Abstract

Systems and methods for building management utilizing adaptive edge processing are disclosed. The building system can store gateway components on storage devices. The gateway components can facilitate communication with a cloud platform and facilitate communication with a physical building device. The building system can identify a computing system of the building that is in communication with the physical building device. The physical building device can store one or more data samples. The building system can deploy the gateway components to the computing system responsive to identifying that the computing system is in communication with the physical building device. The gateway components can cause the computing system to communicate with the physical building device to receive the one or more data samples and cause the computing system to communicate the one or more data samples to the cloud platform.

Claims (14)

1. A building system of a building including one or more storage devices storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: store one or more gateway components on the one or more storage devices, the one or more gateway components configured to facilitate communication between a cloud platform and a physical building device; and deploy the one or more gateway components to a physical gateway, the physical gateway configured to communicate with one or more building devices and receive one or more data samples from the one or more building devices, wherein the one or more gateway components receive the one or more data samples and communicate the one or more data samples to the cloud platform; identify that a building device of the building running one or more services does not meet one or more requirements for running the one or more services; and cause the one or more services executing on the building device to be relocated to the physical gateway such that the one or more gateway components execute the one or more services; deploy an adapter service to the physical gateway, wherein the adapter service causes the physical gateway to communicate with a network engine and receive the one or more data samples from the network engine, the network engine configured to manage one or more building networks and receive the one or more data samples from one or more second building devices of the building via the one or more building networks; and wherein the adapter service causes the physical gateway to communicate with the cloud platform and communicate the one or more data samples to the cloud platform via the adapter service.

2. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions further cause the one or more processors to: identify one or more communication protocols of the one or more building devices that collect the one or more data samples; and deploy one or more integration components for the one or more communication protocols to the physical gateway to cause the physical gateway to communicate with the one or more building devices via the one or more communication protocols.

3. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more gateway components are configured to: detect a new physical building device connected to the physical gateway; search a device library for a configuration of the new physical building device; and perform at least one of: implementing the configuration to facilitate communication with the new physical building device responsive to identifying the configuration for the new physical building device in the device library; or perform a discovery process to discover the configuration for the new physical building device and store the configuration in the device library.

4. The building system of claim 3 , wherein the device library is stored in at least one of the cloud platform or on the one or more gateway components.

5. The building system of claim 3 , wherein the device library is distributed across a plurality of instances of the one or more gateway components in a plurality of different buildings.

6. The building system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more gateway components include a building service configured to generate data based on the one or more data samples.

7. The building system of claim 6 , wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to: identify one or more requirements for the building service, the one or more requirements indicating at least one of processing resources, storage resources, data availability, or a presence of another building service; determine that the physical gateway meets the one or more requirements; and deploy the building service to the physical gateway responsive to determining that the physical gateway meets the one or more requirements.

8. A method implemented by a building system of a building including one or more storage devices, the method comprising: storing, by one or more processors of the building system, one or more gateway components on the one or more storage devices, the one or more gateway components configured to facilitate communication between a cloud platform and a physical building device; and deploying, by the one or more processors, the one or more gateway components to a physical gateway, the physical gateway configured to communicate with one or more building devices and receive one or more data samples from the one or more building devices, wherein the one or more gateway components receive the one or more data samples and communicate the one or more data samples to the cloud platform; identifying, by the one or more processors, that a building device of the building running one or more services does not meet one or more requirements for running the one or more services; and responsive to identifying that the building device does not meet the one or more requirements, causing, by the one or more processors, the one or more services executing on the building device to be relocated to the physical gateway such that the one or more gateway components execute the one or more services; deploying, by the one or more processors, an adapter service to the physical gateway, wherein the adapter service causes the physical gateway to communicate with a network engine and receive the one or more data samples from the network engine, the network engine configured to manage one or more building networks and receive the one or more data samples from one or more second building devices of the building via the one or more building networks; and the adapter service causes the physical gateway to communicate with a network engine and receive the one or more data samples from the network engine, the network engine configured to manage one or more building networks and receive the one or more data samples from one or more second building devices of the building via the one or more building networks.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising: identify, by the one or more processors, one or more communication protocols of the one or more building devices that collect the one or more data samples; and deploying, by the one or more processors, one or more integration components for the one or more communication protocols to the physical gateway to cause the physical gateway to communicate with the one or more building devices via the one or more communication protocols.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more gateway components are configured to: detect a new physical building device connected to the physical gateway; search a device library for a configuration of the new physical building device; and perform at least one of: implementing the configuration to facilitate communication with the new physical building device responsive to identifying the configuration for the new physical building device in the device library; or perform a discovery pro cess to discover the configuration for the new physical building device and store the configuration in the device library.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the device library is stored in at least one of the cloud platform or on the one or more gateway components.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the device library is distributed across a plurality of instances of the one or more gateway components in a plurality of different buildings.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more gateway components include a building service configured to generate data based on the one or more data samples.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising: identifying, by the one or more processors, one or more requirements for the building service, the one or more requirements indicating at least one of processing resources, storage resources, data availability, or a presence of another building service; determining, by the one or more processors, that the physical gateway meets the one or more requirements; and deploying, by the one or more processors, the building service to the physical gateway responsive to determining that the physical gateway meets the one or more requirements.
