KTC

Automation and digitalisation of buildings

KTC offers in-building products and cloud services to enable property owners to have full control over their properties and the ability to optimise operations, monitoring, energy tracking, control and metering.

 

KTC works on the automation and digitalisation of buildings. They develop new solutions for intelligent energy optimisation to offer smart tools and services for managing the energy consumption of buildings in a more cost-effective and climate-smart way.

 

IMC - web-based management system

Through a powerful integration product, the IMC web server, KTC ensures that the various systems in the property can talk to each other. With functions for controlling, regulating and monitoring all heating, cooling and ventilation installations, an integrated system is created in the property. It is important to collect and process data methodically and to make the functions of all systems work together as a whole.

IMC has protocol support for SRD-Link, ModBus (master/slave) and M-Bus master, all over TCP/IP. The product also has a built-in local web server with support for monitoring images of the operation.

 

Robust hardware for continuous operation

For the new version of hardware for the IMC, a more powerful, high-quality hardware was needed that could withstand continuous operation in the buildings' sub-centres where temperatures can be higher than normal. The product would also be able to be mounted on DIN rail in a standardised enclosure. With more powerful hardware, the IMC product could really be used to its full potential with a variety of integrated systems and operating scenarios.

DA-1000 from Cincoze

ACTE Solutions proposed a DA-1000 from Cincoze as the hardware platform. It is a very affordable and robust embedded computer used by many of our customers in projects with tough requirements. The product was pre-installed with Windows 10 IoT and here ACTE Solutions has helped KTC to replace their previous Linux hardware.

The first units have been tested and it went very well and the new version of IMC has been launched and the interest has been very high in the market. The new version has worked well and even previously installed devices have now been replaced with the new one.
