Siemens Desigo integration
Siemens Desigo analytics, from the BMS you already run.
Explore reads your Desigo estate read-only, whatever its generation, and returns one ranked queue: what to fix first, where, and what it costs to wait.

The problem
The trend logs nobody reads.
A Desigo system does its job. It runs the schedules, holds the setpoints, raises the alarms. But Siemens Desigo analytics, as most estates actually run it, is a supervisor screen in the plant room and trend logs that nobody opens until something has already failed.
Explore reads those same points continuously. Every finding is grounded in the physics of your building by FrostDynamics, our world model, and lands in one queue, ranked by what ignoring it costs. The BMS keeps control of the building. You finally get to see what it knows.
What it does
From Desigo points to a ranked queue.
Anomaly detection on live Desigo data.
Six detection methods run on the points Desigo already trends: temperatures, valve positions, runtimes, energy. A compressor drifting out of its envelope shows up days before the alarm would have fired.
Faults ranked by cost, not noise.
Desigo raises alarms by rule. Explore weighs findings by money, comfort and compliance, so the queue starts with what matters rather than what's loudest.
Forecasts with confidence bounds.
Demand and consumption forecasts per building, checked against the physics. What-if simulation tests a setpoint change in the model before anyone touches the live system.
Compliance evidence, continuously.
BREEAM, LEED, Nordic Swan and EPBD evidence assembled from data Desigo produces anyway, instead of at audit time.
Deployment
Three routes into a Desigo estate.
BACnet, natively.
Desigo speaks BACnet. A small agent on the existing management PC reads the points directly and syncs read-only to Explore. Installed remotely, usually in an afternoon.
Cloud API.
Estate already cloud-connected? Then connecting is credentials, and data can flow the same day.
The old estate.
Commissioned in 2009, never upgraded, licence lapsed. Still connectable. The agent needs a PC that can reach the BMS network, and that's about it.
The question every Siemens estate asks
Desigo CC already has analytics. Why add Explore?
One model across every vendor.
Desigo's tools read Siemens. A real portfolio usually runs Siemens in some buildings, Schneider or Honeywell in others, plus meters and ten years of sensor retrofits. Explore reads all of it into one model, so a fault spanning two systems surfaces as one finding.
Physics, not a chatbot.
We once watched a pure-LLM pilot suggest switching off the AC at 30°C outside. Explore can't make that mistake. FrostDynamics checks every answer against the building's thermodynamics before it reaches your queue.
Nothing to rip out.
Keep Desigo CC if it earns its keep. Explore reads alongside it, read-only, whatever the system's vintage. Connecting is not a migration and doesn't need an integrator project.

Running Schneider or Honeywell alongside Siemens? Explore reads EcoStruxure and Niagara into the same model, and ranks across all of it with portfolio-wide BMS analytics. The analytics layer itself lives on the FrostLogic Explore platform page.
Before you ask
Siemens Desigo analytics, the questions we get.
No. Desigo CC keeps running the building. Explore reads the same points read-only and adds the analysis layer: detection, forecasting, ranking, evidence. Nothing about your BMS setup changes.
Yes. A small software agent on the existing management PC reads the system over BACnet and syncs read-only to Explore. You don't need a BMS cloud subscription or new hardware, and the lapsed licence can stay lapsed.
Anything that exposes its points over BACnet or OPC UA, which in practice covers current Desigo CC installations and the classic estates commissioned years ago. If yours runs something unusual, tell us what it is.
No, and that's deliberate. Explore ranks the decisions and shows the evidence; your team makes the change. Simulation happens in the model, never on the live system.
One. Explore normalises both estates into a single model and one queue. Mixed portfolios are the normal case, not the exception.
One building, three weeks. The agent goes in remotely, data accumulates, and a senior engineer walks you through what Explore found. If the queue isn't worth your time, you've lost three weeks.
Connect one building. Three weeks. We show you what we find.
Pick one building, even a couple of fan coil units. We connect it remotely, let two to three weeks of data accumulate, then go through the findings with you. There's nothing to install and no commitment past the pilot.
Remote and read-only. Senior engineer on the review call.
