iNut Platform for Smart Buildings: The Foundation for Contractors to Fully Own Their Projects

iNut Platform for smart buildings: a Field → iNut PC (edge) → iNut Platform (cloud, self-hosted) architecture that lets contractors fully own their projects under their own brand. iNut is not the final vendor — flexible, optimized, budget-friendly, any size, we've got you.

SMART BUILDING

A platform for smart buildings — built for contractors to own the whole project

iNut Platform delivers a complete toolkit — Field → iNut PC (edge) → iNut Platform (cloud, self-hosted) — for contractors to deploy smart building solutions under their own brand.

iNut is not the final vendor. We hand you the platform — you own the project. Flexible, optimized, for every budget: any size, we've got you.

Modern buildings are getting "smarter" — but also increasingly energy-hungry, fragmented, and hard to control. HVAC, lighting, elevators, fire safety, power and water — each system its own software, each vendor its own protocol. Building owners want centralized monitoring, lower operating costs, and progress toward ESG/Net-Zero goals; contractors need a platform powerful, open, and flexible enough to bundle it all into one complete solution under their own brand.

That's exactly where iNut fits in: a foundational platform — not a turnkey vendor competing with the contractor for the job.

The problem facing modern buildings

6 challenges facing modern buildings

Six familiar bottlenecks: rising energy consumption, fragmented systems that are hard to manage, lack of real-time monitoring, high maintenance costs, insufficient data to optimize operations, and difficulty reaching ESG / Net-Zero targets. Solving these six doesn't take a "super product" — it takes a platform that connects everything and puts the data back in the operator's hands.

BEFORE

Fragmented systems, each running on its own

  • Dozens of software tools, dozens of accounts, dozens of protocols
  • Issues detected late, with no alerts
  • Data scattered everywhere, hard to optimize operations
  • Vendor lock-in, ballooning costs
WITH THE iNut PLATFORM

One unified, real-time platform

  • A single screen for the entire building
  • Instant alerts, act the moment an issue emerges
  • Self-hosted data, ready for AI & reporting
  • Open standards, configured to fit your budget — any size, we've got you
01

iNut platform architecture

iNut follows the classic three-layer model, but open and lightweight: sensors/devices at the Field layer, the iNut PC edge controller at the Edge layer, and iNut Platform at the Cloud layer — running self-hosted so data always stays in the project owner's hands.

Product suite — mix and match to fit your budget

iNut doesn't sell one expensive "all-in-one" box. You combine exactly what the project needs: iNut PC as the edge controller, iNut Datalogger for self-hosted data logging, iNut RS485 as the Modbus RTU gateway, iNut LCD HMI for on-site operation, and iNut Platform for centralized monitoring on the cloud.

iNut platform product suite
iNut PC (Edge)

Collects, processes & runs logic on-site, then pushes data to the cloud.

iNut Datalogger

Self-hosted data logging server with long-term storage — your data, in your hands.

iNut RS485

Modbus RTU gateway, connecting sensors & industrial devices across brands.

iNut LCD HMI

Touchscreen display & control right at the electrical cabinet.

iNut Platform

Cloud SCADA/HMI platform: centralized monitoring, alerts, reporting, API.

03

iNut is a PLATFORM — not the final vendor

This is the core difference. iNut does not sell turnkey solutions directly to building owners and does not compete with contractors. We stand behind the scenes, providing the platform so that contractors — M&E contractors, systems integrators, BMS installers — can own the entire project, put their own brand on it, and keep the full value and the customer relationship.

YOUR PLATFORM — YOUR BRAND

iNut isn't as big as Advantech — but it's flexible, optimized, and fits every budget. From a single electrical cabinet with a handful of measurement points to an entire complex, the platform scales to match each project's budget. No forced bundle purchases, no hardware lock-in: any size, we've got you.
04

What contractors gain

Centralized monitoring

One screen for all electrical, water, HVAC, and lighting systems — instead of a dozen separate applications.

Real-time data

Instant status & alerts, so operational decisions happen the moment an issue starts to emerge.

Lower maintenance costs

Condition-based maintenance instead of fixed schedules — fewer breakdowns, less labor.

Progress toward ESG / Net-Zero

Transparent energy metering, optimized consumption, and hard data for emissions reporting.

05

One platform — every type of facility

On the same platform, contractors can deploy solutions across any sector: factories, hospitals, schools, shopping malls, data centers… Open standards make it easy to integrate existing equipment without ripping everything out and starting over.

A trusted platform to put your name on

iNut - a science & technology enterprise, self-hosted data, open standards

iNut is a certified Science & Technology Enterprise (certificate 03/DNKHCN), in full command of its core technology. Data is self-hosted, so project owners retain full control with no vendor lock-in. The platform speaks open standards (Modbus RTU/TCP, BACnet) to integrate multi-vendor devices — a solid foundation for contractors to confidently put their own brand on top.

The silent infrastructure behind every smart building

A smart building doesn't need to carry the name of whoever built the platform behind it. What matters is that contractors have a foundation open, flexible, and reliable enough to turn a building owner's vision into reality — their own way, on each project's own budget.

iNut chooses to stand right there: quietly behind the scenes, so the name on the front is yours.

So your next project — how smart do you want it to be?
