“I have seen even the largest of Fortune 100 companies struggle to digitize their existing automation environments or obtain data in a repeatable and scalable form. Most commercial and industrial building systems and components use legacy protocols that are complicated, unstructured, and often vendor and install-specific,” said Cooley, founder and CEO, Mapped. “Energy efficiency, space optimization, maintaining a healthy environment, predictive maintenance, workforce planning, and even insurance in commercial real estate all depend on data, but enterprises struggle to obtain and use data at scale. Our technology simplifies data sharing across various systems and locations in a secure and reliable manner. Additionally, Mapped helps alleviate anxiety around COVID-19 safety, as data can be used in real-time to inform around personal distance adherence, filtration needs, and building capacity.”
