The Challenge: Building a Secure, Intelligent IoT Network
Our goal was ambitious:
✅ Create a closed, self-sustaining IoT mesh network.
✅ Develop AI-driven automation that optimizes energy use in real-time.
✅ Ensure security—no outside breaches, no external access.

By working with smart buildings, the Air Force, and other large-scale partners, we rapidly expanded our use cases—learning that this technology could revolutionize energy efficiency far beyond its initial scope.
The Solution: A Smarter Building That Learns
We deployed sensors across entire buildings, capturing and analyzing real-time data:
🔹 Occupancy Detection – AI learned usage patterns, automatically adjusting lighting, HVAC, and energy consumption.
🔹 Predictive Energy Management – Instead of blindly following a thermostat setting, our system analyzed weather data and historical trends to suggest more efficient temperature controls.
🔹 Real-Time Alerts – A dynamic dashboard provided instant insights on building performance, flagging potential inefficiencies before they became costly problems.

Over time, these incremental optimizations saved billions of dollars—not just in cost reductions but also in sustainability efforts and operational efficiency.
Design Execution: Making the Invisible Visible
The challenge of IoT UX is translating raw data into actionable insights. Our solution was a dashboard-driven experience with:
✅ A status overview of all properties—giving facility managers a clear, real-time view.
✅ Alerts & Notifications—ensuring maintenance teams addressed issues proactively.
✅ A Scalable Design System—flexible across all devices and global locations, accommodating field workers and corporate teams alike.

Final Takeaway
Conectric IoT transformed energy management from a reactive process into a predictive science. By working backwards from customer needs and field challenges, we built a secure, self-sustaining network that reduces waste, saves money, and improves efficiency.
The power of design in IoT isn’t just in making data accessible—it’s in making it actionable. Through smart automation, predictive insights, and a seamless UX, we created a system that empowers businesses to make better energy decisions—before they even realize they need to. 🚀
Of course the design system was able to reach across all devices. It was really important that we accommodated all the countries we work in as well as all the field workers who will utilize our platform.
