TechCorp Corporate Building - Success Story with Edgemant
TechCorp Tower Lima is a world-class corporate building located in the financial district of San Isidro, with 28 floors, 125,000 m², 3,200 employees, and 180 tenant companies.
In 2024, they faced critical problems with energy efficiency, fragmented access control, poor employee experience, and lack of operational visibility. With the implementation of Edgemant Edge Computing, they transformed the building into a 'Smart Building 5.0'.
The Problem: Disconnected and Inefficient Building
Before Edgemant, TechCorp Tower operated as a set of disconnected systems, generating inefficiency, high costs, and a mediocre employee experience:
HVAC Control
Centralized floor-by-floor system without granularity. Offices too hot/cold. 34% of employee complaints about comfort.
Lighting
Old DALI controls without occupancy detection. Lights on 24/7 even in empty areas. Unnecessary consumption.
Access Control
8 different systems (cards, codes, biometrics) without integration. Employees waited 2-3 minutes at access points.
Automated Parking
No intelligence. Employees searched for spaces manually. System operated by 6 full-time staff.
Elevators (22 units)
Centralized optimization algorithm with latency. Average travel: 85 seconds (vs 45-60 in modern standards).
Data Centers (8 floors)
Inefficient cooling. PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness): 2.8 (vs 1.5 modern standard). $1.2M/month spent on energy.
Workspaces
No occupancy visibility. Employees didn't know where to find available rooms, free desks, or colleagues.
Physical Security
4 different monitoring centers. Incident response: 8-12 minutes. No real-time coordination.
Impacto de Negocio: Energy consumption: $16.8M/year. Employee complaints: 340/month. Lost productivity: 12% due to inefficiency. Operating cost: $4.2M/year (excessive). Employee turnover: 18% (due to poor experience).
The Solution: Edgemant Smart Building 5.0
An integrated and scalable Edgemant architecture was implemented, connecting all systems on a unified platform:
18 Distributed Edgemant Gateways
One per floor group, local processing layers. Edge intelligence, not cloud.
2,400+ IoT Sensors
Temperature, humidity, occupancy, light, CO₂ in each office/common area.
Multi-system Integration
HVAC, lighting, elevators, access control, parking - ALL on one platform.
Local Predictive AI
Optimization algorithms running at the edge. Instant response, latency <150ms.
Unified Dashboard
360° visibility for facility managers. Granular control by floor, office, employee.
Employee Experience
Mobile app that shows available spaces, books rooms, controls office climate.

Testimonio del Cliente
"Before Edgemant, managing this building was like conducting an orchestra without a conductor. 8 different systems, each with its own staff, its own reports, without coordination. Now, with Edgemant, everything is integrated. I can see in real-time what's happening on each floor. Elevators optimize themselves. The climate adjusts automatically. Employees use the app and book rooms without calling us. We reduced operators from 45 to 28, saved millions in energy, and the building runs smoother than ever. Most importantly: employees are more productive because they don't waste time waiting for elevators or looking for spaces."
