CNS has evolved into a specialist supplier of M2M, Convergent, CCRE solutions for 21st Century buildings to the global market. It brings together in a seamless manner the world of ICT and Building Management, Building Automation systems or as we more openly describe it “Building Facilities sub-systems”. We create Smart Products and Solutions combining hardware, software and Open/Defacto Standards communication protocols. This allows connectivity of any intelligent device in the building with any other as well as enabling the exchanging of value data between the building facilities sub systems and devices with the clients’ business and enterprise applications.
Initial work has seen CNS adopt the Niagara AX® platform from Tridium Inc. as the convergent platform technology of choice to deliver our Smart Products and Solutions. CNS has been a Certified Niagara AX product developer and Tridium Partner since 2005.
Our first Smart off-the-shelf product was called eLighting™ for Niagara AX® launched in June 2008.
It enabled the global network of Niagara AX System Integrators, Distributors and OEM’s to deliver DALI lighting solutions as part of their product and services offering.
Now networks of DALI® intelligent lamps (ballasts and inverters) could be directly connected to a Niagara AX building management or automation systems, commissioned, controlled and managed from within the Niagara AX web environment.
This established eLighting™ as the world’s most vendor idependent web enabled DALI® lighting commissioning, control, maintenance and management system. Now into its third generation elitedali™ Multidrop for Niagara AX® is the basis of our next generation of our converged web based Niagara AX® lighting solutions for DALI®.
