Johnson Controls Building Technologies & Solutions is making the world safer, smarter and more sustainable – one building at a time. Their technology portfolio integrates every aspect of a building – whether security systems, energy management, fire protection or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) – to ensure that they exceed customer expectations at all times. Johnson Controls Building Technologies & Solutions operate in more than 150 countries through an unmatched network of branches and distribution channels, helping building owners, operators, engineers and contractors enhance the full lifecycle of any facility.

The latest Metasys release enhances team productivity, reduces risk, and increases building efficiency. It was designed to help identify and solve issues and prevent unauthorized access. It provides a flexible modernization path to existing Metasys customers with aging installations.

Metasys 11.0 features and enhancements include the all-new Fault Detection and Fault Triage suite, new models of the next-generation hardware like the new SNC supervisory controller with onboard display, and cybersecurity enhancements to help prevent unauthorized access, like FIPS 140-2 Level 1 Compliance.

“We are happy to see the official launch of Metasys 11, which integrates GraphDB. It’s fascinating to see that our technology contributes to the improvement of efficiency and comfort of thousands of buildings all over the globe. During the last couple of years, we see booming adoption of semantic graph databases in manufacturing and industry. The typical applications include configuration management, IT inventory, process automation and technical knowledge management. Many of the leaders in this space already use GraphDB to manage big volumes of business-critical information in production – all the way from the biggest car and airplane manufacturers to NASA and national energy system operators.”
