QA Graphics Launches Vectortology™, the Industry’s First Haystack Aligned Vector Ontology for Building Automation Systems Graphics
QA Graphics announced the launch of Vectortology™, the building automation industry’s first Haystack aligned vector symbol ontology built specifically for Building Automation Systems (BAS) graphics workflows. Vectortology™ establishes a standardized semantic connection between BAS databases and graphical user interfaces by embedding structured data directly into vector symbols.
Vectortology™ Powered Vector Symbols
QA Graphics Vector Symbol Library is built on our proprietary framework called Vectortology™.
Vectortology™ is the industry’s first Haystack aligned vector symbol ontology built specifically for Building Automation Systems (BAS) graphics workflows. It transforms symbols from static artwork into semantic system objects that connect visual graphics directly to building data models.
Vectortology™ is released as Beta Version 1 and is currently in active production use within QA Graphics vector symbol libraries and structured graphic workflows. Beta v1 is aligned with current Project Haystack semantic tag models.
QA Graphics will continue to expand Vectortology™ compatibility as Haystack standards evolve including planned updates for Haystack 5 enhancements as specifications are finalized.
Traditional BAS symbols focus only on appearance.
Vectortology™ symbols are built to include embedded semantic data defining
- Equipment classification aligned to Project Haystack
- Standard naming conventions
- Supported point slot connections such as status command and alarm
- Orientation logic for template placement
- Defined animation states tied to system behavior
This ensures every symbol carries both visual identity and functional meaning.
Vectortology™ enables deterministic automation, meaning graphics assembly follows standardized rules where identical building data inputs always produce identical visual outputs.
Rather than relying on visual guessing or generative automation, graphic templates can be populated directly from known Building Automation Systems data models using consistent predefined mappings.
This results in
- Faster graphics production
- Reduced engineering labor
- Improved quality assurance consistency
- Portfolio wide standardization
- Safer scalable automation workflows
Vectortology™ powered symbols support deployment across major Building Automation Systems platforms including
- Niagara N4
- Johnson Controls MUI
- Schneider Electric EcoStruxure
- Trane Tracer
- Reflow and custom BAS user interface environments
Because our symbols remain vector native and hardware independent customers maintain long term platform flexibility.
Vectortology™ does not require changes to your existing BAS database structure.
The ontology framework supports
- Native Project Haystack tagging
- Customer defined naming conventions
- Hybrid transitional naming models
This allows semantic modernization without disruption to existing workflows.
Vectortology™ was developed by QA Graphics after nearly two decades of hands on deployment across healthcare education government industrial and data center Building Automation Systems environments.
Every rule and symbol reflects real world graphic engineering workflows rather than theoretical modeling approaches.
Contact QA Graphics to explore how semantic vector standards can accelerate your Building Automation Systems graphics production and modernization initiatives.
TRIDIUM NIAGARA N4 MODULE
This tool is an extension update of our existing v5 Symbol Library that will easily replace N4’s existing graphics file. This symbol library mod- ule will effortlessly integrate within the Tridium software, allowing N4 users to implement QA Graphics’ extensive v5 Symbol Library. While this new symbol library module is for the Niagara N4 software only, the v5 Symbol Library files can be delivered for any control system.
- Same BAS v5 Symbol Library just now in an easy-to-use module for N4
- Allows you to easily substitute N4’s existing graphic files
- This module is free of charge to whoever owns a v5 Symbol Library
SCHNEIDER’S STRUXUREWARE / ECOSTRUXURE COMPONENT
This tool is an extension update of our existing v5 Symbol Library that will easily replace Schneider’s Struxureware/Ecostruxure’s existing graphic library. This symbol library component will effortlessly inte- grate within the software, allowing Struxureware/Ecostruxure software users to implement QA Graphics’ extensive Symbol Library. While this new symbol library component is for Schneider’s Struxureware/ Ecostruxure software only, the v5 Symbol Library files can be delivered to any control system.
- Same BAS v5 Symbol Library just now in an easy-to-use component for Schneider’s Struxureware/Ecostruxure
- Allows you to easily substitute Struxureware/Ecostruxure’s existing graphic library
- Symbols are set up with animations to be dragged and dropped in so points can be mapped within the graphic editor
- This module is free of charge to whoever owns a V5 Symbol Library
Our Customers
QA Graphics did an exceptional job on the graphics for our recent project, which was full of confusing and complex systems. You would almost think that QA Graphics was part of the project from the beginning. In fact, I have been surprised many times to find that little obscure things were picked up on that I was sure would be missed. I REALLY appreciate the work QA Graphics did on this project.

I would like to throw a huge shout-out to you and your team for all the hard work on the project. After downloading the new MUI package we expected to see problems and were prepared to come back to QA with a bunch of fixes. This was not the case at all. QA really nailed it on this one and we at JCI are so thankful that you are part of the team!! This was by far the smoothest package that we have had to drop in and it really made us look good in front of this customer. This site has now become a showcase piece for future MUI sites and we are excited to show off the work that was done. Again, thanks so much for all the hard work and please let your team know how much we appreciate them going the extra mile to get this done in such a tight time frame. Looking forward to continuing the relationship and growing together as the future brings on more exciting projects.

Walking the floor at AHR Expo this year, one thing became clear to me. While everyone is talking about improving user experience in building automation, much of the industry is still designing for itself instead of the people actually operating the buildings every day.
At QA Graphics, we’ve spent nearly two decades perfecting the tools that make building automation projects faster, easier, and more professional. One of the most valuable resources we provide is our collection of symbol libraries—purpose-built assets trusted by system integrators, end users, and control manufacturers alike.
