New from Johnson Controls is Metasys 16.0, with new capabilities designed to help customers reduce downtime risk, strengthen cybersecurity and bring systems online faster across complex environments.
“The environments our customers operate in are more complex than ever, and expectations for performance continue to rise,” said M. Faisal Pandit, president, Building Management Systems, Johnson Controls. “Even brief disruptions can impact operations, productivity and outcomes. Customers need a building automation system that is secure, resilient, and simple to deploy and scale. With Metasys 16.0, Johnson Controls brings this together in a single platform, helping customers maintain continuous operations, reduce risk and adapt as their needs evolve.”
A wave of scientific advances—from artificial intelligence to biotechnology to advanced manufacturing—is now moving rapidly into large-scale deployment. These industries require precise, reliable operating environments, elevating building performance from a supporting role to essential for business success. Thermal management is now central to how systems perform and scale, and digitally enabled life cycle services are critical to maintaining uptime, protecting high-value assets and delivering consistent outcomes.
Metasys 16.0 responds to the performance needs of these high-growth industries, enabling faster deployment, more autonomous operations, and connected, resilient platforms built for environments where performance cannot fail.
New features include:
- Stronger cybersecurity:Safeguards operations with protections aligned with IEC 62443-4-2 Security Level 2, reducing risk and supporting evolving requirements. “Fast Track” upgrades cut upgrade time by up to 40% through preemptive system checks and accelerates adoption of the latest cybersecurity and operational enhancements.
- Faster integration and deployment:Connects systems more quickly across environments using an open, connected approach. Visual integration tools, including Node-RED, enable real-time data sharing and help deploy integrations up to 80% faster, reducing costs by 60% to 70% and bringing new capabilities online in days instead of months.
- Built-in resilience for continuous uptime:Protects uptime with built-in resilience across multiple servers so operations continue seamlessly if one server goes offline, without the need for specialized hardware or third-party software.
- Accelerated engineering and upgrades:Accelerates deployment and reduces disruption through standardized workflows that cut engineering and deployment time by up to 30%.
- Integrated energy and performance visibility: Provides real-time visibility into peak load analytics, energy use, indoor air quality, emissions and system performance in a single system, reducing configuration time and limiting the need for third-party tools.
- Scalability for growing environments:Scales from single buildings to campuses and portfolios, supporting up to 1,300 IP devices, 30% more than previous versions, without requiring system changes.
- Optimized performance and efficiency:Improves efficiency with air and water sequences aligned to ASHRAE Guideline 36, delivering more consistent performance and up to 30% energy savings.
- Regulatory readiness:Helps customers stay ahead of evolving requirements, including dashboards ready for Energy Performance of Buildings Directive dashboards and other emerging global standard reporting requirements with validated data and clear insights to support compliance and occupant well-being.
Enabled by Johnson Controls innovation, manufacturing scale and a global 50,000-person field workforce, Metasys 16.0 helps customers create and sustain precise, resilient environments, facilitating more efficient operations, lower risk and consistent performance over time.
