>./industries/bms-integration/brownfield-industrial-plants·cluster 06 · Niagara/BACnet · LoRaWAN extends

your Niagara · extended with LoRaWAN · without touching the supervisor.

A brownfield industrial plant already has Niagara or BACnet running HVAC, boilers, chillers. But the BMS does not reach the remote shed, the perimeter, the outdoor electrical room, the generator diesel tank. LoRaWAN sensors cover those gaps and publish data to the existing Niagara supervisor via the BMS integration gateway bridge — and to the AstreaIoT cloud in parallel. Without replacing the BMS · without touching the supervisor.

what's at stake
legacy BMSNiagara/BACnet operating · any replacement is a multi-million project
uncovered zonessheds, perimeters, outdoors where Wi-Fi/cable does not reach
STPS auditsthermal and noise conditions in unmonitored zones
>./puntos·point by point

this is how we look after your building, from the inside.

Each number is a point where a wireless sensor works for you — and the specialist tells you what to do. You install only the ones that apply to your building. The color says what each one protects:

filter:
your building · over the planisometric map of a corporate building
1smart climate ★we cool only what's occupied; we show you the saving in kWh
2service entrance · main panelthe CFE bill in real time: demand and power factor before the surcharge
3server roomwe alert you to heat or water before you lose the critical equipment
4air quality per floorcontinuous CO₂ and comfort: evidence for LEED and STPS
5restrooms · water leakswe alert you to the overnight leak before the damage
6elevatorsthe current signature that catches wear before the breakdown
7lobby · footfallwe show you how many people and when, for staffing and security
8sub-panel per floorwe separate the AC from the lighting: you see where the bill goes
9cistern · waterwe alert you before you run out of water in the building

★ the specialist crosses signals. In climate (1) it crosses occupancy × consumption: it cools only what's used and measures the saving in kWh. Already have a BMS (Niagara, BACnet, Modbus)? We integrate it read-only into the same panel — one place for the whole building.

>./workflow·how the data travels

from sensor to report · every five minutes · without human intervention

Five steps. They run in parallel across all your sites, all the time. When something crosses a threshold, the flow completes in under five minutes — alert delivered, response logged, inspector-ready evidence captured.

01

measure

Sensors measure temperature, humidity, current, door-open, leak and other magnitudes every five minutes — no operator required.

02

detect

The system compares each reading against the threshold configured per recipe · per site · per equipment. Threshold crossing triggers the flow.

03

alert

The alert routes to the right person via WhatsApp, email or push · per role and schedule configured.

04

respond

The operator acts from the dashboard or mobile app. The corrective action goes into an immutable log with timestamp + signature.

05

audit

Everything becomes part of the audit package · time series, critical events, corrective actions, NOM report ready in two clicks.

Five steps · no manual operators · no paperwork · no gaps.

>./faq·VI · common questions before the quote

common questions · before the quote.

does AstreaIoT replace the existing Niagara BMS?

No · AstreaIoT extends the legacy BMS · does not replace it. Niagara keeps controlling HVAC, boilers, chillers. LoRaWAN covers zones the BMS does not reach (sheds, outdoors, generator) and publishes data to the existing Niagara supervisor via the BMS integration gateway bridge in parallel.

what exactly does the BMS integration gateway bridge do?

BMS integration gateway is a gateway that takes LoRaWAN data and publishes it in two protocols in parallel: MQTT to the AstreaIoT cloud + BACnet/IP to the Niagara supervisor. Read-only at launch · write/control will come later with certification. Direct-imported (~$900 USD).

is it compatible with Niagara 4 and BACnet/IP?

Yes · Niagara 4 (Honeywell/Tridium), BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU. The existing Niagara integrator maps the new LoRaWAN points in their operator station without touching the supervisor configuration.

does it require operational shutdown to install?

No · installation without shutdown. Sensors are external LoRaWAN · mounted without touching BMS or existing cabling. BMS integration gateway connects to the Niagara BACnet/IP network as another node · zero impact on the supervisor.

what if the existing Niagara integrator wants to participate?

Better · we work directly with your Niagara integrator so mapping is done with their methodology. Partner agreement available if the integrator wants to certify in AstreaIoT as a complementary service layer.

does it integrate with the plant WMS or ERP?

Yes · via Custom Integration. Brownfield operations data arrives at WMS (SAP EWM, Oracle WMS) or central ERP. AstreaIoT delivers data via REST API + webhooks · your IT team integrates with the backend.

what about the existing Niagara warranty?

Not affected · BMS integration gateway bridge is a standard BACnet/IP node that connects like any other equipment vendor. Honeywell/Tridium warranty stays unchanged.

>./roi·VII · why this is good business

extend BMS · not replace.

extend
legacy BMS · no replacement · coverage in hours not weeks · no civil work

For a brownfield industrial plant with existing Niagara/BACnet, the ROI is not replacing the legacy BMS (multi-million project, operational shutdown, team retraining) · it is extending it with LoRaWAN in critical zones the BMS does not reach. Sensors in hours · no civil work · no shutdown · no supervisor reconfiguration.

The winning argument is the combination of operational continuity + expanded coverage + STPS compliance. The existing Niagara integrator does not compete with AstreaIoT · they can work with us to deliver the end client a more complete BMS without replacement.

The decision is not whether to invest; it is how much it costs not to when the next STPS audit of unmonitored zones arrives or the next blackout without a ready generator.
