What is a BMS?
A BMS — Building Management System — is the control system that runs a building's HVAC, lighting, and energy infrastructure. It's also the largest underused source of operational data in modern facilities.
A building management system (BMS, sometimes BAS — Building Automation System) is the network of controllers, sensors, and actuators that operate a building's HVAC, lighting, and increasingly its electrical and water systems. Major vendors include Siemens (Desigo), Schneider (EcoStruxure), Honeywell (Niagara), Trend, and Bastec.
Every modern BMS logs telemetry — supply-air temperatures, energy consumption, valve positions, alarm states. That data is operationally critical and historically under-exploited. BMS analytics — and, beyond that, sensor intelligence — is the layer that converts that telemetry into operator decisions.
FrostLogic Explore reads from a BMS via standard protocols (BACnet, Modbus, OPC UA) or vendor APIs. The connection is read-only by default — Explore adds intelligence on top, it does not replace your control system.

FrostLogic Explore
This is the engine that ships sensor intelligence as a product. Anomaly detection across six methods, forecasting with explicit confidence bounds, continuous compliance, and what-if simulation — all grounded in your own telemetry, all explainable, all auditable.
