Smart Buildings

Modern smart buildings rely on complex HVAC, mechanical, and electrical systems that must operate continuously to support occupant comfort, energy efficiency, and safety. However, facilities teams often lack real‑time visibility into asset health and are forced to rely on reactive or schedule‑based maintenance.

This approach leads to unexpected equipment failures, costly downtime, shortened asset life, and disruptions that directly impact building performance and occupant experience. edgeRX™ addresses these challenges by bringing predictive maintenance intelligence directly to the edge of building systems. Through real‑time data collection and analysis, edgeRX™ gives facility teams instant visibility into equipment performance via a centralized dashboard.

Embedded predictive maintenance algorithms continuously evaluate operating trends to detect early warning signs of degradation—allowing teams to intervene before failures occur. By enabling proactive maintenance strategies, edgeRX™ reduces unplanned downtime, extends asset life, streamlines operations, lowers maintenance costs, and helps smart buildings deliver a more reliable, comfortable, and efficient environment for occupants.

Smart buildings are increasingly defined by their ability to seamlessly integrate IoT data, automation, and intelligence across building operations. TDK SensEI’s edgeRX™ is a purpose‑built predictive maintenance solution designed for smart building environments, providing continuous health monitoring of critical building assets such as HVAC systems, air handlers, motors, fans, and pumps that directly impact occupant comfort, energy efficiency, and operational reliability.

edgeRX™ continuously analyzes vibration and temperature trends to establish a baseline of normal asset behavior within the building and automatically detect recurring anomalies that indicate early signs of mechanical degradation. Configurable alert thresholds allow facilities and building operations teams to proactively respond to developing issues before minor performance changes escalate into system degredation or failure. With AI models embedded directly into each sensor, machine health is evaluated locally at the edge, enabling real‑time insights.
Designed for deployment at scale across a variety of buildings and internal infrastructure, edgeRX™ features low‑touch installation, SOC 2–compliant security, and a customizable dashboard. The solution enables building owners and operators to move from reactive, schedule‑based maintenance to a predictive, condition‑based strategy—improving system uptime, extending equipment life, reducing unplanned outages, and lowering total maintenance and energy‑related costs across the building portfolio.

Real-Time Visibility into Critical Building Systems

Buildings rely on complex, interconnected assets like HVAC units, chillers, pumps, and electrical systems. edgeRX™ delivers real‑time insight directly at the system level, giving facilities teams continuous visibility into equipment health without relying on delayed or centralized analysis. This immediate awareness enables faster response and better control over building operations.

Proactive Maintenance Without Operational Disruption

Instead of reacting to failures after occupants are affected, edgeRX™ enables proactive maintenance by identifying developing issues early and locally. By processing data at the edge, maintenance teams can address problems without disrupting building operations—reducing emergency work orders, avoiding tenant complaints, and keeping systems running reliably.

Scalable, Always-On Intelligence for Distributed Buildings

Smart building portfolios often span multiple floors, campuses, or locations. edgeRX™ provides a scalable maintenance foundation by running intelligence where systems reside, minimizing network dependency and simplifying deployment across buildings. This approach supports consistent maintenance strategies while lowering operational complexity and long-term costs.

edgeRX™ uses edge‑based AI to learn the real operating behavior of building systems in real time. Unlike solutions that rely on predefined fault rules or static thresholds, edgeRX™ identifies emerging fault states unique to HVAC, mechanical, and electrical systems—providing earlier detection and more actionable insights that help reduce disruptions and extend asset life.

edgeRX™ can monitor a wide range of building assets, including HVAC systems, chillers, air handling units (AHUs), pumps, fans, motors, cooling towers, and other critical mechanical and electrical equipment. The platform adapts to varying loads, occupancy patterns, and seasonal operating conditions.

edgeRX™ detects subtle changes in asset behavior that can lead to temperature, airflow, or humidity issues before occupants are impacted. By identifying early performance degradation, facilities teams can address problems proactively—helping maintain consistent comfort, indoor air quality, and system reliability.

Traditional building management systems rely on fixed rules and thresholds that often generate nuisance alarms during normal fluctuations. edgeRX™ uses adaptive AI models that understand what’s normal for each asset under changing conditions such as weather, occupancy, and load, alerting teams only when performance truly deviates.

Yes. By identifying inefficient operating patterns, equipment degradation, and abnormal energy use, edgeRX™ helps facilities teams address issues that drive excess energy consumption. This supports more efficient system operation, lower energy costs, and improved sustainability outcomes.

Yes. edgeRX™ can be deployed on a single critical system—such as a chiller or AHU—or scaled across an entire building or portfolio. This flexibility supports targeted maintenance efforts as well as broader smart building, asset longevity, and performance optimization initiatives.
