DEDEMAN
BACĂU
Where human expertise meets automation. The story of a sustainable partnership
WHY?
The story:
When you share the same values as your client.
In short? Dedeman is the client closest to our heart.
In full? It’s the first client we started our journey with back in 2012. Since then, we’ve grown together — not only in our projects, but also in our values, mutual respect, and trust. For us, Dedeman is more than a major brand. It’s a family that has grown beautifully, guided by warm people, attention to detail, and a quiet ambition to build sustainably.
We genuinely value every meeting with them. We nurture our relationship with integrity and deliver projects through innovation — for a cleaner, more predictable, and better future for all of us.
WHAT?
The challenge:
What you can’t measure, you can’t control.
Dedeman understood a fundamental truth for any business aiming for long-term resilience: efficiency isn’t optional. It’s a daily choice.
To support their growth in a smart and sustainable way, they needed:
🔧 Monitoring and full control of HVAC systems, lighting, and power supply equipment;
⏱️ Smart alarm systems for immediate fault detection;
🧠 A centralized system, yet adaptable to each store, ensuring every kW of electricity and every cubic meter of gas is used efficiently.
HOW?
The solution:
Automation that lives with the building.
Our reliable BMS has been deployed — more than just technology, it’s an ecosystem that senses, responds, and adapts.
🔩 Technologies used:
- Beckhoff PLCs with TwinCAT
- Zenon SCADA by Copa-Data
- 61 independent projects integrated, covering areas between 15,000 and 60,000 m²
- Local control and centralized server for comprehensive data analysis
🔩 Key features:
- Lighting control: automatic, dimmable, based on schedule or occupancy
- HVAC control: temperatures, sensors, reference values
- Security: alarms, interlocks, fire protection
- Energy: measurement, reporting, diagnostics
- Automated reporting: graphical, tabular, and sent via email/SMS
- User management + remote diagnostics access
WHAT WAS ACHIEVED?
The result:
Clear data, documented decisions, smiles
A system that streamlines operations, conserves resources, and saves time — stress-free.
💡 Less waste: reduced consumption by turning off lights after hours, adjusting based on brightness and occupancy, and optimizing HVAC at night and according to outside temperature.
📊 More control: data flows in real time, issues are identified in just a few clicks, and decisions are made based on facts, not instinct.
😊More joy: it shows on the faces of those using the system — because they have decision-making power at their fingertips and can prevent chaos before it happens.
CLIENT THOUGHTS?
Trust earned, not demanded
“Partnering with the bitYes team gave us not only a high-performance technical solution, but also the peace of mind that we could rely on a system supporting our efficiency and sustainability goals.
What began as a good collaboration evolved into a long-term partnership. From the start, we appreciated the values we share: humanity, respect, transparency, and dedication.”

BACKSTAGE
When technology meets nature
Sometimes, no matter how smart the BMS system is, nature updates its own firmware.
Once, a crow pecked at the wind sensor, and the vents stopped opening properly. Another time, a pigeon left … a deposit directly on the light sensor, tricking it into thinking it was night outside and causing the parking lights to turn on far too early.
Thanks to the BMS application — all these “avian anomalies” were detected in real time, reported to operators, and handled quickly.
Technology helps us control almost everything. But when it comes to nature, we remain humble and grateful for the alarm function.
