The man who makes legacy pieces connect to the IoT

Software for Smart Infrastructure

We want our buildings to become smart. But many of them contain devices that predate the IoT and cannot talk. Chris Casilli developed a middleware software that makes those legacy pieces connect to the IoT and function according to our needs. This makes data from inside buildings accessible and brings enterprise level IoT capabilities to buildings.

MSIB protects customer’s investments. It’s use brings a conservative 75 million Euro five year savings over other alternatives. And it scales extremely well: Through MSIB, buildings range from 100 to 100.000 data points transferred in near real time.
