turned on during scheduled class hours and automatically turned off after the classes end. Ventilation systems also operate based on predetermined schedules through the automation system. This is depicted in the following image.
