WISAG & ICONICS: How IoT Makes Building Management Modular and Flexible

How can complex buildings – from critical industrial environments to zoos – be operated efficiently, sustainably, and securely? WISAG Automation Technology and ICONICS provide hands-on insights in this episode. The challenge: Diverse customer groups must comply with regulations such as the Building Energy Act and ESG reporting while reducing costs and ensuring comfort – all under increasing complexity from new technologies, security requirements, and heterogeneous legacy systems. The solution: WISAG, acting as a system integrator, relies on the GENESIS64 platform from ICONICS, marketed under its own brand name, INSCONTROL 5.0. It offers universal connectivity to 98% of all common devices and protocols (including BACnet, OPC, KNX), low-code/no-code configuration, and flexible modules for visualization, historization, business intelligence, and more. Projects range from retrofitting outdated software to refrigeration solutions achieving up to 90% energy savings, to networking LoRaWAN sensors for special applications such as penguin enclosures. The result: Energy and maintenance costs can be significantly reduced – proven by reference projects such as the Microsoft Campus, which saved 100 million USD in ten years. At the same time, the platform creates a foundation for new digital business models such as control quality monitoring. For decision-makers in facility management, industry, and critical infrastructure, this episode offers concrete use cases and strategies on how IoT technology and building automation can deliver real business value.
