IoT and Wireless BMS Use Cases with Inferrix
Inferrix Cloud and the Inferrix wireless device ecosystem give you a robust, scalable and user friendly way to connect sensors, gateways and controllers across any building, site or asset. One platform, many use cases.
The platform is device agnostic, so you can ingest and analyse telemetry from almost any sensor, connected device or application. Powerful automation, dashboards and APIs help you move faster from idea to production, while focusing on the specific outcomes of your solution instead of low level plumbing.
Use case families at a glance
Inferrix is a horizontal IoT and wireless BMS platform that supports many vertical solutions. Below are the primary families of use cases, each underpinned by the same core building blocks of sensors, gateways, Inferrix Cloud dashboards, alerts and APIs.
Energy and utilities
Smart energy management
Smart energy with Inferrix is about using connected sensors and automation to manage electricity, water, gas and thermal energy more intelligently. Inferrix Cloud collects consumption and status data in real time, runs analytics and triggers actions that reduce waste, improve comfort and protect critical assets.
Solution structure
Smart and industrial meters, CTs and submeters measure consumption across buildings, plants and sites. Inferrix gateways connect them over protocols such as Modbus and standard IP, then stream telemetry securely into Inferrix Cloud.
In the cloud, rule chains process data, raise alarms on abnormal conditions and feed dashboards and reports. Users manage devices, sites and tenants from a single interface, and can integrate data into billing, energy analytics and ESG reporting tools.
Key benefits
- Early failure detection and risk mitigation through anomaly alerts
- Dynamic energy optimisation based on tariffs, schedules and occupancy
- Centralised monitoring of multi site energy performance
- Improved efficiency and reduced operating costs
- Support for sustainability, ESG and regulatory compliance
