Johnson Controls has taken its rich heritage in HVAC, controls, energy management, security and safety to drive digital transformation for customers through a portfolio of solutions and platforms. In the past year the following achievements contributed to its recognition as IoT Innovator of the Year:

  • Digital Vault – Johnson Controls developed and launched the world’s most advanced digital cloud platform for ingesting, processing, analyzing, and managing building and related enterprise information called Digital Vault. The platform has been used as a foundation to develop solution offerings for Johnson Controls as well as customers to enable their digital transformation.
  • Enterprise Management – the leading energy, asset, occupant, and tenant billing management system, JEM proactively analyzes building data across the enterprise. Implemented for over 100 customers with nearly 2,000 buildings on five continents in the past year, this platform helps customers identify opportunities for savings and efficiencies.
  • Connected Converged Security – the most advanced digital security platform that moves security from a reactive and investigative posture to a predictive and proactive posture by leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence on data coming from security sensor systems, enterprise IT systems, people systems, facility systems, event feed, weather and social media. This solution performs threat hunting, threat model, and creates response scenarios based on that and allows customers to improve their security operations and consolidate them globally.
  • Connected Equipment and Services – this solution allows customers to improve the reliability and performance of their equipment systems through predictive diagnostics and machine learning. Customers can achieve additional savings through condition-based maintenance and reduced operating costs. Johnson Controls has connected over 1,600 customers, 5,000 buildings, and 75,000 equipment and systems through these IoT connected platform and solutions. More than 175 million samples get generated, collected, analyzed every day and more than 7,000 users benefit from these capabilities and save millions of dollars globally.
  • Central Plant Optimization (CPO) – the world’s only solution that leverages leading model predictive controls to cost optimize facility operations based on future forecasting of HVAC asset performance, building load requirements, changes in weather or occupancy, access to alternate energy resources, and participation in demand response programs. Customers have been able to save between 10 and 30 percent in central plant operations. Several customers like Kent State University have been able to earn more than $500k in six months through their participation in demand response program.
