Enlite, a Mumbai-based deep-tech company specialising in intelligent infrastructure systems, has secured its second Indian patent for a cloud-based configuration system designed for building management controllers. Announced on 7 July, the patent covers a centralised framework that enables remote configuration, testing and deployment of controllers, replacing conventional site-based processes. The technology is intended to simplify commissioning and operation of intelligent buildings by reducing manual intervention, shortening deployment timelines and supporting consistent management across multiple locations. It also incorporates remote maintenance, version control and real-time synchronisation, making it suitable for commercial buildings, airports, hospitals, educational institutions, hospitality assets, industrial facilities and data centres.
Enlite has been granted its second Indian patent for a cloud-based system that enables the centralised configuration and management of building management controllers, the company announced on 7 July. The patented technology is designed to simplify the commissioning and operation of intelligent buildings by allowing controller configurations to be created, modified, tested and deployed remotely through a secure cloud-based platform instead of relying on manual, on-site programming.
According to the company, configuring field devices across multiple buildings has traditionally been one of the most labour-intensive stages of building automation. Engineers have typically been required to visit each site to manually configure individual controllers and repeat the process whenever changes in building operations necessitated updates.
Enlite's patented system replaces this conventional approach with a cloud-native framework that digitises the configuration process. By enabling remote deployment and centralised management, the technology is intended to reduce the time required for commissioning, minimise manual intervention and support faster implementation of building automation projects across multiple sites.
The company stated that the system also incorporates features including remote maintenance, real-time synchronisation, version control and structured configuration management. These capabilities are designed to enable building owners and operators to maintain consistent automation standards across geographically dispersed properties while improving operational accuracy and efficiency.
Commenting on the development, Enlite Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Gaurav Bali said the company's first Indian patent had demonstrated the feasibility of wireless hardware for building automation, while the second patent extends innovation to the configuration process by shifting it to a cloud-based environment. He added that the two patents collectively represent the company's efforts to build an end-to-end, Indian-developed building automation platform.
Garima Bharadwaj, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Enlite, said conventional building automation has historically depended on engineers carrying out configuration work individually at each project location. She stated that the newly patented system transfers this activity into software, enabling configuration to be completed remotely through the cloud within minutes rather than requiring prolonged on-site intervention.
According to the company, the technology has potential applications across a broad range of asset classes, including commercial office buildings, airports, hospitals, industrial facilities, educational campuses, hospitality properties and data centres, where secure, scalable and centrally managed building systems are increasingly required.
With the addition of this second Indian patent, Enlite said it continues to expand its intellectual property portfolio while strengthening its focus on developing domestically engineered technologies for intelligent infrastructure and building automation.
