The challenge
Office buildings had high energy costs, inefficient space use, and manual facility management that was expensive and reactive rather than preventive.
Sensor Integration
Connecting varied IoT devices and protocols
Data Processing
Handling real-time data from hundreds of sensors
Legacy System Integration
Connecting with existing building management systems
What we did
IoT sensors throughout the building feeding a central monitoring system, with predictive analytics and automated control of lighting, HVAC, security and space.
