Best of 2024 IoT Breakthrough of the Year – Carrier Abound

Carrier Abound Wins 2024 IoT Breakthrough of the Year

The winner of the 2024 IoT Breakthrough of the Year is Carrier Abound for their pioneering Abound Edge Smart Connect Software and Cockpit Orchestrator. Carrier Abound’s solution redefines how businesses connect, manage, and optimize diverse IoT data sources across building operations, achieving greater efficiency, cost savings, and sustainability.

Addressing Critical Industry Challenges

Traditionally, businesses struggled to streamline operations due to fragmented Building Management Systems (BMS), various smart devices, and multiple IoT clouds – each requiring separate management and slowing down decision-making. The Abound Edge System breaks down these silos with:

Smart Connect Software:
Automates discovery, configuration, and transmission of equipment data across protocols (e.g., BACnet, MODBUS) with data transformation and compression technologies.

Cockpit Orchestrator:
Provides a unified, cloud-based panel to monitor and manage equipment across multiple vendors, generations, and sites — from a single interface.

Delivering Real-World Impact

By drastically reducing manual setup time (cutting effort by over 58%*), improving visibility, and future-proofing IoT connectivity through open protocols, Carrier Abound empowers businesses to:

• Improve occupant comfort.
• Enhance energy efficiency.
• Lower operational costs.
• Achieve sustainability goals with scalable IoT integration.

Carrier Abound, part of Carrier Global Corporation, provides digitally connected lifecycle solutions and services for diverse building portfolios.

Congratulations to Carrier for setting a new standard in IoT innovation and being named the 2024 IoT Breakthrough of the Year winner!
