MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FogHorn Systems , a leading developer of edge intelligence software for commercial and industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions, announced today that it has been recognized as the 2018 Global Smart Buildings Entrepreneurial Company of the Year by Frost & Sullivan for its strong overall performance, innovation, and customer satisfaction.

FogHorn’s disruptive Lighting™ product portfolio arms smart building owners and operators with sophisticated solution-driven and cost-effective computing technology and data analytics at the edge. With the help of its hyper-efficient complex event processor (CEP) analytics engine, which is equipped with machine learning (ML) capability, FogHorn reduces downtime of building systems and improves its predictive maintenance capabilities.

"Frost & Sullivan is quite impressed with FogHorn Systems, a disruptive start-up headquartered in the US that is leading the edge intelligence space,” said Anirudh Bhaskaran. “With its strong technology, customer roster, and overall company performance, FogHorn Systems has earned Frost & Sullivan’s 2018 Entrepreneurial Company of the Year Award.”

FogHorn’s edge intelligence solution enables high volumes of sensor data from different building systems to be processed, and can do so on highly constrained computing devices—this allows a massive amount of data to be processed on the edge with a very compact footprint. The deployment of FogHorn’s solution yields enhanced data security and reliability for smart building systems, along with improved operational efficiency and safety of these systems. This can reduce the total cost of ownership for building systems by 30 to 40 percent.

FogHorn was selected following a rigorous review process from Frost & Sullivan analysts, which included a thorough evaluation from a panel of industry experts looking at two key factors—Entrepreneurial Innovation and Customer Impact—according to criteria ranging from market disruption, competitive differentiation, and passionate persistence to the customer ownership experience and brand equity.

“The heart of a true edge intelligence platform is a CEP that is purpose built for the technical and economic realities of the industrial edge. Real-time actionable analytics as close to the data source as possible, combined with edge to cloud machine learning, is the predominant architecture being rolled out in smart buildings today for improved efficiencies, reduced energy costs, and better business outcomes,” said David C. King, CEO of FogHorn Systems. “We are proud of our ability to provide this ‘real edge’ intelligence to the smart buildings market and are honored to receive this award and recognition from Frost & Sullivan.”
