Delivering the Office of the Future

Molex was selected to collaborate with Johnson Controls due in part to a strong track record in delivering digital building transformation, a vital enabling factor in realizing their headquarters’ IoT vision. The headquarters’ systems utilize a state-of-the-art Power over Ethernet (PoE) infrastructure and CoreSync Smart Building Platform, deployed on Cisco Systems technology. This Digital Building network communicates with the Metasys® workspace automation platform from Johnson Controls for a highly secure system, able to track levels of lighting, temperature, air quality and occupancy. Molex’s integration with Johnson Controls’ technology underwent a crucial testing process at their Integration Hub. Both Molex and Johnson Controls are therefore confident that the resulting systems – in particular, their compatibility and open architecture – will enable GeorgiaPacific to take advantage of future innovation for further building optimization. The Molex solution deploys sensors across the network, allowing the system to aggregate data to ensure productive working conditions, drive efficiency, optimize space utilization and schedule maintenance. One example of the Digital Building capability is the CoreSync occupancy and temperature sensors, which inform the AV, HVAC and room scheduling systems, automatically providing an environment ideal for comfort and productivity
