A Day in the Life: Keeping Buildings Smart and Secure
Rise and Shine: Morning at Total Automation Concepts, Inc.
As I pull into the parking lot of our Bolingbrook office, I can’t help but feel excited about the day ahead. Working for Total Automation Concepts, Inc. means no two days are ever the same. Today, I’m starting with a Building Automation System installation in Oak Brook, followed by a security system service call in Naperville.
8:00 AM: Team Huddle
Our day begins with a quick team meeting. We discuss ongoing projects, including:
- Lighting control system installation in Chicago
- Building integration system maintenance in Downers Grove
- Security upgrades for a corporate client in Tinley Park
9:30 AM: On-Site in Oak Brook
I arrive at the client’s building to begin the BAS installation. It’s always satisfying to see how our work transforms a regular building into a smart, efficient structure. As I connect various systems, I explain to the facility manager how this will optimize their energy usage and improve overall comfort for occupants.
1:00 PM: Lunch Break in Naperville
After wrapping up in Oak Brook, I head to Naperville for my next appointment. I grab a quick lunch at a local café, using this time to check emails and prepare for the upcoming security system service.
2:00 PM: Security System Service
At the Naperville site, I’m greeted by a concerned office manager. Their security cameras have been malfunctioning, and I’m here to diagnose and fix the issue. It turns out to be a simple software glitch, which I’m able to resolve quickly. The relief on the manager’s face is palpable – it’s moments like these that make my job rewarding.
4:30 PM: Back to Base
Returning to our Bolingbrook office, I spend the last hour of my day updating project logs and preparing for tomorrow. There’s a big lighting control system installation coming up in Chicago, and I want to ensure we have all the necessary equipment ready.
Reflecting on the Day
As I pack up to head home, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Whether it’s enhancing building efficiency, ensuring security, or improving lighting controls, every day at Total Automation Concepts, Inc. is about making spaces smarter and safer for our clients across the Chicago area.
From Tinley Park to Oak Brook, our team is dedicated to bringing cutting-edge automation solutions to businesses and buildings throughout Illinois.
