Integrations: the protocols Aqueduct speaks and the systems it works with.
Aqueduct connects to devices over LoRaWAN, BACnet and Modbus, and to the systems of record you keep: CMMS and EAM for work, SCADA and historians for networks, AMI for customer meters.
Open protocols to the equipment, systems of record kept in place.
How equipment connects
- LoRaWAN sensors and meters
Battery-powered devices report through LoRaWAN gateways.
- LoRaWAN relay switches
For simple loads such as exhaust fans and lighting circuits.
- Field device network controller
Speaks BACnet or Modbus to air handlers, rooftop units, chiller plants and VAV boxes, and reads their telemetry back.
Which systems stay, and how they connect
- CMMS and EAM
Receive work orders with the diagnosis and recommended fix. Aqueduct does not replace them.
- SCADA and historians
Read alongside the network. Control stays with SCADA.
- BMS and BAS
Read over BACnet or Modbus, then kept or replaced; equipment commands run only where control is enabled, with owner approval.
Replace or connect, by category.
- BMS and BAS
- EMS
- Water management systems
- IAQ monitoring tools
- CMMS and EAM
- IWMS and CAFM
- SCADA
- AMI
- Historians
Device agnostic: make and model are chosen per site.
Both device protocols are open standards.

Aqueduct does not replace a CMMS, SCADA or historian. Devices that send no telemetry, such as analog meters without a pulse output, need a retrofit or replacement. Each CMMS connection is scoped with the project.

Common questions
Yes. Aqueduct connects to BMS and BAS controllers using the two open building protocols, BACnet and Modbus, via a gateway on site. You can keep the BMS running its sequences or move functions to Aqueduct over time. See keeping your BMS.
Aqueduct connects to the CMMS or EAM you already run, scoped per project. Work orders arrive with the diagnosis, the affected component and the recommended fix, so technicians do not retype alarms. See fault detection and diagnostics.
Yes, if they send telemetry. Smart meters connect over LoRaWAN, Modbus or BACnet, and older meters with a pulse output can be read through a pulse counter. See pulse counters.
No. Valves and pumps remain under the utility's own SCADA. Aqueduct takes a read-only copy of SCADA, AMI and historian data and adds district balances, loss analysis and reporting on top. See utilities.
