AI development for Niagara Tridium and building automation is Software Depo’s most defensible specialty: we combine production AI-agent engineering with real operational-technology experience. The result is AI added around controlled Niagara workflows — reading data, drafting reports, triaging alarms, answering engineering questions — never given unrestricted control over a building.
The AI is ours. The Niagara engineering is delivered by our sister practice SoftwarePile, the SoftwareMile Niagara Framework development team — so every integration is grounded in genuine station and module expertise, not AI guessing at building systems.
Safety First, Always Read-Only to Start
Buildings are operational systems where a wrong command has physical consequences. Every AI-for-Niagara engagement starts read-only: the agent can query, summarize, and recommend, but any consequential action requires scoped permissions, validation, audit logging, and human approval. We add write capabilities only deliberately, one approved action at a time.
Niagara Knowledge Agent
Answers from your engineering standards, sequences of operation, customer SOPs, Niagara manuals, module documentation, commissioning records, service tickets, and site-specific notes — with citations, and respecting who is allowed to see what. It turns a filing cabinet of tribal knowledge into something a technician can query in plain language.
Niagara Alarm Triage Agent
Receives or queries an alarm, gathers related points, histories, and equipment context, compares the condition against SOPs and known faults, prepares a probable-cause summary, recommends checks, and drafts or enriches a service ticket — then requires human confirmation before any consequential action. It shortens the path from alarm to informed response.
Niagara Station Audit Agent
Automated checks across a station or fleet: missing histories, incomplete alarm routing, naming-standard violations, untagged equipment, disabled or stale points, license headroom, down devices, communication faults, and configuration inconsistencies — producing a prioritized, technician-ready report.
Niagara Engineering Copilot
Assists developers and engineers with BQL creation, Baja API examples, module documentation, code analysis, station-report interpretation, migration checklists, test-case generation, and error-log explanation — accelerating engineering work without replacing engineering review.
Niagara MCP Server
A secure MCP server that exposes only approved capabilities to AI — read station metadata, query histories, retrieve alarms, run approved reports, read module inventories, search documentation, create a draft ticket. It starts read-only; write actions are added only through scoped permissions, validation, audit logs, and approval steps. For independent security review of that boundary, our sister practice BulletproofSoft assesses AI and MCP deployments.
Automated Reporting
Daily alarm summaries, fleet-health reports, station-compliance reports, energy anomalies, software and module inventories, executive summaries, and technician-ready diagnostic packages — generated on schedule from live station data.
