BuildOT One is a cloud-native smart building platform from MachineSens IoT. It brings energy, air quality, climate, equipment, facilities and sustainability data into one place for UAE buildings and portfolios. It works with our wireless LoRaWAN and NRF sensors and connects to existing systems, so a typical building goes live in about 30 days.

Platform modules
Each module works on its own and shares the same data, so you can start with one and add others as your needs grow.
Energy and Utilities
Electricity, water, chilled water and BTU consumption, cost and carbon across buildings and portfolios.
AirBMS
A cloud layer over HVAC and building systems for live monitoring, alarms and diagnostics without replacing your BMS.
Comfort and Climate
Zone-level temperature, humidity and setpoint visibility to find overcooling, overheating and comfort issues.
Air Quality and Wellbeing
Continuous indoor air quality monitoring for CO2, PM2.5, PM10, TVOC, temperature and humidity.
FM360
Integrated facilities management for work orders, assets and service teams on one platform.
Automation Hub
Schedules, rules and workflows that turn building data into automatic actions.
Predictive Center
Fault detection and predictive maintenance insights that flag equipment problems early.
BuildOT Copilot
An AI assistant that answers questions about your buildings in plain language.
Sustainability and ESG
Energy and carbon data for Scope 1 and 2 reporting across your portfolio.
AirTwin
A live digital twin of your buildings, built from survey to live in about 30 days.
Report Hub
Scheduled and on-demand reports for operations, finance and leadership.
Measurement and Verification
Baselines and savings validation for energy conservation measures.
Data Integration
Connectors, protocols and data management that bring devices and existing systems into one source of truth.
Space Management
Site, floor and zone structure with live room conditions shown on floor plans.
Asset and Property Intelligence
A structured register of sites, buildings, floors, assets and devices, with manuals and procedures attached and linked to live data.
Notification Intelligence Center
Routes alerts to the right teams, escalates unresolved issues and keeps an audit trail of every event.
How it works
- Install wireless sensors and meters. LoRaWAN and NRF devices fit existing buildings with no new cabling and little disruption.
- Connect everything to BuildOT One. Data arrives in the cloud, organised by site, building, floor and room. It can also feed an existing BMS over BACnet.
- Act on what the data shows. Teams use live dashboards, alerts, automation and reports to cut waste, fix faults and report with confidence.
BuildOT One in use across UAE buildings
- Higher Colleges of Technology. 10-parameter air quality sensors across 11 campuses and 59 buildings, with data shared to the campus BMS over BACnet.
- Dubai Holding Asset Management. Energy, water, BTU and air quality monitoring across 39 communities and 300+ buildings, rollout in progress.
- Private school in Dubai. A 10 to 15% energy saving with ThermoSense thermostats, AirBMS and an NRF gateway.
- Beachfront hotel in Ajman. Wireless meters at about 30% less cost than an RS485 retrofit.

Frequently asked questions
What is BuildOT One?
BuildOT One is the cloud platform from MachineSens IoT that turns building sensor and meter data into dashboards, alerts, analytics and reports. It is made up of 16 modules you can adopt one at a time.
Do I need to replace my existing BMS?
No. BuildOT One connects to existing systems over BACnet, Modbus and MQTT, so you can add a cloud layer on top of what you already run.
How long does it take to go live?
A typical building goes live in about 30 days. A survey to a live digital twin also takes about 30 days.
How much does it cost compared with a traditional BMS?
MachineSens typically costs 30 to 40% less than traditional wired BMS vendors, because wireless devices avoid most of the cabling and installation work.
