The invention relates to a method for operating a textile machine (1) with a multiple number of similar work stations (2), whereas, with the assistance of work stations (2) during normal operation, yarn is produced or is rewound from a delivery coil onto a receiving coil, and whereas normal operation at the individual work stations (2) is interrupted at certain time intervals and is resumed with the assistance of a maintenance operation, and whereas the maintenance operations are carried out by one or more maintenance devices (3). In accordance with the invention, it proposed that for each work station (2), one or more production-related parameters are known or are determined, and that if more maintenance operations are to be carried out simultaneously than can be carried out by the maintenance devices(s) (3), the selection of the work station (2) to be serviced next will then be made under consideration of such production-related parameters, in such a manner that an upcoming batch change is completed as early as possible.

A utility individual usage allocation and control system and method to manage utility and related services to a plurality of units in a facility to increase operational efficiency and cost savings. The system and method include a plurality of controllers positioned in a plurality of respective zones. A plurality of output devices are operably coupled to each controller and a utility provider is operably coupled to each of the output devices. A processor is configured to receive run-time data from each of the plurality of controllers, the run-time data corresponding with actual time the output device is in an engaged state. Run-time data from each controller is processed to determine proportion of total utility used by each zone. The processor is remote from the controllers and data is transmitted by wireless signals. The utility is selected from a group comprising hot air, hot water, cool air, electricity and memory data.

A device for monitoring and controlling an electrical system. The device has a control unit which attaches to a building's electrical system. The control unit includes a sensor attached to each circuit of the electrical system, wherein the sensor can detect characteristics of the circuit and transmit the data to a computer. The computer can analyze the data to check for fault states and other anomalies as well as monitor overall performance of the electrical system. The computer can disable electricity from reaching the circuit when a fault condition is detected via the sensor. Further, the data can be transmitted to a display in order to provide status updates and recommendations to a user. The status of each of the building's circuit is displayed and a user may test or reset any circuit via an interface with the display or a mobile electronic device.

A variable air volume controller includes a communications interface and a processing circuit. The communications interface is configured to facilitate communication with an external device and building equipment. The processing circuit is configured to store a plurality of predefined, selectable-applications; receive a selection of one of the plurality of predefined, selectable-applications; and implement the selected application such that the building equipment is controlled according to the selected application.
