How We Do It
Our innovations are deployed across thousands of buildings, spaces and equipment across the globe. We understand the unique context in which each of your buildings and equipment operates. Based on this, our CORTIX™ Building IoT platform generates insights, leading to further action by the platform, the user or data scientists, skilled analysts and domain experts at our BluEdge™ Command Centers. Our process also includes our patented SERVICE WINDOW® framework and the unique concept of Service Consumption Area. Our 3 waves approach ties all these together, ensuring an efficient and effective delivery of solution.
System integration
Your energy-consuming equipment has sensors to control and monitor parameters. These sensors are connected to Building Automation Systems. Where and when required, we help you install these sensors and systems.
Data capture
Data from your Building Automation Systems is transmitted through the internet. Non-IoT data - such as business data, weather data and service management data - is also fed to the platform. We collect data from multiple sources to understand the context of the operations.
CORTIX™ Deployment
Our cloud environment collates this real-time data and feeds it to CORTIX™ – our AI-enabled Building IoT platform. As the CORTIX™ platform is technology agnostic, the type, age, software version of the equipment does not impede operations.
Data processing
With its adaptive intelligence, the CORTIX™ platform cleans, translates, classifies, processes, contextualizes and correlates all this data.
Actionable intelligence
Building on this, the CORTIX™ platform offers actionable intelligence through multiple interfaces such as mobility, and this intelligence can be easily integrated into user operations.
Agile execution
For compatible systems, the CORTIX™ platform also directly carries out proactive, autonomous actions such as in the case of auto demand response or outside air temperature sensor calibration. In other cases, users can work with proactive insights conveyed to them through the CORTIX™ platform’s mobile application which allows self-service. Additionally, analysts and experts at our BluEdge™ Command Centers can provide 24/7 support to users for recommended actions. Users can also contact the BluEdge™ Command Centers directly for support.
Continous learning
The outcomes of its recommendations are fed back to the CORTIX™ platform, which “learns” their effectiveness and uses this information for similar situations in the future. With every iteration, the self-learning platform gets smarter and provides more effective recommendations.
Operational transformation
The predictive platform enables users to proactively improve energy efficiency and equipment health leading to lower energy and maintenance costs and better compliance. Field dispatches, if required, are also better coordinated and more effective.
SERVICE WINDOW® Framework
Our patented framework enables us to identify the relationship between energy consumption patterns (measured in kWh) and operations patterns, measured by site usage pattern (e.g. customer usage vs employee only usage hours), guest count or footfalls etc. The framework illustrates unique energy and business profiles that a typical enterprise goes through, during its operations over a period of time (usually 24 hours). The profiles for each of the Service Windows are different and are consistently repeated every day. Using this framework, we analyze the patterns and identify the potential to save energy costs for enterprises.
Service Consumption Area
A logical area where services – having specified policies – are consumed by users or occupants of that area, e.g. a hotel has different service consumption areas – reception foyer, occupied rooms, unoccupied rooms, conference halls and kitchens. Typically, these areas have different business goals, so the nature of consumption is different. We continuously monitor your policy compliance and optimize your products and services within the boundary of those policies.
3 Waves Approach
Rigorous yet agile, our proprietary 3 Waves approach is a comprehensive, 3-step digital transformation process. It enables us to deliver business outcomes such as maximizing efficiency, minimizing maintenance costs, enhancing occupant comfort and ensuring occupant safety.
Wave 2
Savings generated from Wave 1 are built upon through detailed understanding and specific insights of your buildings, equipment and operations by the CORTIX™ platform. Through advanced deviation management, the CORTIX™ platform predicts, proactively detects and rectifies any deviations from deployed strategies, in near real-time. The CORTIX™ platform is equipped with machine learning and becomes smarter about your operations, buildings, or equipment through multiple learning cycles.

Wave 1
Our CORTIX™ Building IoT platform has been working for almost a decade, processing data from over 36,000 sites. The entire knowledge bank developed by the platform is deployed for your equipment and sites from Day 1. This ensures that you start receiving savings almost immediately. The knowledge bank consists of learnings across multiple geographies, industries, building types and equipment categories. Our senior analysts and domain experts design and deploy the most optimal strategies for your existing equipment. We also apply proven strategies to optimize your costs and operations, to ensure your most important business goals are realized at the earliest.
Wave 3
The third wave delivers comprehensive digital transformation of your equipment, buildings and operations. The advanced analysis of data – enriched by us over time – maximizes the effectiveness of the deployed strategies and enables identification of new and more opportunities to optimize. This also helps unravel strategic insights to improve your equipment and operations, thereby enabling you to take informed decisions on design improvements.
