Impact of new IoT technologies for diagnostics and maintenance purposes in buildings

Abstract

New technologies are having an ever-greater influence on maintenance and diagnostic applications in technical building equipment. The networking of many sensors for the detection of ambient and operating conditions via the Internet of Things [IoT] has here an important role to play. Safety-critical systems therefore also form an important use case. This paper will present the influence of new IoT-based technologies on maintenance and diagnostic applications in safety-critical systems of buildings. Fire alarm systems [FAS] are used as an example to analyse and illustrate the mentioned impact. Possible opportunities and risks of the new technologies are highlighted.
