What was the brief?
The Lubrizol site had three existing AMX systems that had been in place for a significant amount of time. The graphics programming on these systems was outdated and not up to the standard required. The customer requested an update to the graphics to align them with the more modern systems used at their other sites. The objective was to enhance usability and ensure consistency across all Lubrizol locations, providing a more streamlined and efficient user experience.
What were the challenges?
Ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the drawings and panel configuration files was a critical challenge. These elements needed to be meticulously matched to facilitate the swift and efficient design of the updated graphics programming. Any discrepancies between the drawings and the actual panel configurations could result in significant delays and potential errors in the graphics update. The project required precise coordination and validation of all configuration data to ensure the new graphics met the high standards expected by the customer and aligned seamlessly with their other sites.
What was the solution?
The solution involved updating the AMX programming with 3D zonal layouts and up-to-date mapping of each system device.
This comprehensive update ensured that the graphics were not only visually aligned with Lubrizol’s other sites but also enhanced functionality and ease of use. The 3D zonal layouts provided a more intuitive visual representation of the site’s fire alarm systems, allowing for quicker identification and response to any issues. Additionally, the updated mapping ensured that all system devices were accurately represented, facilitating better monitoring and management of the fire alarm systems. This approach improved operational efficiency and ensured the system met modern standards and user expectations.
