Global Chemical Manufacturer

Facility managers at a global chemical manufacturer were frustrated by delayed provider responses for building automation system maintenance and repairs and sought timely solutions at their South Texas research and technology center. TD’s experience with open system building automation and high-quality customer service made for an ideal new partnership. With their technical knowledge, the TD team converted the existing Metasys closed system to a Niagara open system. TD readdressed all default controllers and devices, ensuring proper programming transfer across the network automation engine. These devices include terminal units like fan power boxes, air handling units, chillers, boilers and ductless variable refrigerant flow systems.

As one of only two global research and technology centers for this manufacturer, productivity at the South Texas location's active laboratories could not be disrupted. TD maintained clear communication and a safe working environment for employees and products. With TD’s new interface on the open system, this South Texas location now has real-time information and visibility of energy consumption, fault detection and diagnostics. This customizable software helps streamline processes and provides tools to better understand and respond to internal customers faster. Building on proven success, TD expanded its partnership with this manufacturer in 2021 to include controls and facility services for a West Texas administration building and a central plant at its chemical manufacturing facility.
