Why Are Graphics So Beneficial to BAS Users?
Detailed graphics give the building operators accurate visuals, which
allows them to easily navigate and manage the mechanical systems.
This frees up time so they can focus on core competencies instead,
thus creating a higher return on investment.
✓ Save your company time and money
✓ Navigate the space with ease and direction
✓ Pinpoint the location of duct work and lighting
✓ Map room temperatures, alarms, CO2, or humidity sensors to give
the end user control of the building
✓ Monitor complicated systems and be able to quickly locate
problem areas

Read JBS Services’ story on how they found a strategic
partner in QA Graphics when being awarded the largest North
American Schneider StruxureWare EcoStructure Project
QA Graphics, an outsourcing leader in the building automation
system (BAS) industry and an expert in control manufacture software,
has been providing first-rate graphic design services to companies
over the last eleven years. This has led to working with JBS services
on the largest North American project to date using Schneider
Electric StruxureWare.
QA Graphics began their relationship with JBS Services when they
were hired to work on a smaller project for the same district. Now,
the contract has grown to an additional 204 buildings. When asked
about this project and its unique aspects, JBS Services Director Ben
O’Rourke said,
“JBS Services was awarded a UNC upgrade project in
May 2017. This project has strict timelines, quality control,
and budget expectations. Strategic partnering was of vital
importance to meet the demands of such a large project. JBS
found such a strategic partner in QA Graphics—professional,
strong, knowledgeable staff, great communicators, and
competitively priced. JBS made the right decision awarding
this project to QA Graphics—the job is on time, within budget,
and of the highest quality.

Largest North American Schneider
StruxureWare EcoStructure Project
Save Time & Money
QA Graphics started developing
the project’s standard by using
Schneider Electric StruxureWare, then
proceeded with the BAS graphics
and 3D floor plans. With VPN access,
they’re able to quickly map live
data points for these graphics to
the database for each building. The
efforts provided by QA Graphics to
standardize the process has allowed
JBS Services’ control technicians
to focus on core competencies,
saving JBS Services time and money,
thus creating a higher return on
investment for this project. When
asked about this process, QA
Graphics’ BAS Graphics Manager Ben
Hansen said,
“
Having live access to the
buildings, while not necessary,
has been a major asset for this
large of project. It allows for
instantaneous updates and
ease of mapping the points.
