Why Building Management Falls Short
Multi-vendor buildings create fragmented operations, energy blind spots, and compliance headaches.
Multi-Vendor Fragmentation
Your building has Tridium for HVAC, another system for lighting, a third for fire alarm. Each has its own dashboard, its own data silo, its own login. No unified view of building health.
Energy Blind Spots
Without integrated monitoring, energy waste goes undetected. Green Mark 2021 and the upcoming Mandatory Energy Improvement regime demand data you can't easily get from fragmented systems.
Reactive Operations
Equipment failures are discovered when tenants complain. By then, comfort is degraded, costs escalate, and SLAs are breached.
Compliance Burden
Green Mark, energy audits, ESG reporting — all require data that sits in multiple disconnected systems. Manual compilation is expensive and error-prone.
How Softgrid Unifies Your Building
A layered approach that preserves your existing investment and adds intelligence on top.
Integration Layer
Cloud BMS connects to your existing BMS controllers (Tridium, Midea, and others) via BACnet and Modbus. No rip-and-replace. Your existing investment is preserved — we add intelligence on top.
Unified Monitoring
One dashboard for HVAC, lighting, energy, fire alarm, lifts, escalators, gensets, FCU, AHU, chillers. Bi-directional MQTT control with guaranteed message delivery (QoS Level 2).
Operations Management
IRIS integrates with Cloud BMS for closed-loop maintenance: equipment fault detected → work order auto-generated → technician dispatched → resolution verified.
Intelligence Layer
AI analytics identify energy waste patterns. Athena answers questions about building procedures. ESG data collection runs automatically in the background.
An Open Stack for Every Brand
Four products from the AFOS platform, working together — vendor-agnostic by design.
| Product | Series | Role |
