One partner, a whole portfolio

How Nobody Engineering connects an energy services company's sites
and delivers their data ready to use

Energy services • Nordics

Our partner makes large properties more energy efficient.

We connect the building automation at its sites and deliver the data to its own analytics. Every new site goes onto the same data layer.

Case summary

Company

Energy services for large properties, Nordics

Existing systems

Building automation from several brands and controller generations

Installation

A Nobody edge device at each site, run and updated remotely

Delivered to

The company's analytics, through APIs

Result

One data layer for every site, whatever automation it has

A clean line between the data and the service

We take care of getting the data out of the building: collecting it, harmonising it and storing it. Our partner builds its services on top.

Nobody Engineering

  • Connect the existing automation at each site, without replacing it
  • Run and update the edge devices remotely
  • Keep up with automation brands and controller generations
  • Filter, map and store the data, then serve it through APIs

Our partner

  • Energy expertise
  • Monitoring, analytics and maintenance
  • The customer relationship and the service contract
  • New services on the same data

How it works

1

An edge device at every site

A Nobody edge device sits next to the existing automation and reads it. We run and update it remotely, and all process data is stored in a time-series database built for it.

2

Mapping that doesn't start from zero

A semi-automated process filters the points and renames them to the company's own naming convention. That takes hours out of every new site.

3

Only the data that's needed

Custom API endpoints serve filtered, mapped and pre-processed data, including alarms and hourly and monthly energy KPIs.

4

Analytics on standard tools

The company's analytics run on standard business-intelligence tools, with our APIs as the backend.

What this enables

  • Faster onboarding. New sites are mapped semi-automatically instead of by hand.
  • Less data, better data. We collect everything, and only filtered and mapped points leave our platform.
  • No hardware of its own. Our partner adds sites without running an edge fleet.

New controller models are our job. We keep up with automation brands and generations, so adding a site needs no configuration work from the automation vendor.

Ready for new portfolios

The same setup works for buildings our partner didn't renovate itself. The installer adds the edge device from a phone: photos, serial number, controller model and connection details in one form. No separate integration project for each building.

What service companies get from this model

  • New sites are a configuration task, not an integration project
  • The same service, analytics and processes run across every building
  • A whole portfolio can be connected, whatever automation its buildings have

Running a service business on buildings you don't control? Pick one portfolio and we'll connect the first site. Data flows within hours of installation.
