With the AspectFT control engine you are not limited to just one solution. As the Facilitating Technology (FT), this software platform is based upon open-standards used within multiple industries. Designed to perform control sequences and building management routines from an array of device platforms, AspectFT can communicate utilizing drivers such as BACnet®, MODbus®, and PUP. Through varying aspects of the software, users can scale their projects based on size as well as hardware, and still receive level of sophistication and control they expect.
Aspect also utilizes a full Java®-based foundation, providing both stability and reliability for logic and application projects designed within Aspect Studio, an integrated development environment for AspectFT- based products. With Java there is no need for special programming classes from the manufacturer to learn a proprietary programming language. For complex situations that require more than what AspectFT offers, users can utilize JavaScript™ to create custom sequences.

Key Features
AspectFT gives users the freedom of the internet, combined with the security and reliability of Linux and Java, and the familiarity of tools engineered by companies like Google™, Microsoft®, Apple®, and more!
Through this symbiosis you can now:
|
 |
Access one to virtually an infinite number of buildings via the internet using
standard web browsers such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and
Google Chrome™. With the right user credentials facility owners as well as installers can access
data, troubleshoot issues, and make updates from their home, their building, or from across
the globe.
|
 |
Schedule your building(s) through programs such as Microsoft Outlook®, Google Calendar™, Apple
iCal®, and any of over 40 other programs that utilize the iCalendar protocol. This means if you
schedule a room in your building for a meeting, a workday, or weekend occupancy, it can
be done without the need to access a proprietary scheduling tool. Don't worry, should your
building lose internet connectivity, the AspectFT will still maintain the last received
schedule until connectivity is restored and new changes are made.
|
 |
View building automation data from any Internet enabled mobile device (smart phone, tablet,
etc.) with simple mobile web. Using a mobile browser users can view building data from
anywhere at anytime, anywhere there is connectivity. (Available with AspectFT-Facility and AspectFT-Enterprise variants only.)
|
 |
Store and retrieve all building data from a MySQL or MSSQL database. This allows for data
to be mined easily and effectively through familiar programs like SAP® Crystal Reports and
Microsoft Excel®. With advanced audit trail functionality, reports can be generated to not only
show energy trends, but reasons for anomalies in the data as well as what user was responsible
for any changes made.
|
 |
Through RSS feed technology, receive real-time updates, alarms, set-points, energy data, and
any other pertinent information directly to your desktop, email account, smart phone, or smart
device. Through the reliability of RSS you have the ability to choose what third-party program
or device will receive the message. In addition, the Aspect Viewer widget is also available via
download. Once installed, a customizable widget will appear on your desktop displaying real-time building information.
|
 |
Receive building updates and information, as well as make changes to your building through the
networking site Twitter™. This is more than just a buzz word. With today's technology many smart
products come with a Twitter client. This means you can receive data on an array of devices,
including your DVR or TV! In addition, AspectFT can also receive tweets, allowing for simple
changes like set-point adjustment, light management, and occupancy override to be accomplished
from a smart phone, or device through a text command. (Functionality based on Twitter services and
security)
|
 |
Manage energy consumption with XPath. Data from XML tables can be integrated to create
more dedicated and automated control. For example: weather services from sites like Yahoo!®
Weather, and Weather.com can be utilized to manage building routines based on predicted
weather patterns. Services like Google Latitude™ can be used to let your building know when
you have entered or left the proximity of a building and automatically adjust set-points or
manage lighting.
