GKS Data Centre: Centralized Monitoring with BMS

A data centre needs reliable and continuous monitoring of its critical systems.

At the GKS Data Centre in Bengaluru, the existing controllers were already collecting important equipment data. However, the operators did not have a single interface to view all the information.

As a result, checking different systems often required physical visits to the equipment and panels.

The Challenge

The existing setup created several monitoring difficulties:

• Fire status had to be checked manually.
• 9 cooling units had to be checked individually.
• 8 power units had to be checked at their respective panels.
• Equipment issues could remain unnoticed between manual checks.

The controllers already had the required information. The main challenge was making that information easily accessible to the operators.

Our Approach

Instead of replacing the existing controllers, we integrated the available controller data with the BMS using BACnet.

A centralized BMS interface was then created to display the important equipment information in one place.

This allowed operators to monitor the systems without having to physically visit each equipment location for routine status checks.

What Changed?

• Fire status can be monitored from the BMS.
• Cooling equipment can be viewed from a single interface.
• Power information is available centrally.
• Camera information can be accessed through the monitoring interface.
• Operators can check equipment status without visiting every panel.
• The existing controllers were retained.

The BMS visualization was completed in 10 days.

The Key Idea

The data was already available. We made it visible.

A controller can collect valuable information, but that information becomes much more useful when operators can easily view it and respond to problems.

The project demonstrates how existing automation infrastructure can be connected to a centralized BMS without replacing the existing controllers.
