Modern Building Management for Logistics and a Kindergarten

Kellner and Kunz AG is known as the expert for screws, tools, dowels, fasteners, construction, metal, DIN and standardised parts. GTS Automation GmbH, evon’s partner, was selected to install the entire building management system for the new logistics centre.

Kellner & Kunz is one of the two leading companies belonging to the RECA group of 27 companies in 19 countries. The group concentrates on servicing the markets for industry and craft and offers a competent and comprehensive portfolio of products and services. The logistics centre in Wels directly supplies all customers in Austria and Eastern Europe.

GTS specialises in the automation of classical heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems (HVAC control). The company also offers specific control solutions for the lighting, shading and climate control of individual rooms. The seamless integration of further, relevant, disciplines enables video access and alarm systems to be integrated into an overall system thus creating an extensive building management system.

Kellner and Kunz AG doubled their logistics footprint at their headquarters in Wels with the construction of a modern logistics extension in 2019 and 2020. GTS Automation AG relied on evon XAMControl for building management.

The project includes the control of heating, ventilation, and cooling systems as well as the entire smoke extraction control with a certified ring bus system complying to ÖNORM F3001.

Thanks to the flexibility and openness of evon XAMControl, the room automation from Thermokon Joy could be integrated quickly and efficiently via Modbus. The fire dampers and the smoke extraction control (both supplied by Agnosys) were connected via BACnet.
