Problem
Modern buildings generate vast amounts of data from disparate building automation systems (BAS), IoT devices, and analytics platforms, creating silos that hinder efficient management and optimization. Integrating and normalizing this data is complex and time-consuming, requiring specialized engineering expertise that is often scarce. This complexity prevents building owners and operators from leveraging data-driven insights to improve energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and maintenance practices across their entire portfolio.
Solution
Normal provides a data management platform that unifies and normalizes data from diverse building systems, enabling scalable and efficient building automation. The platform offers an open and extensible framework for integrating BAS, IoT devices, and analytics platforms, streamlining data acquisition and modeling. By standardizing data models and providing secure connectivity, Normal empowers integrators, facility teams, and software developers to deploy advanced building management solutions faster and more reliably. The platform's edge-only model ensures data security and control, eliminating the need for third-party SaaS subscriptions.
Target Audience
Normal targets system integrators, facility teams, software developers, building owners/operators, and OEMs who need a flexible, reliable, and easy-to-implement data management solution for building automation.
