Edge Semantics designs solutions that provide simple and easy to maintain structured data, allowing buildings to perform optimally.
Today’s buildings are awash with disparate data. Edge Semantics create software solutions that unlock building data and enable improved operational efficiency and deeper analytics.
System integration has existed for many years and every integration has its own complexities. While some are relatively straightforward, others can be very time consuming, complex and expensive to implement and maintain. With the implementation of data tagging, also known as Metadata, integration is now quite simple.

Metadata noun;
Data that provides information about other data.
Integrated Building Platform
Buildings have many disparate systems all performing critical functions within them; HVAC, security, space utilisation, fire, maintenance, vertical transport and energy to name just a few. These networked building systems operate as siloed applications with varying degrees of interconnectivity. Edge Semantics designs solutions that provide simple and easy to maintain structured data, allowing buildings to perform optimally.
Traditional integration is performed at the application layer to facilitate its specific requirements and operation. Unfortunately, this locks the data to that proprietary application.
Annexx separates metadata management from the application layer, meaning data is managed at site level. This allows any number of applications to use the data to provide Business Intelligence without the complexity of extracting, managing and maintaining the data.
Annexx SPG
Annexx SPG (Single Pane of Glass) provides a single user interface for all connected data. Unlike traditional user interfaces, Annexx SPG automatically creates graphics from the user’s query, meaning there are no fixed-data webpages. The displays operate in the same way as a Web-browser search engine; enter the search request, apply additional filters if needed, and the page is displayed instantly.
Real-time Data Export API
Annexx provides real-time data to 3rd party software applications. Annexx structures disparate system data into a unified RDF dataset for streaming via a live API.
