CTHINGS.CO x INGY: Edge Orchestration for Smart Buildings:

INGY partners with CTHINGS.CO to transform existing lighting into an edge-orchestrated smart building network, delivering real-time visibility across occupancy, energy, climate, assets, and safety with scalable integration and measurable savings.

As connected environments expand, integrators and solution providers face growing pressure to orchestrate distributed edge deployments securely and efficiently. CTHINGS.CO helps partners reduce operational complexity and cost while scaling edge environments with confidence.

A new example of this momentum is INGY, which has recently joined the CTHINGS.CO Partner Program  to accelerate smart building outcomes using existing lighting infrastructure.

The challenge: scaling smart buildings without scaling complexity

Smart buildings are expected to deliver real-time insight across occupancy, energy use, indoor climate, asset tracking, and safety. Yet many initiatives stall when projects move from single sites to portfolios. The reasons are consistent: fragmented systems, integration overhead, security concerns, and the practical cost of installing new infrastructure.

For integrators and solution providers, the opportunity is clear, but so is the need for a deployment model that scales without driving up operational costs.

Turning existing lighting into a secure, edge-orchestrated building network

INGY is addressing this challenge by transforming existing lighting infrastructure into a smart building network that delivers real-time visibility across key operational domains:

• Occupancy and space usage
• Energy performance
• Indoor climate monitoring
• Asset awareness
• Safety and situational insight

Rather than requiring extensive new cabling and device rollouts, INGY’s approach builds on infrastructure many buildings already have in place, making it faster and more cost-effective to modernize at scale.

Intelligent sensor applications meet a secure edge technology stack

By combining INGY’s intelligent sensor applications with the CTHINGS.CO edge orchestration platform and Edge IoT Gateways, organizations can turn existing infrastructure into a scalable source of real-time, actionable insights—without adding unnecessary cloud dependency or complexity at the site level.

This approach results in up to:

• 80% lower installation costs
• 40% HVAC savings
• 30% better space utilization

For solution providers, it also means faster time-to-value, more consistent deployments, and a foundation designed for secure scaling across distributed environments.

Bastiaan de Groot, Co-founder and CEO at INGY, shared why the partnership matters:

“CTHINGS.CO is a powerful partner for INGY. Their Orchestra Platform and Edge IoT Gateways add a new layer of real-time capability and seamless integration—helping us deliver scalable smart building solutions faster, smarter, and more cost-efficiently.”
