Overview

The whole Senfi cloud-based managed monitoring and alerting service is made up of the following components:
- 3rd Party On-premise Systems
- Buildings have on-premise systems such as BMS, Chiller, Fire alarm, Access Control, VMS/CCTV etc., which requires unification for single pane of glass monitoring.
- 3rd Party Cloud-based Systems
- Buildings can also have cloud-based systems such as OpenBlue, Advantech, KONE, Conrac etc. to be unified.
- Connectors
- Senfi communicates with on-premise and cloud-based systems via Connectors built on standard communications protocol for building automation and control systems such as BACnet, OPC UA, Modbus etc.
- Senfi API
- The Senfi platform offers an open API to allow integrations with external systems.
- BIM Services
- Senfi is able to ingest BIM models, 3D models prepared in 3D modelling software, or User drawn models as the basis of the Digital Twin.
- Ingestion
- Senfi ingest data from external systems and stores them in Senfi cloud via Metrics, Measurements and Assets. These data are then integrated with the 3D model to provide a live Digital Twin.
- Workflow
- Using the ingested data, Senfi's autonomous intelligence rules engine allows Users to configure workflows to automatically monitor/manage building operations.
- Event
- Workflows can generate Events, and Users can define the actions (e.g. sending out notifications, commands etc.) to be executed when the event is triggered.
- Alarm
- For notable events generated, Users can raise them as an alarm to bring attention to the special situation.
- Streaming
- Senfi supports on-demand streaming of data such as video footage from CCTVs.
- Admin
- Visualization
