The most expensive automation mistakes are made on paper, long before installation. We are engaged purely as an independent technical advisor to shape controls strategy, technology selection and the digital roadmap for new builds and retrofits — so capital is committed with clarity, not optimism. We don't sell or install anything; our only product is sound advice.
Scope of work.
Controls philosophy
A written controls strategy defining how the building should sense, decide and act — the intent every later decision is measured against.
Technology selection
Vendor-neutral evaluation of edge and headend options, weighted to your operational reality rather than a manufacturer's catalogue.
Digital roadmap
A phased plan that sequences quick wins against long-term platform investment, with budget and risk attached to each phase.
Feasibility & ROI modelling
Energy, comfort and lifecycle analysis that turns a proposed system into a defensible business case.
Edge to headend, by design.
At the advisory stage the stack is a deliberate recommendation, not a default. We map where Milesight LoRaWAN edge devices remove costly cabling and where a Tridium Niagara headend earns its place as the long-term integration layer — and, just as often, where they don't.
Milesight
LoRaWAN sensors, IoT gateways and controllers that capture the building's reality — air quality, occupancy, energy, leaks — with long range, ultra-low power and end-to-end encryption. Wireless deployment reaches spaces traditional cabling never could, economically.
Tridium Niagara
The open, vendor-neutral software framework that normalises data from nearly any device or protocol — BACnet, Modbus, OPC UA and beyond — into one model. The control engine and supervisory layer where the building is integrated, visualised and operated as a whole.
The engagement.
Discovery
We interview operators, review drawings and walk the site to understand how the building actually behaves.
Options analysis
Candidate architectures are scored against cost, risk, openness and operational fit.
Recommendation
A single, argued recommendation — with the reasoning visible, so you can challenge it.
