Does Volta Insite Tie Into My BMS/BAS System?
10/03/2025
A: Not at this time. Currently, Volta Insite operates independently to provide high-resolution electrical monitoring and diagnostics. While Building Management Systems (BMS) and Building Automation Systems (BAS) excel at managing and automating operations like HVAC, lighting, and energy efficiency, Volta Insite focuses exclusively on delivering precision monitoring and analysis of electrical systems.
Our system’s design enables facility managers to access unparalleled insights into equipment performance and reliability, complementing the broader operational management offered by BMS/BAS systems.
Why Doesn’t Volta Insite Integrate with BMS/BAS Systems?
Volta Insite was built to address a specific gap in facility management—the need for detailed electrical performance monitoring. Unlike BMS/BAS systems, which provide general control and automation, Volta Insite offers:
High-Resolution Data
Sampling waveforms at 20 kHz for unmatched detail in identifying electrical anomalies.
Targeted Alerts
Proactive notifications that focus on electrical issues, ensuring facility operators receive actionable insights.
Specialized Analytics
Advanced tools designed to keep your electrical equipment operating at peak efficiency.
By remaining separate for now, Volta Insite ensures its advanced capabilities are not limited by the constraints of traditional BMS/BAS systems.
What Sets Volta Insite Apart?
Volta Insite doesn’t aim to replace a BMS/BAS system but instead offers a specialized layer of monitoring that enhances your overall facility management strategy.
Precision Monitoring
Volta Insite focuses on the electrical systems that power your equipment, such as motors, fans, HVAC components, and more.
AI-Driven Alerts
Alerts are sent directly to facility operators with detailed insights, allowing for immediate response.
Monthly Reports
Automated reports reviewed by engineers provide actionable recommendations to improve reliability and reduce downtime.
How Volta Insite Complements Your BMS/BAS System
Although Volta Insite does not currently integrate with BMS/BAS systems, it complements their capabilities by offering deeper insights into the electrical infrastructure that supports building operations.
For example:
HVAC Systems
While a BAS controls HVAC temperature and scheduling, Volta Insite monitors the motors and electrical systems powering those units.
Lighting Circuits
BAS systems automate lighting schedules, and Volta Insite detects electrical faults that could impact functionality.
Energy Management
BAS systems optimize energy consumption, while Volta Insite identifies inefficiencies or risks within the electrical infrastructure.
Together, Volta Insite and a BMS/BAS can create a more efficient, resilient facility by addressing different but complementary aspects of building performance.
