In the modern era, companies are embracing digital transformation to create new customer experiences, foster workforce innovation, and develop new business models driven by analytics. Buildings play a crucial role in this digital shift as they serve as the operational hubs for most traditional businesses. Building owners and facility managers recognize the need to interconnect various sub-systems like lighting, HVAC, security, sensors, and audio-video systems to enhance experiences and improve efficiencies. Historically, these subsystems have been isolated, stagnant, and challenging to manage. While integrating these disparate systems is key to digital transformation, it has been a complex and costly endeavor.
