Project Haystack

The place for the Project Haystack community to network, share, create synergy, and generate business opportunities.

Haystack Connect 2023—organized and produced by the Project Haystack Organization—provides a unique, open-forum for professionals involved in automation, control and the Internet of Things to learn and share the latest technologies and techniques for connecting systems and utilizing device data in applications including intelligent buildings, energy management, remote monitoring, and other IoT devices and applications.

The two-and-a-half-day long conference includes keynote presentations, a vendor exhibition hall, and a packed schedule of technical sessions covering data acquisition, communications, protocol translation, data visualization, analytics, data semantics, modeling and security—all critical technologies essential to using operational data to drive improved performance.

The building automation system marketplace is going through a rapid wave of digitalization, and demand is increasing as end users and owner/operators increasingly focus on sustainability related issues like reducing energy consumption, net zero emissions, and preserving the health and safety of personnel.

The building automation system marketplace is going through a rapid wave of digitalization, and demand is increasing as end users and owner/operators increasingly focus on sustainability related issues like reducing energy consumption, net zero emissions, and preserving the health and safety of personnel. Many old BAS systems will have to be modernized to reach these goals, and the new wave of digitized and IoT-based building automation solutions is making it possible for end users to modernize legacy assets and make them part of a single, unified system with a single pane of glass for visualization, reporting, engineering, maintenance, and other functions. This session will discuss successful end user implementations of the new generation of building automation systems including justification based on sustainability-related metrics and KPIs.

Driving Sustainability, Energy Transition, and Performance through Digitalization

Join us at the 27th Annual ARC Industry Forum February 6 - 9, 2023, to speed up your digitalization, sustainability and energy transition initiatives with strategies and stories from your peers.  

We need to act fast. Despite progress, digital transformation is still very much a work in progress in industrial companies. Yet, the next wave of disruption is already cresting into industrial markets that are still dealing with pandemic-induced supply chain fragility and workforce shortages, exacerbated by global geopolitical conflict that we thought was a thing of the past.  This next one ― climate change ― might be the biggest disruptor of them all. We are in a critical time of action. 

Richmond, VA – January 17, 2023 – The Project Haystack Organization (www.project-haystack.org), a 501(c) non-profit organization focused on developing common standards to streamline the interchange and interoperability of data among IoT devices, smart equipment and systems, has announced the dates and venue for its Haystack Connect 2023 Conference.

We are excited to announce that the Spring 2023 Connections Magazine is in development and we are issuing a Call for Contributed Articles from the community providing Haystack-compatible products and solutions around the world. It is scheduled to be published in March 2023. Connections Magazine, published bi-annually, documents how the Project Haystack community is applying or implementing the Haystack Tagging methodology in the building and facilities management industry. Facility owners, operators, managers and service companies recognize that a standardized approach to semantic data modeling is key to overcoming the hurdles related to effectively using the data produced by the built environment.

AHR Expo - Educational Session

February 6, 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm

Location: B309

Speakers: Alexander Rohweder and Richard McElhinney, Project Haystack 

Data has never been more at the forefront within our built environment than today. Its role in managing and operating our buildings and facilities is no longer a nice to have but rather it is a must-have.

This session looks at the latest with Haystack 4, highlights some of the organization’s working group’s latest initiatives, and profiles two recent use cases where Haystack was an integral part of delivering outcomes. Furthermore, the session will provide guidance on how to make new and legacy products, systems, and applications off-the-shelf Haystack compatible; and how to leverage the available open-source libraries and documentation for that.

Today, we are proud to announce a new Associate Member company has joined the organization. Please join us in welcoming Nanjing Chinwell Technology Co. Ltd. to our mission of expanding the standards for semantic modeling methodology and building on the tagging libraries for more and more applications. Nanjing Chinwell Technology Co. Ltd. is based in the Jiangsu Province of China.

Nanjing Chinwell Technology Co. Ltd. is offering an asset operations management solution, "BuildingOS/and Carbon Cloud", that provides every building maintenance and energy conservation service team with the tools and information they need to operate more efficiently.
