Building management systems face mounting pressure to meet new demands

Climate change, safety & cybersecurity, and operational efficiency are transforming building management systems (BMS). Climate change is driving investment into clean tech, pushing new government regulations and reimaging BMS into smart, distributed infrastructure management. The rapid adoption of new tech is merging safety and cybersecurity to protect connected buildings from increasingly sophisticated adversaries. Realizing operational efficiencies during COVID-19, BMS is becoming further distributed and remotely managed.

Enabling this transformation is one underlying element – ever-increasing connectivity and software in building infrastructure. To support this pivotal transition, the industry requires the infrastructure to manage devices across a heterogeneous ecosystem.

Deliver secure, robust, and fail-safe remote updates

Optimize operations and resource usage with delta, automated, phased, and dynamic grouping deployments. Ensure your devices or systems are never bricked and inaccessible with a fail-safe design.

Monitor your smart solutions in real-time

Mitigate risks and identify disruptions with system-wide log monitoring, automated alerts, and email notifications. Manage uptime with real-time visibility of services and applications across your building.

Configure devices and applications with ease

Manage and secure configuration changes with role-based access control, configuration history, and change log audits. Define attributes, customize scripts, and track configuration changes.

Troubleshoot instantly, and resolve quickly

Ensure safety and security with complete remote terminal session replays, connection logs, and access control. Diagnose and remediate issues immediately with real-time device or system access, file transfers, and device testing.

Gateway for network connectivity and caching

Deploy updates to devices that are not directly connected to the Internet, e.g., only via a segregated LAN. Reduce network traffic by order of magnitudes by caching software updates at one or more Mender Gateways in the building.

manage

Respect maintenance windows

Ensure that updates are only installed during maintenance windows, e.g., at night, by scheduling start time, and guarantee that devices are not in use by encoding arbitrary validation conditions in update packages.

secure

Cryptographic integrity verification

Ensure only authorized, integral binaries are installed on target systems with secure TLS communication between the building and server and cryptographic verification of binary signatures.

Mender was selected for its high technology and to provide secure software updates to embedded devices. Its history in community engagement and very good reputation with embedded engineers provided Vaillant with great reassurance of Mender’s suitability. The flexibility to accommodate and provide solutions for the specific hardware modules we have selected is also greatly appreciated.

Kai Pecka, End User IoT Product Manager

We were looking for a Best-of-Breed partner that could reliably deliver the service and hide the sheer complexity of OTA software updating behind the scenes and shield the business from this complexity.
