by Shane Henson — August 31, 2011—Facilities managers who have been eyeing Johnson Controls’ new Metasys Graphics+ graphics package can now secure it through QA Graphics, a design firm specializing in creative solutions for the building automation industry.
Graphics+ was introduced by Johnson Controls to its branch locations in mid-August as the newest system graphics package for use with the latest release (version 5.2) of their Metasys building management system. The new graphics package was designed to provide the end-user with a more user-friendly interface, allowing users to easily navigate between graphics within the system and view more equipment details, general statuses, alarms, warning details, etc.
QA Graphics says it is one of only two prequalified subcontractors capable of providing system graphic development for Metasys Graphics+ projects. QA Graphics has reportedly been providing graphic outsourcing services for Johnson Controls vendors for over 10 years, having completed more than 1,800 projects. With this experience, they were closely involved during the development stages of the new graphics package, providing 3D image creation and super templates, participating in beta testing, and receiving training in the deployment of the new Graphics+ package. QA Graphics also met with Johnson Controls’ user experience group to provide feedback on how to evolve future releases of Graphics+, such as how to implement custom symbols and AGA functionality.
