This smart solution offers a dual approach – AC Smart Cloud, designed to be used by business owners and facilities or energy managers for remote control, reporting and scheduling; and AC Service Cloud, an ideal solution for HVAC professionals requiring remote access to a system for maintenance and monitoring purposes. Easy to install and with a simple, user-friendly interface, the Smart Multisite Control Solution is ideal for organisations who need instant and comprehensive data of a building or campus-wide (or even a global overview) of HVAC systems. It allows users complete control of all their installations, wherever they are.
With a simple click, authorised users can access all Panasonic heating and cooling units from several locations, and receive status updates in real-time, preventing costly breakdowns, optimising energy use and reducing expenses. AC Smart Cloud The advanced AC Smart Cloud is the ideal solution for full remote control of business premises, 24/7, and can be simply managed from a tablet or computer with internet connection. By optimising the HVAC systems operation in this way, it is possible to extend the life of units thanks to status updates and preventive maintenance, ensuring a positive return on investment.

increased comfort of workers and visitors/customers, boosting satisfaction and productivity by enabling a welcoming environment. Including a wealth of benefits, the AC Smart Cloud allows complete management of the settings, the ability to fix yearly scheduling, set up energy saving modes, see statistics, permit tailored access to different users and more. AC Service Cloud The brand new solution for HVAC professionals, service and maintenance companies, Panasonic’s AC Service Cloud is a unique tool that provides advanced remote service capabilities of multiple sites. For successful maintenance and service, response time is critical. With the help of the AC Service Cloud, the entire service parameters of the HVAC systems are available, in real-time, showing any abnormalities, allowing issues to be identified and swiftly resolved, often before the fault even occurs. This smart approach can also reduce the number (and length) of site visits necessary by analysing the behaviour of the AC system remotely and allowing for the optimum allocation of resources. Systems are continuously monitored in intervals of 15 minutes to ensure any malfunctions are swiftly noticed. Any abnormal data is detected and reported automatically – it requires no action by professional users for the ultimate ease. All data can be simply found on the AC Service Cloud’s home screen, and a history of data can be recorded for up to two weeks. Data is visually shown on the home screen with colours and shapes so it can be identified at a quick glance. Contact: Panasonic Ireland. Orlaith Gillen.
