View Inc. has unveiled what it calls the industry’s first complete, cloud-native platform to enable smart buildings.
The Smart Building Cloud provides real estate technology teams the platform and all software components required to connect, manage and optimize a portfolio of smart buildings with strong cybersecurity protection and maximum flexibility. The modular, open, secure platform — which extends from network to application — allows IT and digital innovation teams to securely consolidate and normalize building data from across their entire portfolio into a cloud-based environment and to drive reduced energy consumption and more efficient facilities management with pre-configured insights and automations. Open APIs and out-of-the-box integrations with over 40 real estate technology solutions such as SkySpark, Switch Automation, ThingWorx, Rise by VTS, Mapped and utiliVisor accelerate business value, View said.
The Smart Building Cloud can be deployed in both new and existing buildings, and in conjunction with or independently of View Smart Glass, View’s flagship product that uses artificial intelligence to optimize access to natural light and outdoor views while keeping occupants comfortable.
“At RXR, we have long recognized the transformative value of technology and smart buildings to give our customers the environment and the experience to thrive,” said Scott Rechler, chairman and CEO of RXR. “View provides the enterprise-grade technology backbone that’s needed to easily and securely add new devices and capabilities, as well as the real-time actionable insights needed to capture immediate business value.”
The Smart Building Cloud aggregates data from connected systems, sensors and applications within a building and applies data normalization and spatial contexts. Products in the Smart Building Cloud family include:
View Secure Edge — a plug-and-play edge-to-cloud solution that enables IT and digital innovation teams to securely connect new and existing buildings to the cloud; centrally manage building networks, systems, and data in the cloud; and deploy edge applications for real-time processing, insights, and optimizations. Secure Edge can be deployed by a building’s existing IT staff in less than a day.
View Remote Access — a secure access portal that enables IT teams to reduce the cost and cybersecurity risks of maintaining smart buildings by providing vendors and technicians with secure, auditable, time-bound remote access to building networks and devices.
View Building Performance — a configurable application and web-based tools that enable building managers to measure, optimize and automate building performance with comprehensive, contextual and actionable insights consolidated from disparate on-premises, and cloud-based systems.
View Workplace Experience — a configurable application and web-based tools that enable corporate facilities managers to create healthier, more efficient and more productive workplaces by uncovering actionable insights related to building health, space utilization, and workplace operations.
