LOGICAL LOGISTICS
Aimteq has completed the successful installation of a Schneider Building Management System ( BMS ) at a new £ 10.8 million Defence Logistics Centre for BAE Systems . The project , which was awarded to Aimteq by M & E contractor Murray Building Services , provides easy and precise control of functions such as domestic hot water ( DHW ), radiant heating and the site ’ s cold store for the storage of carbon fibre material .
BAE Systems ’ new 165,000 sq ft Defence Logistics Centre sits adjacent to the company ’ s engineering and manufacturing facility at Samlesbury in Lancashire . Occupied and operated by logistics specialist Wincanton , the facility accommodates a 150-strong workforce . Aimteq ’ s proposed solution was based on the Schneider SmartStruxure enterprise system as it matches the existing site-installed BMS system across the estate . SmartStruxure combines proven building management software with hardware innovation to connect everything from sensors to services over one IP backbone . The end result lets users monitor , measure and optimise building performance throughout its life cycle . Aimteq custombranded the interface for BAE Systems .
BMS functionality at the new site principally relates to HVAC control and monitoring in both the warehouse and single-storey office areas ( gas radiant heating ), as well as destratification fans , DHW control , heat recovery units , electric panel heaters and MODBUS metering . In terms of system configuration , two panels were built by Aimteq for the offices and warehouse containing Schneider SmartX AS-P controllers and I / O modules , as well as touchscreen tablet displays . The BMS , which is also connected to the main site-wide Schneider system via IP network , offers viewing from the SmartStruxure front end complete with Aimteq-designed graphics .
User training was provided by Aimteq to Wincanton staff on familiarisation of the system , which was completed in October 2016 .
