Turning multiple technologies into one intelligence.
NSB designs the links between building systems so that they can exchange information, work together and be controlled consistently.
Value does not come from accumulating technologies.
It comes from their ability to work together.
Each system has its own language, function and constraints. NSB builds the architecture that brings them together around building use.
Create the connections that make the building work as one.
Integration starts with an overall understanding of the project: expected functions, protocols, interfaces, technical constraints, operation and future development.
Systems architecture
Define how the different functions are organised, communicate and remain understandable across the project.
Interoperability
Create the necessary exchanges between different technologies where this brings tangible value to users or operators.
Gateways & protocols
Implement suitable interfaces to translate and transmit information between the relevant systems.
Programming
Turn the technical architecture into behaviours, automation, scenes and logic tailored to the project.
Monitoring
Bring useful information and controls together in a consistent interface, without exposing unnecessary technical complexity.
Commissioning
Test exchanges, validate behaviour and adjust the whole installation so that the systems work as intended.
Integration is at the heart of the process.
The NSB principle comes into its own here: gather relevant information, connect systems, then turn those exchanges into simple, controlled actions.
Status, measurements, occupancy, commands, events and building information.
Protocols, gateways, networks and integration logic between systems.
Automation, scenes, controls, monitoring and adaptation to use.
Choose the right language for each function.
No single protocol is ideal for everything. NSB designs the architecture around functions and requirements, prioritising consistency, openness and longevity.
An open standard particularly suited to building automation and technical functions.
A protocol dedicated to digital, addressable lighting management.
The network foundation for many devices, interfaces, monitoring systems and gateways.
The interfaces needed for exchanges between technologies where the project requires them.
Successful integration is measured not by the number of connected systems, but by the coherence of the whole.
Design before programming.
Programming is just one stage. The final quality depends first on the design, chosen architecture, coordination and precise definition of the expected behaviour.
Understand the requirements
Identify uses, constraints, functions and required interactions before choosing solutions.
Design the systems architecture
Define technologies, interfaces, exchanges and each system’s responsibilities.
Plan the interfaces
Work with the project team to avoid inconsistencies between trades.
Connect the technologies
Implement the communications and gateways required for overall operation.
Bring intended uses to life
Create the automation, scenes, controls and logic defined for the project.
Test and adapt
Commission, adjust and maintain an architecture that can support future uses.
One building, multiple systems
Lighting, shading, comfort, security, networking and monitoring can retain their own technologies while exchanging the information needed for a unified experience.
The aim is not to connect everything to everything.
It is to create only the interactions that make the building simpler, more coherent and easier to manage.
Integration starts long before commissioning.
NSB can help from the design stage to analyse requirements, define the technical architecture, advise on technologies, coordinate interfaces and deliver integration, programming and commissioning.
Build a coherent solution without having to navigate technologies and systems that speak different languages on your own.
You imagine the space. We design the intelligence that brings it to life.
