ByPelion Press Team

Today,Pelion, theConnected IoT Device service provider, and subsidiary of Arm, jointly announced a partnership withJohnson Controls(NYSE: JCI), the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings. This partnership will accelerate innovation in connectivity, security and intelligence at the edge for Johnson Controls OpenBlue technology.

This partnership combines Johnson Controls deep domain expertise in healthy buildings with Pelions device and edge management capabilities to usher in an era of truly smart, updatable facilities at cloud scale. OpenBlues AI capabilities at the edge will consolidate diverse points of intelligence distributed across various floors, sites or even continents into insights and actions, creating an updatable building that can self-heal and evolve over its lifespan.

This innovation mirrors the automotive sector, where software, multiple sensors and AI-trained models have transformed the industry by enabling autonomous driving and software updates that blend data to continually improve vehicle capabilities and experience. Johnson Controls is applying the concept to the built environment. They will leverage Pelions flexible device management capabilities to unite diverse device types and application layers to feed AI models that respond to dynamic workloads.

Johnson Controls has the strategic foresight to rely on a partner to streamline the complexity of IoT device management security and secure firmware updates over the air. Pelions connected device platform will standardize the onboarding process for all systems, including the edge and endpoint devices that run on them, plus offer world-class public key infrastructure for secure and simple integration with third-parties.

This secure, open and flexible approach to device management will allow OpenBlue to run any device and hardware configuration, from hardware gateways to constrained temperature sensors.

In order to provide sustainable, low cost and low power intelligent processing at the edge, the partnership will utilize proven energy-efficient processors from Pelions parent company, Arm, which are a key part of Johnson Controls distributed hardware deployment.
