One app to eliminate data grid-lock for mission critical systems

Motion.cloud is a cloud-based building intelligence platform that uses AI to connect and optimize all your building systems. In simple terms, it layers smart analytics and monitoring on top of your existing equipment to provide guided support for better operations. By unifying fragmented, siloed, and often outdated building systems into one intelligent cloud platform, Motion.cloud helps improve energy efficiency, streamline operations, and boost overall building performance. Instead of viewing HVAC, lighting, security, and other systems separately, Motion brings them together so you have a single source of truth for your facility data – turning your building’s operations into a proactive, data-driven part of your business.

Motion simplifies facilities management by tackling one of its biggest challenges: fragmented building systems. Traditionally, HVAC, lighting, security, and other critical infrastructure are managed through siloed platforms, often from different vendors, that don’t communicate with one another. This disjointed approach makes it difficult to understand what’s happening across an entire building or portfolio.Motion eliminates these silos by aggregating data from outdated and disconnected systems into a single, intelligent platform. The result is a unified, real-time view of building operations that empowers facilities teams to make faster, smarter decisions.

Traditional BMS or Building Automation Systems (BAS) are often vendor-specific and limited to controlling equipment like HVAC within a single building. While they may offer basic features such as alarms and scheduling, these systems usually operate in isolation and often require on-site access or specialized expertise to manage effectively.

Motion changes that. It’s a vendor-agnostic platform that layers advanced capabilities, like AI-guided analytics and cloud connectivity, on top of your existing infrastructure. It can aggregate data from multiple platforms or controllers across different sites, allowing you to manage them all from a single, unified interface.

By analyzing usage patterns and equipment efficiency, Motion highlights opportunities to cut energy waste. It can, for example, identify areas to adjust HVAC settings or scheduling to avoid unnecessary run time, directly lowering energy bills. Real-time energy visualizations let you pinpoint where electricity, gas, or water is being wasted and take corrective action.

Beyond direct cost savings, Motion improves daily operations. It consolidates information that staff might otherwise spend hours compiling. Automated reports and AI insights reduce the manual effort for analysis and audits. Your team can focus on solving issues rather than hunting for data. Consistent comfort and quicker issue resolution also lead to happier occupants (tenants, employees, customers), which can have indirect financial benefits (e.g. higher tenant retention).

Motion uses enterprise-grade security, data encryption, and compliance standards to keep your information safe and your operations running smoothly. Motion's platform is encrypted end-to-end and designed to work with existing firewalls, no complex VPN setup required. Once your data is in the cloud, data from different systems (using protocols like BACnet or Modbus) is aggregated and standardized into a common format. Users then access the Motion platform through a web browser or mobile app to see real-time dashboards, receive alerts, and control devices remotely.
