DALLAS, Feb. 21, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T* and
Carrier®, part of UTC Climate, Controls & Security,
a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), are announcing the
addition of AT&T wireless connectivity on commercial HVAC
equipment with Carrier® SMART Service, a remote
connectivity and advanced analytics solution. This new offering
uses the AT&T network to help collect and analyze chiller
operating performance to deliver pre-emptive service solutions.
The data collected through AT&T IoT technology can reveal
operating trends and provide a more complete understanding of the
health of the chiller. Depending on the results, Carrier SMART
Service can then provide recommendations for service, repairs or
system modifications. This collaboration will provide
facility managers the capability to make more informed maintenance
decisions so that service and repairs are only preformed when
needed – often before an issue arises.
Carrier SMART Service will use AT&T IoT technology to help
improve oversight of chiller energy and maintenance expenses. The
AT&T Global SIM card and IoT Services, like Control Center,
allow for near real-time access to data directly from the chiller.
This persistent and reliable service helps Carrier customers have
the peace of mind to know whether their equipment is running at
optimal levels.
Carrier customers' benefits include:
- Early detection of an issue. This means faster
resolution.
- Better energy management. This improves ownership
costs.
- Proactive maintenance. This corrects minor problems
before they lead to more complex and expensive repairs.
"IoT technology optimizes equipment management," said
Chris Opie, director of marketing
North America, Carrier Commercial
Systems. "The secure AT&T network gives our customers valuable
information. It helps them better manage their equipment and
facility – saving them time and money, while delivering on our
commitment to provide the most innovative and efficient service
offerings."
Carrier SMART Service is available in the United States with AquaEdge®
water-cooled chillers with product integrated controls. It is also
portable, which means facility managers and building owners can use
the technology on a temporary basis to troubleshoot, diagnose
issues and provide service recommendations.
"IoT solutions offer enhanced visibility and awareness, which
can be a huge benefit for businesses. Our work with Carrier will
provide valuable insights that can help strengthen their customer
relationships," said Joe Mosele,
vice president, Internet of Things Solutions, AT&T.
