Saia® DDC.Plus Partner concept
The system integrator as DDC-Plus partner
As a control and regulation specialist, Saia-Burgess Controls develops and produces all its own hardware, firmware and software components for the entire Saia® DDC.Plus product range. For the technical implementation of all building automation requirements, the company has for many years collaborated with trained system partners, who realize projects on behalf of the builders of houses, commercial properties or industrial facilities. System partners offer system solutions based on the Saia® DDC.Plus portfolio of products for the entire life cycle of the building’s technical equipment. This goes through all the stages from planning and project processing to complete system integration and operational control, including energy and technical facility management.
To focus its own company resources better, Saia® basically excludes itself from offering complete automation solutions. A situation in which it might compete against its own customers could therefore never arise.
The device manufacturer (OEM) as DDC-Plus Partner
The characteristics of the Saia® DDC.Plus product portfolio also make it particularly attractive for cost-optimized volume applications, where industrial grade quality and durability are required. With its high internal added value, it is a strongly competitive, flexible and competent partner for the control technology of mass produced machines, devices and apparatus. The range offered in the OEM segment starts with standard systems that have an OEM label and extends through customized interfaces for standard PCD/PCS systems to dedicated Smart Controls solutions. Partners can use the programming environment of Saia® PG5 Controls Suite to encapsulate their own know-how in protected functions and store them in the system where they are processed. A large basic memory not only lets them file web-compatible configuration menus for spare parts lists, but also system documentation. All these characteristics enhance the efficiency of commissioning, service and maintenance for OEMs.
