The Project Haystack organizations is pleased to announce the publication of the January 2022 Connections Magazine! This issue of Connections Magazine reports on the latest activities submitted by the Project Haystack community from around the world, looking at how this community-driven, open-source standard is adding meaning to the vast amount of device data produced by smart devices. Project Haystack provides a comprehensive, open standard for semantic tagging of data that has been embraced worldwide. As the world moves towards becoming more and more data-driven, the theme of this issue is: Data. Our New Asset.

The Role of Data in Achieving Smarter Buildings: Making Data Interoperable with Project Haystack!

John Petze, Executive Director and Marc Petock, Executive Secretary of Project Haystack discuss the use of semantic tagging and its key role in data interoperability across different systems and applications. Determining what data is relevant, how to standardize and streamline it to unlock the data’s true value, and how it enables a true transformation on the way we manage and operate buildings. The presentation will also provide an update on the latest work of the Project Haystack organization.

Desigo Optic is built on Haystack 4, which offers a standardized tagging model that helps simplify the data, leading to more powerful results.

Desigo Optic, powered by FIN Framework, provides a highly-efficient building automation solution with enhanced integration across numerous third-party systems. With Project Haystack semantic data models and tagging features, Desigo Optic offers better workflows for integration, creation of graphics, trend analysis and overall building management. Built for small to medium-sized buildings, but scalable to grow with the building and property portfolio’s needs.

On behalf of Project Haystack, Richard McElhinney will be participating in the Data Tagging Workshop during the Big Data and Analytics Forum 2021, online July 22, 2021. To attend, visit: www.airah.org.au/BigData. To learn more about the Data Tagging Workshop visit: https://lnkd.in/g5K7-FM.

Founded in 2011, Project Haystack is an open source initiative to streamline working with IoT data, helping the industry turn operational data into actionable information. Used across millions of square feet of real estate and thousands of facilities, Haystack standardizes semantic data models and web services with the goal of making it easier to unlock value from the vast quantity of information being generated by the smart devices that permeate our homes, buildings, factories, and cities. 

This week, Realcomm Live welcomes founding members of Project Haystack, John Petze and Marc Petock to discuss where the industry is today with smart building data standards for applications such as automation, control, energy, HVAC, lighting, and other environmental systems, as well as the importance of data interoperability.
