iBMS

System Overview

The ALEF 360 iBMS Application provides centralized, real-time monitoring and control of critical building systems—HVAC, lighting, water, energy, and alarms—across single or multi-site operations. It helps reduce downtime, improve energy efficiency, and simplify maintenance through an intuitive web and mobile experience.

Quick Start Guide

  1. Asset Creation: Use the Asset Management module to define and configure building assets.
  2. Device Registration: Add and configure devices through the Device Management module. Ensure data points map to the correct assets.
  3. Access Permissions: Verify your role includes permissions to view, manage, and control assets within iBMS.

Core Capabilities

Portfolio-Wide Visibility

Compare and benchmark performance across buildings from one view.

Live System Monitoring

Track equipment status, energy trends, and alarms in real time.

Alarm Management

Prioritize, filter, and audit alarms across all sites.

CAFM Integration

Auto-generate work orders from faults and runtime triggers.

Mobile Access

Stay connected and respond to issues on the go.

Module Guide

Navigate key areas of iBMS. Each module provides focused tools for monitoring, triage, and action.

Dashboard & Portfolio View

Unified interface with live status, energy KPIs, alarm counts, and building health; switch between global and site views.

Persona Use Cases

Facility Manager

  • Monitors HVAC, lighting, water, energy, and safety alarms.
  • Uses dashboards and notifications to respond quickly to incidents.
  • Relies on escalation workflows to ensure critical alarms reach the right team and CAFM work orders are created when needed.

IoT Administrator

  • Registers and configures devices.
  • Links devices to assets and applications.
  • Sets up templates and manages notifications for consistency and reliability.

Key Features

Centralized monitoring of environment, safety, and asset health.
Automated alarm management with escalation workflows.
Device-agnostic support (LoRaWAN, BLE, Modbus).
Mobile access for on-the-go monitoring and response.
Integration with CAFM for automated work-order creation.

Benefits of iBMS

Improved Health & Safety – Maintain safe and comfortable conditions for occupants.
Faster Incident Response – Escalation workflows ensure no critical alarm is missed.
Data-Driven Maintenance – Use trends and history to optimize schedules.
Energy & Cost Savings – Analyze consumption to reduce waste and improve sustainability.

Example Scenarios

Chiller Overload Detected

Generates a Level-1 critical alarm, auto-escalated via email/WhatsApp, and triggers a CAFM ticket if unresolved within 30 minutes.

Energy Benchmarking

Compares daily kWh usage across multiple buildings to identify outliers and generate optimization reports.

Sensor Offline

Notifies IoT Admin when device heartbeat stops for over 15 minutes, prompting maintenance or device reset.
