About The Project
Buildoryxen manages a portfolio of commercial buildings that use a wide range of connected devices and building systems. Over time, these properties accumulated HVAC controllers, energy meters, air-quality sensors, leak detectors, and other monitoring equipment from different vendors. Each system came with its own software, login, and way of displaying data.
This made day-to-day operations difficult. Facilities teams had to switch between multiple dashboards just to monitor a single building. Important alerts were distributed across multiple systems, and comparing data across devices was time-consuming. The company wanted a way to bring all building data into one place without replacing existing hardware.
We built an IoT integration platform that connects devices from different vendors and presents everything through a single dashboard. The platform collects, organizes, and displays real-time data while giving teams a simpler way to monitor buildings, manage assets, and respond to issues.
Key Project Deliverables
We built a single platform to monitor and manage all building systems across multiple sites in real time.
Multi-Protocol Device Integration
Connects MQTT, Modbus, BACnet, and REST devices without replacing any existing building hardware or systems.
Unified Data Model
Standardizes sensor data across different vendors into a single format for consistent monitoring, comparison, and reporting.
Real-Time Data Pipeline
Processes live device readings and updates dashboards within seconds for accurate building system monitoring.
Operations Dashboard
Displays the live status of buildings, floors, equipment, and sensors in a single, simple interface for daily use.
Alerting and Rules Engine
Sends alerts for important issues while filtering duplicates and reducing unnecessary notifications.
Energy Monitoring Tools
Tracks energy consumption across buildings and supports comparisons, reporting, and performance tracking.
Major Project Challenges
One of the biggest challenges was integrating devices from different vendors. Each system used different communication methods, reporting formats, and update schedules. Some devices sent data automatically while others required polling. Error reporting also varied from one vendor to another. The platform needed to handle these differences while keeping data accurate and reliable.
Another challenge was the volume of data. Thousands of devices were generating readings every few seconds across multiple buildings. This created millions of records each day. The platform needed to process, store, and display this information quickly without slowing down dashboard performance.
Alert management was also a challenge. Facilities teams need useful alerts, not constant notifications. Faulty sensors or temporary spikes could easily create unnecessary noise. The system needed to identify genuine issues while preventing duplicate or low-priority alerts from overwhelming users.
Solutions & Impact
We built the integration layer using protocol-specific adapters connected to AWS IoT Core. Each adapter handles communication with a particular device type and converts incoming data into a shared format. This approach makes it easier to support new hardware without changing the rest of the platform.
To manage large volumes of telemetry data, we used InfluxDB for time-series readings and PostgreSQL for assets, users, configurations, and alert rules. This separation keeps reporting and dashboard queries fast while maintaining a clean structure for operational data.
We developed a real-time dashboard that provides facilities teams with a unified view of all buildings, devices, and alerts. This enables quick identification of issues and supports portfolio-wide sustainability efforts through integrated energy monitoring tools. To minimize unnecessary notifications, the alerting system incorporates deduplication rules and configurable threshold controls.
The platform now gives Buildoryxen a single operational view across its properties. New devices and buildings can be added quickly, and facilities teams spend less time switching between systems while gaining better visibility into building performance.
