MILWAUKEE – (Jan. 4, 2019) – Johnson Controls today announced that it has been named the
“Industrial IoT Innovator of the Year” from IoT Breakthrough, an independent organization that
recognizes the top companies, technologies and products in the global Internet of Things (IoT)
market today.
“It’s an honor to be recognized as a leading innovator in the IoT industry,” said Sudhi Sinha, vice
president and general manager of Digital Solutions at Johnson Controls. “While we are
constantly working to enhance our products and solutions to drive innovation, it is equally as
exciting to see increased interest from organizations who share our vision of bringing together
the physical and digital worlds through IoT and data-driven software solutions.”
The IoT Breakthrough Awards program recognizes the innovators, leaders and visionaries from
around the globe in a range of IoT categories, including Industrial and Enterprise IoT, Smart City
technology and more. This year’s program attracted more than 3,500 global nominations.
Johnson Controls Digital Solutions works at the nexus of data and business, working with its
customers to pull insights that allow for smarter buildings, increased efficiencies and new
business value. From using data from the customer’s own environment—building systems and
external sources—to uncovering insights which solve challenges and most importantly, helping
our customers achieve their business missions is our highest priority.
“Not only surviving, but thriving in any business after 130 years is impressive by itself, but
Johnson Controls stands out for driving digital transformation at an impressive rate with their
broad portfolio of Industrial IoT and digital solutions,” said James Johnson, managing director at
IoT Breakthrough. “Congratulations to Johnson Controls for their significant achievements in
driving IoT innovation and adoption throughout the year and we look forward to seeing
continued success from the Company. We are pleased to award Johnson Controls a marquee
2019 IoT Breakthrough Award winner.”
Johnson Controls has taken its rich heritage in HVAC, controls, energy management, security
and safety to drive digital transformation for customers through a portfolio of solutions and
platforms. In the past year the following achievements contributed to its recognition as IoT
Innovator of the Year:
 Digital Vault – Johnson Controls developed and launched the world’s most advanced
digital cloud platform for ingesting, processing, analyzing, and managing building and
related enterprise information called Digital Vault. The platform has been used as a
foundation to develop solution offerings for Johnson Controls as well as customers to
enable their digital transformation.
 Johnson Controls Enterprise Management – the leading energy, asset, occupant,
and tenant billing management system, JEM proactively analyzes building data across
the enterprise. Implemented for over 100 customers with nearly 2,000 buildings on five
continents in the past year, this platform helps customers identify opportunities for
savings and efficiencies.
 Connected Converged Security – the most advanced digital security platform that
moves security from a reactive and investigative posture to a predictive and proactive
posture by leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence on data coming from
security sensor systems, enterprise IT systems, people systems, facility systems, event
feed, weather and social media. This solution performs threat hunting, threat model, and
creates response scenarios based on that and allows customers to improve their
security operations and consolidate them globally.
 Connected Equipment and Services – this solution allows customers to improve the
reliability and performance of their equipment systems through predictive diagnostics
and machine learning. Customers can achieve additional savings through condition-
based maintenance and reduced operating costs. Johnson Controls has connected over
1,600 customers, 5,000 buildings, and 75,000 equipment and systems through these IoT
connected platform and solutions. More than 175 million samples get generated,
collected, analyzed every day and more than 7,000 users benefit from these capabilities
and save millions of dollars globally.
 Central Plant Optimization (CPO) – the world’s only solution that leverages leading
model predictive controls to cost optimize facility operations based on future forecasting
of HVAC asset performance, building load requirements, changes in weather or
occupancy, access to alternate energy resources, and participation in demand response
programs. Customers have been able to save between 10 and 30 percent in central
plant operations. Several customers like Kent State University have been able to earn
more than $500k in six months through their participation in demand response program.
