Objectives
A global leader in building technology, software, and services was developing valve controllers that are part of a complete system for patient rooms, operating suites and clean rooms in healthcare and laboratory settings.
During testing, they found that their standard valve controller was not close to meeting the required performance specifications. They attempted to use a COTS product, however the cost of the solution was over budget and it did not accept the 24VAC power supply required.
To meet the cost and product requirements, they needed a custom solution and Synergy Logic was selected to develop the custom controller.
