14 October 2022
Carrier announced the release of Abound Predictive Insights, a part of the Abound suite of solutions that helps reduce the total cost of asset ownership by enabling smarter, more predictive maintenance to optimize equipment health and performance. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, implementing a functional predictive maintenance program can reduce equipment breakdowns by 70% to 75%, reduce maintenance costs by 25% to 30% and reduce downtime by 35% to 45%.
Abound Predictive Insights connects to HVAC and building automation assets through any BACnet-enabled building automation system (BAS), including Carrier’s i-Vu and Automated Logic’s . HVAC assets of all types are supported, from chillers to rooftop units, and air handlers to variable air volume boxes, unit heaters, heat pumps, fan coil units and air conditioners. Supported building assets include refrigerated cases and walk-in freezers. Supported building automation assets include BAS servers, controllers and routers.
The BAS sends data from connected assets to Carrier’s award-winning CORTIX artificial intelligence (AI) platform for analysis, providing local Carrier and Automated Logic controls experts with predictive, actionable insights into the health of the assets via a mobile app. The app provides a detailed list of findings, including impending failures and maintenance issues, along with possible causes, impacts and suggested corrective actions.
The information is also available as a report for local experts to advise building owners and facility professionals on the findings and recommendations. Local experts may recommend remote diagnostics and resolutions to correct the issues, while certain situations require a technician be dispatched to tune, repair or replace components.
Abound Predictive Insights is designed to get smarter with time. As insights are reported, Carrier experts validate the accuracies of the causes, impacts and recommendations to provide feedback to the CORTIX AI platform, improving future analytics.
Abound Predictive Insights is backed by Carrier BluEdge Command Centers around the world. Carrier engineers, analysts and specialists are standing by to help local experts interpret equipment data, and to assist with the implementation of proactive maintenance and optimization strategies. These strategies can be deployed remotely by the BluEdge Command Center.
