Schneider EcoStruxure integration
Schneider EcoStruxure analytics, with or without the cloud.
Cloud EcoStruxure connects with a client ID and a token. On-prem takes one agent install. Either way, your Schneider estate lands in one ranked queue, read-only.

The problem
You bought EcoStruxure. The data still never left the building.
We meet this constantly: the estate runs EcoStruxure Building Operation, but on-prem. The cloud tier was never bought, or the licence lapsed quietly years ago. So every point the buildings produce sits on servers nobody above building level can see, and Schneider EcoStruxure analytics stays a per-building affair.
One agent install fixes that. Explore reads the on-prem system read-only and syncs it out, then grounds every finding in the building's physics and ranks the whole estate into one queue. Cloud-connected buildings skip the agent; they connect with credentials.
What it does
From Building Operation points to a ranked queue.
Detection across the Schneider estate.
Six methods run on the points Building Operation already collects. The valve hunting in building 4 ranks against the schedule fault in building 11, by cost.
Forecasts and what-if.
Demand forecasts with confidence bounds, per building and for the estate. Setpoint changes get tested in the model before anyone touches a live system.
Compliance evidence, continuously.
BREEAM, LEED, Nordic Swan and EPBD evidence assembled from data the estate produces anyway.
Plays fine with vendor tools.
Running Building Advisor on some buildings? Keep it where it earns its keep. Explore reads the same points, covers the buildings Advisor doesn't, and ranks the whole portfolio in one queue.
Deployment
Three routes into a Schneider estate.
Cloud API.
EcoStruxure with the cloud tier connects with a client ID and a token. Data can flow the same day.
Agent for on-prem.
EcoStruxure Building Operation on a local server connects through a small agent, installed remotely, usually in an afternoon. It reads over BACnet, OPC UA or Modbus and syncs read-only.
The mixed estate.
Some buildings on the cloud, some on-prem, some still on StruxureWare-era systems. Explore reads each one by whichever route it offers and normalises the lot into one model.
The question every Schneider estate asks
Building Advisor already does analytics. Why add Explore?
One model, every vendor.
Building Advisor reads your Schneider buildings. The Siemens site you inherited last year, and the meters and sensors bolted on since, sit outside its world. Explore reads all of it into one ontology, and a fault that spans two systems shows up as one finding.
Physics, not a chatbot.
Most vendor AI assistants are a language model with access to your data. Explore's reasoning runs through FrostDynamics, a physical model of each building, so advice that violates thermodynamics never reaches the queue. We've seen what happens otherwise: one pure-LLM pilot we watched proposed killing the AC at 30°C outside.
Nothing to rip out.
Explore reads alongside whatever you run, read-only. Keep Building Advisor where it earns its keep. Add Explore where it doesn't.
At a glance

Mixed estate? Explore reads Siemens Desigo and Honeywell Niagara into the same model, and ranks across every building with portfolio-wide BMS analytics. The analytics layer itself lives on the FrostLogic Explore platform page.
Before you ask
Schneider EcoStruxure analytics, the questions we get.
Yes, and it's the most common setup we meet. A small agent on the Building Operation server reads the system and syncs read-only to Explore. One remote install, usually an afternoon, and the data finally leaves the building.
Coverage and grounding. Advisor analyses your Schneider buildings; Explore reads those plus everything else you run, checks findings against each building's physics, and ranks the whole portfolio in one queue. The two coexist fine.
No. Building Operation keeps running the buildings. Explore is the analysis layer on top, read-only.
No. It ranks the decisions and shows the evidence; the change happens in EcoStruxure, made by your team. Simulation runs in Explore's model, never on live plant.
Not to Explore. It normalises both into one model and one queue. Mixed estates are what it was built for.
Connection is a day or an afternoon depending on the route. First findings typically land within the first week of data flowing.
Connect one building. Three weeks. We show you what we find.
Pick one building, even a couple of fan coil units. We connect it remotely, let two to three weeks of data accumulate, then go through the findings with you. There's nothing to install and no commitment past the pilot.
