LEXI Managed Edge — connect the building, process data locally, manage every edge from one place. Bring devices, building systems and applications together through a managed edge layer built for heterogeneous environments and ongoing fleet operations. Capabilities: multi-protocol connectivity, data normalization & context, local rules & orchestration, gateway AI & local intelligence, upstream integrations, OTA & fleet management, and managed edge operations.
Multi-protocol connectivity — one managed edge for the systems already in your building. Connect each asset through the interface designed for its role. LEXI Managed Edge brings building systems, smart meters and IoT devices into a common operating layer without forcing every asset onto one network. Each category uses the protocols suited to its equipment while applications receive a consistent path to the data. Connect building systems through BACnet or Modbus. Connect smart meters through M-Bus, Modbus or LoRaWAN. Connect IoT devices through LoRaWAN, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, BLE or Wi-Fi.
Data normalization & context — turn device traffic into usable building data. Handle protocol differences at the edge before data reaches applications. Decode, de-duplicate and format device messages locally so upstream systems receive cleaner, more consistent information. Shared time, location and asset context helps data from different networks participate in the same operational workflows. Process data from multiple device and equipment networks. Add common context across assets, locations and protocols. Support bidirectional communication between connected systems and applications.
Local rules & orchestration — keep decisions close to the building. Use local rules and orchestration for events that should not wait on a cloud round trip. Apply thresholds, policies and defined actions at the managed edge. Local execution supports real-time operational responses while the edge continues to exchange data, events and commands with cloud or on-premise services. 01 Run defined rules and control workflows locally. 02 Coordinate events across connected protocols and systems. 03 Forward alerts, logs and enriched data to upstream applications.
Gateway AI & local intelligence — run local intelligence on the LEXI Universal Building Automation Gateway. Move from simple data forwarding to intelligent processing at the gateway. The LEXI Universal Building Automation Gateway supports local processing and lightweight AI inference close to building data. This creates a foundation for context-aware detection, correlation, forecasting and local orchestration across occupancy, energy, air quality, water and other operational use cases. Aggregate and process data near its source. Apply models, rules, guardrails and thresholds at the edge. Send events and enriched results upstream instead of relying only on raw data streams.
Upstream integrations — connect the edge to the systems your teams already use. Integrate building operations without creating another isolated data path. Exchange data and events with cloud platforms, on-premise systems and enterprise workflows through common interfaces. Managed Edge can participate in architectures that include building automation, energy management, network controllers, dashboards, analytics and service workflows. Standard interfaces: support REST, webhooks, MQTT and HTTPS for seamless integration. Connect existing systems: integrate with building automation and energy-management environments. Power operational workflows: feed dashboards, analytics, notifications and downstream applications.
OTA & fleet management — manage software across the gateway fleet. Keep distributed edge software current through controlled remote operations. LEXI gateways support over-the-air software and firmware updates with signed artifacts, encrypted delivery, phased deployment groups and per-device status visibility. Dual-partition installation and automatic rollback help gateways recover to a known-good version when an update does not complete successfully. Target updates by site, building, device group or hardware revision. Validate releases through controlled rollout rings before wider deployment. Review software versions, deployment history and device-level outcomes.
Managed edge operations — operate the edge as a managed service. Keep your building operations running with proactive monitoring, lifecycle management and expert support. LEXI Managed Edge can be delivered as a fully managed service, giving you a simpler way to operate a distributed edge environment. From onboarding and configuration to monitoring, updates and support, we take care of the complexity so your teams can focus on outcomes. Setup and onboarding: device provisioning, configuration and secure deployment at scale. Monitoring and updates: proactive monitoring, firmware and software updates with minimal disruption. Expert support: ongoing support, remote diagnostics and lifecycle management.
