Systems that don't talk to each other
BMS, meters, and new sensors from different brands and protocols.
SOLUTIONS / NEXO
Narrowbits NEXO · Building integration
Connect your building's sensors and systems.
We add wireless meters and sensors to your BMS or EMS via BACnet, Modbus, and MQTT, with NBnano as the bridge, without rewiring the building.

The problem
The building has data. The BMS can't see it.
Rewiring is expensive
Adding a point to the BMS can cost more than the sensor itself.
Data without context
Consumption and environmental conditions stay outside the management system.
How it works
The BMS reads them as just another device.

STEP 1 / 5 · TODAY
The BMS sees only 12 points.

Technology
NBnano as the translator.
Client toward the field, server toward the building: it consumes LoRaWAN, Modbus, and BACnet, and exposes them as BACnet IP, Modbus TCP, MQTT, or API.

How we start
We start with a few points and scale up.
1
BMS review
Protocols, network and the points missing today.
2
Trial with 5 sensors
NBnano connected to the BMS and the first points visible.
3
Scale-up
Remaining rooms, switchboards and equipment, floor by floor.
Services
After installation, we stay with you.
CAREYour system, looked after.
Supervision, review of points with no data, incident handling and technical support.
LOGEvery record, whenever you need it.
Historical data, events and reports for reviews and audits.
NOWWhat you need to know to decide today.
Periodic summary of relevant changes, alerts and open items.
Frequently asked questions
What customers usually ask.
Which BMS platforms are compatible?
Any that reads BACnet IP or Modbus TCP. NBnano appears as just another device.
Is rewiring required?
Not for the wireless sensors. Only NBnano connects to the BMS network.
Can I view the data outside the BMS?
Yes, in NBcloud or via MQTT and API to other platforms.
Who maintains the integration?
We can operate it with CARE: monitoring, incident handling and support.
