Is Siemens Changing the Smart Building Controls Game?

Not just Siemens, but Distech/ Acuity and Johnson Controls seem to be refining a strategy that has been around for a long time — building your business through acquisitions. Just back from the Siemens Partner meeting the team at Stromquist & Company and DMS Controls, including Kenny, are very excited about what they saw.

Part of what Ken and I do on ControlTrends is talking about and identify emerging patterns or trends in smart building controls. On this weeks episode, we discuss how Siemens and other vendors are buying companies and bundling their offerings in unique ways that we believe can create more value and change the Smart building Controls game. If you haven't already check out this weeks episode of Control Talk Now, we break down what we are seeing and would love for you to listen and join the conversation.

Here's what to listen for on Episode 303:

* How Siemens is buying companies and bundling smart building controls solutions to change the DDC and Building Automation Controls World

* How Total Room Control will replace individual controllers like thermostats or vav controllers

* How PENN Controls is changing refrigeration controls by making them networkable

* How Johnson Controls and PENN will work together to make PENN controls information available through the Johnson Controls BAS systems

* What the man, the myth, the legend got his wife for Valentines Day and much, much more!
