GF Hycleen Automation System - Cloud Control

GF Hycleen Automation System

Thermal balance is one of the most important processes for drinking water in Domestic Hot Water installations.

It consists of equitably distributing water flows and distributing them according to needs, with continuous monitoring of temperatures throughout the building. In addition, this technology has proven to be able to reduce energy consumption and increase comfort. .

The Hycleen automation system continuously manages and maintains the thermal balancing process in a highly effective and efficient manner. This comprehensive solution combines digitalized sensors and valves connected to a central controller, the "master". The master automatically monitors and optimizes thermal balance on a daily basis. This innovative system combats critical risk factors in even the most complex installations, guarantees an optimal level of hygiene, helps comply with current legislation and even offers remote maintenance and control functions. , cloud-based and centrally controlled.

"We found a viable solution with the akenza platform that allowed us to connect the product to our cloud environment while respecting our strict time constraints."

Connect the Hycleen AS in just 4 months...

In collaboration with akenza, this modernization project was completed in a record time of just 4 months. With a simple firmware update of the master device and thanks to akenza's IoT application enablement platform, it was possible to connect the Hycleen AS to the cloud via MQTT without the need for additional hardware development.

The master device connects to the akenza platform and creates its digital twin. The master device is directly connected to the Internet with an MQTT protocol, which is responsible for two-way communication of the uplinks and downlinks.

Product Update Results...

The upgrade to the new Hycleen Connect integrated system offers an easy-to-use remote asset management platform, supporting all the functions of the previous system, such as optimizing user comfort, saving energy through hydraulic balancing and reducing hygiene risks (reduction of the risk of legionellosis), but also offers new possibilities:

Remote Monitoring: Building managers have access to a centralized point to operate different buildings and coordinate maintenance services.

Cost reduction: Optimisation of maintenance processes leads to a reduction in costs.

Data accessibility: Available data facilitate documentation of conditions for public health authorities.

Reaction time: The activation of immediate alarms, based on the data recorded by the system, allows any problem or error within the system to be quickly corrected.
