Schneider Electric has launched the Transparent Building Integrated Systems (T-BIS) which delivers an holistic and convergent approach to the provision of advanced and intelligent systems.

Called the Transparent Building Integrated Systems (T-BIS) offer, it is unique in the building automation industry No other provider - and certainly no other manufacturer - can deliver the breadth and wealth of equipment, networking, software and expertise available from T-BIS

The business is headed by Harvey Dunham Director of Building Systems and Solutions and managed by Guy Madgwick, former General Manager of Clipsal Integrated Systems for two years leading up to the purchase of Clipsal by Schneider Electric in December 2003.

Richard Hipkiss joins as Marketing Manager from his previous position supporting Schneider Electric's Automation Products.

A team of 28 people has been assigned initially to the T-BIS offer.

Essentially, T-BIS brings together a group of Schneider Electric experts capable of developing and supporting intelligent building solutions while at the same time having the direct access, as the manufacturer, to the most advanced equipment to enable those solutions.

The T-BIS offer is particularly compelling since the equipment used is already highly regarded within the building automation segment.

This comprises the product sets of Schneider Electric brands, Merlin Gerin, Telemecanique and Clipsal Integrated Systems.

Complementing these product ranges is robust and flexible networking capabilities and advanced software.

A further distinction of the T-BIS offer is the unrivalled energy efficiency offered by the Schneider Electric product ranges - including Altivar energy saving AC drives and the PowerLogic energy management software.

For integration, Schneider Electric's state of the art networking and communications expertise - proven in the most demanding of industrial arenas as well as within the built environment - means that T-BIS can rightly claim leadership in the provision and implementation of intelligent building networks.

The overwhelming majority of building automation vendors have entered the market from a single platform of expertise, be it lighting, security or HVAC.

In truth, these vendors may have excellent solutions within their specific competency, but present severe compromise in all other areas of the automation system.

Schneider Electric suffers none of these compromises.

As a result, Schneider Electric's T-BIS is the best equipped, best qualified, most capable and most experienced total intelligent building provider.

In short, T-BIS is the perfect partner for architects, building services firms, contractors, FM service companies and end users.
