2. OptiFlex Virtual Integrator
Winner of the 2019 AHR Expo Innovation Award for Building Automation, the OptiFlex Virtual Integrator allows your ALC Fanatic to scale up building enterprise integration easily, efficiently, and cost-effectively, without having to install massive control panels with multiple router/gateways. With support for up to 50,000 BACnet or Modbus IP-based data points, the new OptiFlex™ Virtual Integrator connects and monitors large volumes of data across various systems, sub-systems, and devices in a building – regardless of manufacturer. It then seamlessly integrates that data into the WebCTRL® building automation system.
If your Automated Logic Fanatic has long requested a product that has the ability to read and process vast amounts of building data without taking up the wall space of physical hardware gateways, you will want to gift them the OptiFlex Virtual Integrator.

3. OptiFlex OFBBC and FIO I/O Expanders

Your Automated Logic Fanatic will want the newest BACnet building controller/expander combination, the OptiFlex OFBBC and FIO I/O Expanders. With the ability to support up to 9 FIO I/O expanders, the OFBBC is ideal for controlling central plants, air handlers, rooftop units, or anywhere there is a large aggregation of I/O. OptiFlex I/O expanders are designed for flexible panel configurations, including the capability to be remotely mounted. Additionally, the OFBBC can simultaneously integrate 3rd party BACnet systems.
4. WebCTRL IntelliSuite and Analytics Solutions
