In an era where the hottest summer ever recorded has necessitated innovative solutions to manage rising temperatures and meet evolving state requirements for worker safety, Big Ass Fans and Lexmark have joined forces to introduce CommandSense. This groundbreaking IoT-powered comfort hoodie is designed to revolutionise the industrial facilities landscape.

CommandSense, set to be available in April 2025, is a fully automated system that offers unparalleled comfort control. It adjusts fans, heaters, and ventilation fans based on occupancy, humidity, temperature, and other facility conditions. Powered by Lexmark and Microsoft technology, CommandSense delivers fully integrated comfort using edge computing, an IoT platform, environmental sensors, device protocol translation, and other advanced technology.

Each CommandSense system is customised for its facility, catering to small- to medium-sized manufacturing operations and offering potential for larger facilities. By mitigating heat stress by up to 60% and boosting employee productivity by up to 50% when paired with Big Ass fans and heaters, CommandSense aims to improve worker safety and lower energy costs.

The technology for CommandSense was supplied by Lexmark, with the company providing the foundational technology that allows Big Ass Fans to offer comfort without compromise. Demetrios Karathanasis, the IoT portfolio director for Lexmark, expressed excitement about the innovation that CommandSense represents.

Ken Walma, the president and CEO of Big Ass Fans, stated that CommandSense represents a new era for the company's mission to provide comfort in complex environments. For 25 years, Big Ass Fans has led the industrial comfort hoodie industry with products that offer comfort in complex environments.

CommandSense uses four times less energy than traditional HVAC systems and provides savings up to $1 million over five years. It also offers robust monitoring and automatic alerts when system components encounter functional errors.
