A Vision for Integrated Security and Building Management
Total Automation Concepts, Inc. has come a long way since its humble beginnings in 1995. Founded by John and Sarah Thompson, the company started as a small security system installation service operating out of their garage in Austin, Texas. The couple shared a vision of creating comprehensive, user-friendly security solutions for homes and businesses alike.
Early Years and Expansion
In the first few years, Total Automation Concepts focused primarily on residential security systems. As their reputation for quality service and innovative solutions grew, they began to attract commercial clients. By the year 2000, the company had expanded its offerings to include:
- Access control systems
- Video surveillance
- Fire detection and alarm systems
- Intrusion detection
Embracing Building Integration
As technology advanced, so did Total Automation Concepts. In 2005, the company recognized the growing demand for integrated building management systems. They invested heavily in research and development, leading to the launch of their proprietary Building Integration System (BIS) in 2007.
This innovative platform allowed clients to control and monitor various building systems from a single interface, including:
- HVAC
- Lighting
- Energy management
- Security systems
Growth and Recognition
The success of their BIS catapulted Total Automation Concepts to the forefront of the industry. By 2010, they had opened offices in five major cities across the United States and had begun serving international clients.
In 2015, the company was recognized with the “Innovator of the Year” award by the National Security Industry Association for their groundbreaking work in integrating artificial intelligence into building security systems.
Looking to the Future
Today, Total Automation Concepts, Inc. continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in security and building integration. With a focus on sustainability and smart city technologies, the company is well-positioned to shape the future of urban living and working environments.
From its modest start in a Texas garage to becoming an industry leader with a global presence, Total Automation Concepts, Inc. has never lost sight of its core mission: to provide innovative, integrated solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and comfort for its clients.
