For mainstream commercial properties  the biggest challenge to creating cost-effective smart buildings has been the lack of interoperability between devices. This includes legacy equipment such as roof-top chillers, electric meters, and lighting control panels as well as next-generation IoT sensors and switches.
Cost-effectively deploy and connect IoT devices and legacy building systems

CANDI solves the connectivity challenge. CANDI software in low-cost, industry-leading gateways bi-directionally links building services and operators to their remote assets. This technology-agnostic, open IoT server bridges protocols, integrates devices, and normalizes and secures data. IoT devices can now be cost-effectively deployed, and legacy devices retrofitted to generate comprehensive data for analytics, monitoring, and automation.
CANDI is scalable and fully bi-directional, which means you get sophisticated management, detailed monitoring and instant control of smart building devices and equipment across your portfolio.
