The term "frontend" refers to the user interface of a software application or system through which end users interact. It can also be described as the presentation layer. For example, the view of a website is the frontend, while the backend is used by developers for programming and system adjustments. The backend is closer to the core system, whereas the frontend serves to simplify the user's view. In building operations, the frontend may include menus, dashboards, and interactive buttons, playing a crucial role in controlling the systems used within a building. A well-designed and intuitive frontend significantly enhances user experience. Ideally, users should have consistent access to the same interface from any location, at any time, and across different devices.
With the aedifion.io solution, building owners and operators have continuous access to all building data, providing a comprehensive view of building operations. aedifion facilitates connectivity across all trades in the IoT ecosystem. Through a simple plug-and-play setup with edge devices, building data is uploaded to the cloud, and users can access it via a web frontend or a mobile app to identify opportunities and implement optimizations.
