REAL-WORLD APPLICATION

Integrate BMS and EPMS into a single platform

Streamline your data center management by combining your BMS and EPMS into a single, integrated platform. The result? Unified control, deeper insights on dependencies and patterns, better resource efficiency - and a simpler way to improve efficiency, energy use, and resilience.

Challenge

Data center infrastructure is tightly interconnected, yet Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) often operate separately. Switching between fragmented platforms limits visibility, slows response times, and makes it harder to detect correlations across systems, increasing operational complexity. ​

Solution

Integrating BMS and EPMS into a single platform creates a unified operational environment for your data center. Operators can monitor mechanical and electrical systems in one interface, gain a clearer, real-time understanding of how infrastructure systems interact - improving efficiency, energy use, and resilience across the facility.​

Gain a holistic view of your infrastructure​

An integrated BMS-EPMS platform consolidates operational data from across the data center into one environment. Operators can monitor power distribution, cooling performance, environmental conditions, and alarms in real time. Correlating data across systems reveals patterns and dependencies that remain hidden in isolated platforms - for example, how power consumption impacts cooling demand. This deeper visibility helps teams detect anomalies earlier, optimize operations, and maintain a stable environment for critical IT infrastructure.​

In addition, the EPMS detects millisecond-level electrical events, far faster than BMS alone, highlighting the speed gap and need for integration for fast responses.

Reduce costs​

Staff onboarding is 30% faster, and operational andenergy costs are lower. Unified software licensing andsimplified lifecycle management also lower total cost ofownership.​

Unify view and control​

Monitor power, cooling, and environmental conditions froma single interface. You can remove silos in maintenanceteams, eliminate blind spots, speed up fault response, andempower teams to manage infrastructure holistically. ​

Improve with cross-system analytics​

Analyze data across infrastructure domains to identify patterns, optimize performance, improve energy efficiency. Integration unlocks faster detection of anomalies that would be missed by separate systems.​

Streamline operations​

Simplify daily operations and reduce training effort by providing teams with one consistent user interface and workflow. Troubleshooting and workflows are simplified, reducing errors and response times.​

Support compliance​

Operators can monitor key metrics and quickly identify deviations from ISO 50001, SS564, and Green Mark standards.​

CASE STUDY

Power quality recorders connected to the BMS​

Company: Greenergy Data Centers

Location: Estonia

Siemens solutions: Integrated BMS-EPMS, power quality, white space cooling optimization (WSCO), low voltage power distribution​​

With their own 110 kV substation feeding power directly from the grid, Greenergy Data Centers implemented an integrated BMS–EPMS platform to monitor their power quality across HV/MV, LV, UPS, and third-party devices. The EPMS is connected to the network provided by their customers, and it all communicates with the BMS system. ​

Siemens provided not only the necessary hardware and software, but also the technical solution consulting throughout the project. Learn more!
