Building Integration System (BIS) The Bosch Building Integration System (BIS) is an open PC-based system that applies the best elements of security system technology with the advantages of the latest information technology, including a three-tier system architecture, OPC (Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control) interface, and Internet technologies.
Integrated Enterprise Management Every building contains an assortment of equipment for temperature control, ventilation, access control, fire detection, video monitoring and intrusion alarms. For an enterprise of many buildings in dispersed locations, controlling these assorted systems is inefficient, labor intensive and costly. The Bosch Building Integration System (BIS) offers an integrated solution with one user interface. Retail chains, stores and malls BIS was designed by Bosch, an industry leader in quality security systems, to provide comprehensive, responsive control for a wide range of environments, including: Bank headquarters and branch locations BIS offers a single, unified point of control for an innovative enterprise management solution that harnesses security system technology with information technology. The result is outstanding efficiency, economy and security for your site. Warehouses, exhibition halls, conference centers Multi-facility medical complexes Office buildings, museums University campuses Large-scale industrial sites Law enforcement facilities and penal institutions With BIS you benefit from: Enhanced access control and security Simplified inclusion of third party and custom applications Smooth integration with diverse system architectures and networks Embedded support of AutoCAD or AutoCAD compatible/convertible files Advanced personnel database management tools
Industry Leader in Application of New Technology With the Building Integration System (BIS), Bosch Security Systems brings a true enterprise solution to the marketplace. No other system provides these features with these associated benefits. Using the latest in web technology and Microsoft support tools, BIS offers a complete building integration solution. BUILDING INTEGRATION SYSTEM COMPETITIVE MATRIX Modularity for Growth A basic Building Integration System (BIS) configuration supports control panels with configurable doors. Modules can easily upgrade the system and each additional server (running on another PC with a BIS connection server) can integrate additional panels and doors. While the roots of BIS are in security, other important site functions are all connectible and controllable using the centralized control station. EXAMPLE: The Video Engine package controls video surveillance so that alarm events prompt all connected digital video recorders to record activity. EXAMPLE: The BIS server in San Francisco monitors a Detroit branch bank s activity and initiates the after-hours lighting and heating/air conditioning configuration at 10:30pm, once the cleaning crew has left. The modularity of BIS allows you to add or remove controlled functions, adapting to your needs as the enterprise expands and as building security and operating requirements change. And that means more efficient routine operations and faster response in emergencies.
A Natural Integrator The Bosch Building Integration System (BIS) allows an enterprise to maximize the benefit of currently installed Bosch Security Systems subsystems and integrate products smoothly from other manufacturers through the single user interface. Because BIS is an open, non-proprietary system, it serves as the hub for all vital building and enterprise management functions. This lets you view separate, isolated applications within a common, flexible interface that is customized to show your specific information requirements and status. BIS may also be configured with remote workstations sharing system monitor and control tasks, if required. Tying It All Together Only the Building Integration System (BIS) from Bosch comprehensively monitors and controls all functions that use network connections of any type within a building, around a campus or throughout an enterprise. This means that the following functions may be unified into a centralized control function, reducing staff and increasing economy and operational efficiency. From video to alarm and printing equipment, industry standard protocols let all your installed or inherited hardware connect to and be controlled within the BIS framework. It extends your return on investment for past equipment purchases, protects your future equipment choices and reduces operator training time. Further, combining all application information and data elements into a unified database provides you with more informed operation and automatic data transfer between and among intrusion, access and video management systems. This means you are managing your site using solid fact-based data at all times. EXAMPLE: BIS automatically disables and enables special-function check printers at the appropriate business hour for a freight forwarder managing warehouses in Eastern, Mountain and Pacific time zones. EXAMPLE: BIS detects activation of a pull-box alarm in a remote parking lot on a college campus after midnight. It focuses nearby surveillance cameras on the area close to the alarm box, notifies campus police, activates spot lights on the nearest buildings and retrieves AutoCAD images of the surrounding area.
Automated access control Closed circuit television (CCTV) Dynamic alarm and image mapping Fire monitoring and alarms Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning (HVAC) Intercom Intrusion alarms Lighting Nurse call Personnel database and authorization Photo identification and generation Point of sale systems Printers and network devices Process automation and control Computer numerical controls Electromechanical controls Industrial control software Programmable logical controllers Proximity/positioning sensors Public address system Video badging Video management systems Video personnel verification Voice/Data/Fax telephone networks Call detail tracking Conference calling And more! Your site may also have other specialized functions that can be controlled by BIS. Your Bosch Certified Security Dealer can provide details. EXAMPLE: BIS in St. Louis monitors two dozen enclosed retail shopping malls, each with more than 30 stores. It fails to verify a Salt Lake City mall worker early one morning, detecting a major discrepancy between the worker s badge ID and database information, flagging the incident as suspicious. Protected areas are immediately locked down; video tape of the attempted access is spooled up while local police and mall authorities are silently alerted with a digital picture, signature facsimile, a physical description and other contact information. The public address system broadcasts a predetermined coded message to notify site personnel of the possible security breach. Integration of AutoCAD Files Most existing facilities and virtually every new project use AutoCAD or AutoCAD compatible/convertible files. The Building Integration System (BIS) features integral support of AutoCAD, providing you with these important advantages: Improved systems integration for existing or new projects Seamless operation of integrated systems Simplified cataloguing and mapping of physical plant components, systems and devices during the design process When BIS is specified and included in a site plan during the computer design process, the system integrator works closely with the project designers and management to assure that the physical equipment and supporting infrastructure are adequate, properly placed and correctly cost estimated. Early incorporation of AutoCAD design files into BIS means greater efficiency, safety and lower costs after construction is completed the files form the base for dynamic and animated location maps later used in BIS supervision and dispatch operations.
The operator sees multiple levels of a facility for quicker response and less guesswork. Full support of AutoCAD layer viewing, panning and zooming provides accurate and appropriate map views of the site plan, the physical assets within it and the ability to virtually inspect a remote site with point and click information access and control to all components, systems and devices within it. EXAMPLE: BIS in Denver senses a significant power fluctuation at a petroleum refinery in Philadelphia, immediately closing intake/output valves on active tanks temporarily and bringing backup power sources online as it notifies plant management. The Denver operator monitors progress on the BIS screen checking tank status panels and relaying information to the local site inspector. Tools for Personnel Management and Reporting The Bosch Building Integration System (BIS) includes a full range of personnel database management tools to support the everchanging requirements of security, facility and human resources. In addition to comprehensive access control, by defined areas and levels, BIS also integrates photo badging and pulls data from the personnel database to produce tokens and cards with the users images. This provides each building or area with improved security while affording greater efficiencies for the enterprise as a whole. Changes in user status, additions or deletions are instantly implemented, maintaining each site s integrity and safety.
