WAGO and Avelon are now joining forces to offer a joint cloud solution for the building market. Their shared vision is to contribute to the energy transition and greater sustainability in this sector with open building ecosystems.
The technology partnership will combine the strengths of both companies in the future: WAGO brings many years of expertise in automation technology for buildings – hardware as well as software; Avelon has established itself as a cloud and in-house provider for building management systems. Together, they now want to build a bridge between engineering, building management and sustainability in buildings. Both partners still see a lot of potential in better networking of buildings and in the interaction of trades: highly efficient engineering processes could simplify the technology and save a lot of energy and costs.
For WAGO, the partnership represents a further development of its digitalization offering in buildings and a decisive step towards becoming a holistic system provider for building automation. “The market can look forward to a new building automation system that uses future-oriented, open IT technologies from the controller to the cloud, as well as consistent, simple engineering. In short, this is a major and important step towards the building automation of the future,” says Dr. Heiner Lang, CEO at WAGO, summarizing the joint project.
The added value for customers is primarily the speed and quality gains generated by the seamless flow of information. Leo Putz, CEO at Avelon, adds: “The art of creating systems is to achieve maximum quality and efficiency in a limited amount of time. With the technology partnership, we are massively increasing this potential for our customers. Furthermore, marketable cloud solutions are possible with just one WAGO controller”. Concrete solutions from the technology partnership for the market are expected in 2023.
