With onework GUARD. All-round protection, monitored at all times.

Building automation does not end with the control system. During operation, it is crucial how quickly faults are detected, understood and rectified. This is exactly why onework GUARD was developed. As a cloud-based fault message management system for KNX bus systems, the solution monitors devices and data points as required, visualizes system statuses and makes faults transparent. This reduces response times and noticeably improves operational reliability.

 

Detect faults before they become a problem.

onework GUARD works with predefined and individually configurable alarm rules. This allows different types of alarms to be mapped in a targeted manner and those responsible to be informed at an early stage. This replaces long manual reporting chains with clearly defined response paths. For operators, this is a direct lever for limiting failures more quickly and reducing follow-up costs.

 

Visualization creates transparency.

Visualization is a major added value of onework GUARD. The system maps the KNX building as a digital twin and makes it possible to see which device currently has which status and where faults are occurring. The result is not an abstract alarm stream, but a reliable basis for analysis and prioritization.

 

Faster fault clearance, more efficient operation.

onework GUARD shows correlations between devices and data points and thus supports rapid root cause analysis. This not only facilitates fault clearance, but also improves the overall operation of the building. Energy losses can be reduced, comfort problems can be rectified more quickly and quality of stay can be ensured in a targeted manner.

 

Main advantages of
onework GUARD:

  • Cloud-based fault message management for KNX bus systems

  • Needs-based monitoring of devices and data points

  • Pre-definable and individually customizable alarm rules

  • Visualization of system statuses and faults as a digital twin

  • Faster analysis, troubleshooting and optimization of building operation

 

Conclusion:

More transparency for stable building operation.
With onework GUARD, reactive fault processing becomes a structured, predictive operating approach. This creates more security, shorter response times and better performance during operation.
