Product architect, lead developer & BMS integrator

Timeline

2020 - present

A complete operational platform spanning edge protocols, project engineering, deterministic control, graphics, alarming, schedules, automations, security, audit, and secure cloud access.

01

The problem

Traditional building platforms are protocol-first, difficult to explain, expensive to extend, and full of hidden state. Operators need clarity; integrators need exact technical control; organisations need a safe path from one local system to a connected estate.

02

The response

NovaCore separates protocol evidence from product truth. Stable points, explicit operational context, reviewed engineering actions, and a deterministic P1-P16 command model power the local platform. NovaCloud adds organisations, licensing, connected systems, projects, people, and outbound-only remote access without becoming a dependency for local operation.

// guided product tour

See NovaCore move from access to action.

Three focused walkthroughs show how users enter the platform, keep product knowledge close, and follow operational activity.

Step 01

Enter NovaCore

Start at secure sign-in and follow the first path into the operating workspace.

Step 02

Keep answers in context

Move through NovaCore documentation without breaking the product workflow.

0:12

Step 03

Follow important activity

See how notifications surface system activity and keep operators informed.

// scope

Local platform, cloud control plane, one product.

01

Protocol-neutral engineering

Discover and add devices and points from BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, HTTP, KNX, M-Bus, and virtual sources through one reviewed workflow.

02

Operational context

Model sites, floors, spaces, equipment, relationships, classes, and user-defined point meanings without sacrificing exact point identity.

03

Graphics and 3D

Build reusable operational graphics, bind live point state, navigate whole facilities, and move from estate context into equipment detail.

04

Control and evidence

Keep observations, commands, readback, quality, priority ownership, reachability, and audit provenance distinct and explainable.

05

Operations suite

Author schedules, alarms, trends, notifications, logbook entries, and When / If / Then automations over exact compiled targets.

06

Cloud control plane

Manage organisations, people, systems, projects, plans, signed licences, pairing, and short-lived remote access from NovaCloud.
