The future is autonomous: Reduce your energy costs in the long term with intelligent, real-time AI control
- Oxoia AUTOMATE
Did you know that...
... a modern building generates over 10,000 data points every day, which a human being could never possibly optimise manually in real time?

... manual optimisations often only take effect days after a change in the weather?

... 90% of all manual HVAC savings are lost after 12 months due to changes in user behaviour?

... Could building automation reduce the workload in technical facility management by up to 40% and significantly ease the burden on your specialist staff?

APPLICATIONS
Examples of problems that Oxoia can solve
The current control system does not take into account forecast weather data. The control system always operates with a delay.
The use of rooms is not monitored and the systems operate on a fixed schedule.
Existing systems do not take into account the thermal behaviour of a room. Too much energy is being used.
The ventilation system cannot be adjusted to meet demand as the necessary sensor data is missing.
The current system does not take sufficient account of internal heat gains (heat generated by people and equipment) and generates unnecessary heat.
The benefits for you
Maximum efficiency without compromise: make your building work for you
Oxoia AUTOMATE represents the final stage in building optimisation. Our AI software takes over the active control of your systems and regulates them around the clock to achieve the optimal energy efficiency (i.e. minimum energy consumption). The result: maximum CO₂ reduction and cost savings, whilst eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
Automatische Echtzeit-Optimierung
The AI identifies cost-saving opportunities and implements them without human intervention.
Predictive control
The system responds proactively to weather forecasts before inefficiencies can arise.
Autonomous operation
Your operations will optimise themselves. Your team will be freed from repetitive manual tasks.
Guaranteed performance
System KPIs ensure that energy and indoor climate targets are met.
Smart monitoring
The system detects anomalies and alerts you before they have a significant impact on energy consumption and indoor climate.
Central overview
Full insight into the operation of all systems in real time, without needing to be on site.
HOW IT WORKS
The direct route to a self-sufficient building and minimal energy costs and CO2 emissions
Collect data
Seamless integration of your existing systems. By connecting to existing control systems, we lay the foundations for autonomous optimisation.
Find savings
The AI continuously identifies inefficiencies in the background, without you having to spend time analysing the data.
Receive recommendations
The system implements optimisations automatically and immediately. There is no need for manual adjustments or lengthy decision-making processes.
Reduce energy consumption
Sit back and relax. Your building maintains the optimum energy efficiency (i.e. minimum energy consumption) continuously and fully automatically, ensuring maximum savings.
Frequently asked questions
Here we answer frequently asked questions about application, technology and cost-effectiveness.
What is the main difference between Oxoia RECOMMEND and Oxoia AUTOMATE?
Whilst Oxoia RECOMMEND tells you, where you can save mone, Oxoia AUTOMATEimplements the optimisazions directly um. Die Software greift aktiv in die Steuerung der HLK-Anlagen ein, um Sollwerte in Echtzeit mit einer höheren Priorität anzupassen.
Is the AI software interfering with my building services in an uncontrolled manner?
No. Before Oxoia AUTOMATE takes over, we work with you to define parameters (e.g. minimum and maximum room temperatures). Furthermore, we start with Oxoia RECOMMEND and switch to Oxoia AUTOMATE at a later stage. The AI operates exclusively within these safety-related limits. You retain strategic control.
Can the in-house technician override the automatic system at any time?
Absolutely. People always come first. Your team can intervene manually at any time using an on/off switch. In this case, the software pauses the optimisation for the relevant area until automated control is reactivated.
How does Oxoia AUTOMATE respond to unforeseen events (e.g. sudden changes in the weather)?
Das ist eine grosse Stärke von Oxoia AUTOMATE. Da das System auch lokale Wetterprognosen in Echtzeit verarbeitet, reagiert die Heizung, Kühlung oder Lüftung vorausschauend, before die Temperatur im Gebäude sinkt oder steigt. Das verhindert Energieverschwendung durch träge Reaktionszeiten.
Does Oxoia AUTOMATE require a permanent connection to the building management system (BMS)?
Yes, a stable connection to the building management system (BMS) or field devices is required for active control. We use highly secure interfaces (edge gateways) for this purpose, which enable real-time two-way communication.
What happens if the internet connection is lost?
Safety first: if the connection is lost, the systems immediately revert to a defined “safe state” or to the default settings of your building management system. This means your building remains operational and at the correct temperature at all times. As soon as the connection is re-established, the software resumes optimisation.
How much greater is the potential for savings compared to manual optimisation?
Thanks to 24/7 monitoring and the immediate implementation of minor optimisations, the savings achieved with Oxoia AUTOMATE are typically 10–15% higher than those achieved through purely manual measures. Furthermore, there is no need for staff to implement the measures suggested by Oxoia RECOMMEND.
Is my building "ready" for Oxoia AUTOMATE?
A digital interface to your building services systems (e.g. BACnet/IP) is required. As part of a readiness check, our experts will assess your infrastructure in advance. Customers typically start with Oxoia RECOMMEND and activate the Oxoia AUTOMATE function at a later stage, once the data feed is stable.
How is IT security ensured when accessing systems remotely?
We use industry-standard security protocols. Connections are established via encrypted VPN tunnels, and our gateway acts as a firewall that only permits authorised control commands. Your internal IT networks remain strictly separated.
