Probably your largest expenses after payroll are your utility bills. Every successful hotel watches labor, but both items can be controlled. A determined manager may get good results initially, but human nature being what it is those results won’t last. A building automation system will give consistent long term performance - endlessly gathering up the wasted pennies here and there – which by the end of a month will make a sizable amount, all to the bottom line.

Centralized real-time control of your hotel mechanical systems is essential to get the most out of your equipment and your investment. SCS’s Powerline Carrier Technology is a proven way to get cost effective monitoring and control of your property without the expense and disruption of wiring your hotel while giving far more performance than stand alone sensor type devices.

Direct interface with the front office systems gives fully automated rooms control and meeting rooms or public areas can be scheduled to operate as needed - saving not only the cost of unnecessary operation, but adding years to the life of your equipment by eliminating hour after hour of wasted runtime.

POWER LINE CARRIER DRASTICALLY REDUCES COST

Any energy management system should eventually save money on utility bills. Power Line Carrier (PLC) can help you save money immediately on the installation. Direct wiring to and from the load is expensive and sometimes not feasible. With this PLC equipment you can transmit commands to the loads and get data back from sensors over existing building wiring. This eliminates the cost and bother of running new wires. Both versatile and proven effective, this equipment can simplify installation and offer immediate savings.

Illustrated here are some loads which can be controlled and some remote equipment from which data can be monitored using Functional Devices' PLC components.
