Connected systems and operational intelligence

Integration & Data Review

A review of how systems connect, communicate and produce usable data, identifying where integration quality, point mapping or data confidence is limiting decision-making.

What changes after this review

  • A clear map of what is connected, what data is trustworthy and where gaps remain.
  • Root causes identified for data quality issues, integration failures and missing operational visibility.
  • A remediation plan that distinguishes configuration fixes from architectural change.

Is this right for you?

This is the right service if...

01

Organisations with connected systems that still fail to produce a coherent operational picture.

02

Technical, IT or energy teams dealing with unreliable data, failed integrations, missing visibility or inconsistent reports.

03

Estates preparing for system expansion, platform migration, portfolio reporting or data-led optimisation.

Common questions

Before you get in touch

Which protocols do you cover?

BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, OPC-UA, REST APIs, IEC104, LoRaWAN, Zigbee and most proprietary and wireless IoT protocols. The review focuses on whether the integration produces reliable operational intelligence.

Can this include energy data analysis?

Yes. Consumption profiles, demand patterns, asset performance exports, anomaly detection and reporting quality can be included where data confidence affects decisions.

Does this cover IoT and connected sensor infrastructure?

Yes. IoT and AIoT sensor environments are within scope, across asset performance monitoring, predictive maintenance, environmental and operational sensing applications. The review focuses on whether devices are integrated reliably and producing data that operational systems can trust.

Which protocols and integration standards can you assess?

BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, OPC-UA, REST APIs, IEC 104, LoRaWAN, Zigbee, Sparkplug and most proprietary and wireless IoT protocols. The assessment focuses on whether the integration produces reliable operational data, not just whether a connection exists.

Do you replace the integration as part of this review?

No. The review produces a clear picture of what is failing, why, and who is responsible for fixing it. Remediation is the client's decision. We can advise on approach and provide technical context for contractor briefings, but we do not carry out integration work.

What if the problem is with the vendor's own product?

That is a common finding. If the evidence points to a vendor product defect, misconfiguration or undisclosed limitation, the review documents it clearly so the client can raise it with the vendor from a defensible position.

Can you review an integration that is partially working?

Yes. Partial integrations are one of the most common review scenarios. Intermittent data loss, selective point failures, timestamp inconsistencies and protocol mapping errors are all within scope.

What does a point mapping assessment involve?

We compare the declared point list against live data behaviour, assess naming conventions, engineering units, scaling, data types and read/write behaviour, and identify where mapping errors, gaps or inconsistencies affect operational visibility.
