In 2001, NETxAutomation was founded with a clear vision: to simplify and unify building automation through intelligent connectivity. The company’s first milestone was already a remarkable one: the development of a KNX OPC DA interface for what was then Germany’s largest KNX project, laying the foundation for everything that followed.
Over the past 25 years, NETxAutomation has continuously evolved alongside the building automation industry, transforming technological challenges into scalable and future-proof solutions.
Early innovations such as NETxLAB and the NETx OPC Server series established NETxAutomation as a pioneer in protocol integration and interoperability. With visualization solutions like the NETx Voyager Server, the company expanded beyond connectivity, enabling intuitive monitoring and control of complex building systems.
Memberships in leading industry organizations, including the KNX Association, OPC Foundation, Modbus Organization, and BACnet International, reflect NETxAutomation’s long-standing commitment to open standards and cross-vendor integration.
Throughout the years, innovation remained a constant driver. The introduction of modules such as NETx MaRS, LaMPS, Shutter Control, and Metering solutions expanded the ecosystem, while the launch of the NETx BMS Platform marked a major step toward a fully integrated building management environment.
Other milestones highlight the company’s forward-looking approach: cloud solutions, hotel management integrations, BACnet BTL certification. All in the effort to provide the best solutions to our customers.
Recent developments, like the cooperation with ABB and Samsung on SmartThingsPro, the participation in the NVIDIA Connect Program, and the latest generation of the NETx BMS Platform, version R3, demonstrate a continuous focus on optimizing, advancing and innovating smart building operations.
Today, after 25 years, NETxAutomation stands for reliability, openness, and innovation, empowering projects ranging from single buildings to global portfolios. 25 years of NETxAutomation means 25 years of connecting systems, enabling smarter buildings, and shaping the future of building management together with partners and customers worldwide.
To another exciting and innovative 25 years, and many more.
