Linksper is a BOS, a middleware between Equipment and Services, a facilitator between data producers and data consumers, an enabler for exchanging data between building applications.
What's a Building Operating system
A BOS is a core platform integrating data from heterogeneous sources into a single unified interface. Its goal is to provide meaningful information to services so they can easily create added value for occupants, FM, PM, EM or owners...
A BOS allows any digital service provider to easily connect to the building and learn what's inside. Every piece of data in the BOS is self described making the deployment of a service very easy and automated (similar to an app installation on a phone) and avoids any change to the current infrastructure of a building every time a new service is added.
Beyond data accessibility, the role of a BOS is to hide the complexity of the field (OT) with heterogenous devices and protocols to provide meaningful data on the IT side, so each service doesn't need to develop connectors to every equipment.
Linksper
Linksper is a BOS designed & edited by VayanData. It is Niagara Framework based, standardized, fully connected with many services and easily extensible.
Linksper has four pillars:
- Dynamic Data integration: all the data from traditional BMS equipment, IoT and heterogeneous data coming from silos
- Static Data integration: all the models used to describe the building and its assets like a BIM model, a CMMS equipment tree, a metering hierarchy...
- Internal apps: used to visualize data and monitor service connections
- Services integration: several tools to facilitate integration of external services using a well documented API and generic real-time connectors
