Switch Automation Introduces Intel Market Ready Solution

Integrations

Connect your Existing Building and Enterprise Systems

Modern building portfolios rely on dozens of systems, platforms and technologies. Switch is designed to bring these systems together, creating a unified operational view without requiring organizations to replace existing investments. Using open standards, APIs and industry protocols, Switch connects building systems, enterprise applications, IoT devices and operational technologies into a trusted digital foundation.

Why Integrate with Switch

Most organizations operate a mix of vendors, technologies and generations of building systems.

Switch is vendor-neutral and designed to integrate with existing infrastructure, enabling organizations to modernize operations without creating vendor lock-in.

Our approach supports both operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) environments, helping bridge the gap between building systems and enterprise applications.

Open by Design

Vendor-neutral and built on open standards to integrate with existing infrastructure without vendor lock-in.

Broad Compatibility

Connect OT and IT systems across building, enterprise, cloud and IoT environments.

Real-Time Insights

Enable real-time data exchange, event-driven integrations and trusted operational visibility.

Built to Scale

From a single building to global portfolios — scale and evolve your technology ecosystem.
