Tridium, Inc. and FAMCO LIGHTING
PTY LTD Announce an OEM Agreement to integrate the
MasterMinder® Emergency Lighting Monitoring
and Testing System with the Niagara Framework
Richmond, VA June 2005 - Tridium®,
Inc. a leader in integration technologies, and FAMCO
LIGHTING®, a market-leading global brand of
HPM Industries, the Australian Electrical Group.
As part of the agreement, FAMCO LIGHTING will
utilize Tridium's Niagara Framework® for its
latest web-enabled MasterMinder® Emergency Lighting
Control. A key feature for FAMCO and Tridium
is that the MasterMinder® system will be web
enabled and also have a BACNet, LON or Modbus interfaces
via the Niagara Framework. The browser-based application
will provide a simple user friendly interface for
configuring and testing the FAMCO Emergency Lighting
systems, Alarm Management and optional notifications
via pagers, sms, e-mail etc., and the storing of
the tests results into a secure database for retrieval
analysis and Health and Safety compliance reports.
A special pre-configured MasterMinder®
web-page module will allow installers to configure
lighting systems through a browser, significantly
reducing delivery time and simplifying configuration.
Optional interface via the Niagara Framework will
allow End Users, Contractors and Consulting Engineers
to design and specify open and integrated enterprise
building solutions to better suit users needs. "We
are very excited to announce this relationship as
it will position FAMCO LIGHTING at the forefront
of technology," said Robert Lewit, General Manager
FAMCO LIGHTING. "The Niagara Framework with
the Quickstart configuration will enable customers
to immediately see the benefits of web-enabling
their lighting and electrical distribution systems.
Systems integrators will appreciate a pre-built
application that significantly reduces integration
costs while assuring a trouble-free installation".
As part of the agreement, Tridium
will assist FAMCO LIGHTING in the development of
the application, which will run on a private labeled
hardware platform developed by Tridium. "The
MasterMinder® configuration is a great example
of how organizations can utilize the Niagara Framework
toolset to simplify product development", said Martin
Hodder, Tridium VP, Asia pacific Sales. "We
welcome FAMCO LIGHTING to the Niagara Appliance
program and we applaud their vision and quick response
to a market opportunity."
