πŸ‘‹ We keep your Niagara stations running.

Shanghai Gline Net Co., Ltd. β€” Founded by Jason Zhang.
Tridium Niagara partner since 2014. Remote operations, maintenance, and engineering for mission-critical Niagara 4 systems.


The Problem

Your Niagara stations are running 24/7. When something breaks β€” a BACnet device goes offline, an alarm floods the console, a Modbus point stops updating β€” you need it fixed now. But:

  • Your best Niagara engineer is booked on another project
  • Flying someone to site costs thousands and takes days
  • The local integrator who installed it is long gone
  • You don't have a maintenance contract, and when you call someone it's emergency rates

Our Solution: Remote Niagara O&M

We act as your remote Niagara engineering team. No travel, no delays, no minimum commitment.

Service What We Do
πŸ”§ Remote Commissioning & Debugging We connect to your station remotely, diagnose issues, and fix them in real time. BACnet, Modbus, MQTT, oBIX β€” any protocol.
🧩 Custom Protocol Integration Provide us with the communication point documentation of your legacy device. We use AI-powered tools to rapidly develop the integration interface protocol β€” no matter how obscure the device.
πŸ›‘οΈ Annual Maintenance Retainer Fixed monthly fee. Includes remote monitoring, alarm response, performance checkups, and priority access to our engineers. Recurring, predictable cost.
🧱 Custom Module Development Need a feature Niagara doesn't have out of the box? We build custom JAR modules β€” SFTP, REST API, MQTT clients, AI agents, whatever you need.
πŸ€– AI-Assisted Operations Automate alarm analysis, generate daily reports, query your station in plain English. Reduce the time your team spends on routine diagnostics.

AI-Powered Analysis - No Direct Network Required

We use AI to analyze your Niagara system without needing permanent access to your network. This is especially valuable for clients with strict security policies.

Offline Analysis (email-based)

  1. Your Niagara station emails us a .bog file (captured by BogSnap at alarm time) or an alarm notification
  2. Our AI analyzes the file - program state, point values, alarm conditions, historical context
  3. You receive an alarm dashboard with root cause analysis, trend identification, and actionable recommendations
  4. All done without any network connection to your facility - zero security exposure

On-Premise Analysis (inside your network)

For clients who want deeper integration, we deploy lightweight analysis tools inside your corporate network:

  • Connects via oBIX, REST API, or ingests JSON from MQTT
  • No direct VPN to our office needed - data flows one-way out
  • Builds automated analysis pipelines that run continuously
  • Generates alarm dashboards, trend reports, and predictive insights

This transforms a standard Niagara system from a reactive operation to a predictive one - dramatically increasing the value of your existing infrastructure.

Time Zone Advantage

We are based in Asia (GMT+8). While your team sleeps, we work.

Your Time Our Time What Happens
πŸ• Your midnight Our noon We handle overnight alarms, batch updates, and maintenance windows
πŸ• Your morning Our evening You wake up to a daily report with everything resolved
πŸ• Your afternoon Our night Overlapping hours for real-time collaboration

This means 24-hour coverage for your stations without paying for 24-hour local engineers. Your day shift handles strategy; our day shift handles execution while you sleep.

How Remote Access Works

Network security stays in your hands. You control the access, you stay compliant.

To start remote work, your team sets up one of the following (we do not provide or manage VPN services):

  • βœ… VPN access to your network (your own VPN solution)
  • βœ… Niagara Fox port or Niagara web port exposed temporarily
  • βœ… Subsystem access (BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP, etc.) if integrating a specific device

We do not guide or manage your VPN or firewall configuration. Your IT/security team decides what to expose and how. If you need recommendations, we can discuss β€” but the control remains entirely with you.

Security & Compliance

Principle What It Means
Read-only by default All inside-network operations are read-only unless explicitly authorized
Write requires approval Any write operation (set point, rename, delete) requires your prior written approval
Method Statement & Risk Assessment Before any write operation, we provide a detailed method statement and risk assessment for your review and sign-off
You own the network VPN, port exposure, firewall rules β€” all managed by your team. We never push for permanent changes.

Why Remote Works

Traditional On-site Gline Remote
Schedule 2 weeks out Connect today
Flight + hotel: $2,000–$5,000 Zero travel cost
1–2 days on site 2–4 hours to resolve most issues
Only available 9–5 Follow-the-sun coverage

Proof of Capability: Our Free Modules

We publish free, production-tested Niagara 4 modules on GitHub. They serve two purposes:

  1. They solve real problems β€” use them today, zero cost
  2. They prove we know what we're doing β€” inspect the code, test the JARs, see the quality
Module What It Shows
BogSnap Deep understanding of Niagara program objects, BQL, and station internals
REST API We build production-grade REST endpoints for AI automation
MQTT Client We write reliable protocol drivers
FRPC Tunnel We solve real-world remote access problems
BQL→JSON We bridge Niagara data with modern application stacks
SFTP/SSH Client We build secure, enterprise-grade integrations

All free to use. No license, no trial, no upsell. If they help you, great. If you need something custom, call us.
