In the context of the "dual carbon" goal, the current efficient, low-carbon and intelligent development of urban buildings has become the general trend. However, the real implementation of smart buildings still faces many difficulties, such as a long industry chain and many participants, and each link is isolated from each other and lacks coordination.
On December 15, after the intelligent transformation of the new Jiangwan City office park of Shanghai Douyin Group, Midea Building Technology and Volcano Engine precipitated experience and deepened cooperation, and jointly held a first-class press conference to release Midea's iBuilding Volcano Engine to jointly create a smart park solution, and the integrated software and hardware integrated services of Midea Building Technology and the cloud technology base of Volcano Engine are deeply integrated, making the park a leading representative of green and low-carbon parks in China.
The complexity of the product system in the smart building and the fragmentation of the roles and responsibilities of the participants have also caused the delivery quality problems that are difficult to solve for the long-term intelligent building system in China. Smart parks are going through the process of moving from "single-point intelligence and single-scene intelligence" to "full-scenario intelligent management" based on cloud platform services, which requires powerful computing power to support the huge data in the building and realize the effective intelligent linkage of people, equipment, and space.
Edge cloud can provide faster and more reliable network connections and services, and is an important technical support for smart buildings that are "sensible, growing, and warm". In order to change the fragmentation of each component unit in the building and ensure flexibility and reliability, the smart campus solution jointly created by Midea Building Technology and Volcano Engine creates a smart campus solution with complementary capabilities, openness and integration, integration of software and hardware, and people-oriented through collaborative deployment and management of cloud and edge.
In this solution, Volcano Engine, as a cloud technology partner, provides cloud core technology base support from edge to cloud through the edge engine on-site edge and edge cloud, provides cloud technology facilities and computing power support for the end, to the cloud, and to the application, reduces the delay of data transmission and network congestion, and can realize the faster response of each application to user needs1 ms response delay;As a smart building partner, Midea Building Technology provides a comprehensive solution of "software and hardware integration" based on iBuilding based on the digital general contracting (DEPCO) model of smart buildings, covering the whole life cycle of buildings, all users, and the whole architecture of cloud edge ends, helping to realize the closed-loop value chain of the whole life cycle of smart parks.
In the process of intelligent construction of Douyin Group's Shanghai New Jiangwan City Office Park, Volcano Engine Edge Intelligence obtains building data in an all-round way through Internet of Things technology, deeply connects with Volcano Engine through the building digital platform of iBuilding, and integrates building automation BAS, communication automation CAS, fire automation FAS and other systems to achieve terminal, The connection from the edge to the cloud, combined with AI capabilities, intelligently controls building facilities, provides a digital operation tool system for Douyin Park, and provides a decision-making brain that integrates data and operation management.
The total construction area of the park is about 280,000 square meters, including office, commercial and other formats, with a total of 4 office buildings, which can support 16,000 employees for office and consumption. The two parties have jointly opened up 19 building subsystems in the park and built a "1+7" platform-to-application integrated smart park solution to serve practical scenarios such as office, operation, operation and maintenance, and security, bringing humanized smart office and green and efficient park management experience. Taking the smart parking management system as an example, through the cloud-edge-end integration of functions such as "one multi-vehicle, active sharing, and intelligent system recommendation", the utilization rate of parking space resources can be effectively maximized, and the utilization rate of parking spaces is expected to increase by 10%.
As an emerging industry, smart buildings are inseparable from the cooperation of upstream and downstream builders, operators, and cloud vendors to achieve rapid development. The joint co-creation of Midea Building Technology and Volcano Engine provides an innovative service model at the moment of rapid construction and development of smart parks, and can be quickly applied to the upgrading and construction of parks in all walks of life through the combination and superposition of the capabilities of "smart building partners" and "cloud technology partners" of both parties.
