Powerful, efficient energy and building management in the cloud

Monitoring and optimising the building operation is now also possible in the cloud. SAUTER Vision Services is the solution for professionally automated building and plant management. At the same time, Vision Services provides access to proven and brand-new functions from SAUTER Vision Center 7.0.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SAUTER Vision Services provides a cost-efficient entry into the world of modern building management. Additional investments in hardware and software can be saved. Energy management and analytic functions enable increased efficiency, continuously optimised, and reliable operation of plants and buildings.

With SAUTER Vision Services, building operators access the proven functionalities of SAUTER Vision Center in the cloud. Comprehensive, powerful modules are available for energy monitoring, building management and energy management and analytics – with the advantage that they do not require a complex local IT infrastructure.

 

Solution with many advantages

A few examples of popular modules and applications with Vision Services:

  • Energy monitoring with consumption overviews in the form of dashboards, charts and meter overviews
  • Monthly reports, energy alarms, and data import and export functions
  • Energy and plant optimisation with additional chart types such as SANKEY and carpet and scatter plots, as well as histogram displays
  • Building and plant management via plant schematics and list displays, with automated control options via Scenario Manager, combining alarms into collective alarms, and the recording of any changes in audit trails
  • Building analytics with automatic detection of operating pattern deviations, oscillations, deviation from setpoints, as well as immediate operator information in the form of KPIs in dashboards and alarm overviews

In addition, the project size remains flexible: Depending on the requirements, plants can be added throughout the life cycle of a building, and further Vision Services modules can be added. It is possible to integrate energy management and analytics functions, or building management functions, at any time.

 

IoT devices as a prerequisite for secure cloud connection

SAUTER ecos-IoT (ecos504/505) with integrated MQTT client and broker ensure a certificate-encrypted connection to the SAUTER Cloud. In local plants, ecos room automation stations with BACnet, Modbus, KNX, Dali and M-Bus protocols act as gateways. Information from the SAUTER modulo 6 automation stations is also exchanged with the SAUTER Cloud via ecos-IoT. This ensures that almost all information from the local building automation and a wide range of sensor and meter data is available in SAUTER Vision Services via MQTT gateways.

SAUTER Vision Services is available immediately. Please contact our sales department.

SAUTER Head Office was the target of a cyber security incident on November 20, 2024. SAUTER’s IT department immediately activated, well defined, internal emergency plans. All IT systems were completely isolated and shut down to successfully prevent the attack from spreading. External cybersecurity experts and data forensics specialists then began to check all systems and restore them securely. This process is unfortunately time-consuming, but absolutely necessary to ensure that the cyber-attack does not continue at a later date.


The SAUTER websites have been affected by the emergency operation and are available again with immediate effect.


There are currently no concrete indications that our customers' infrastructures have been compromised in any way by SAUTER devices. It appears to be an opportunistic incident with no clearly recognisable long-term goals or systematic attacks. The situation does not currently suggest that there is a targeted, sustained threat to the affected systems.
