J2 Innovations (a Siemens Company), Milesight IoT and Innon Partner to Revolutionise Building Monitoring with Link Edge Solution

Written by Joanna Benbow | 24 June 2025

In response to tightening European legislation and the UK’s Net Zero targets, Milesight IoT, J2  Innovations (a Siemens Company), and Innon have joined forces to launch Link Edge, a cutting-edge building monitoring solution designed to simplify compliance, enhance data quality, and reduce deployment complexity.

The Challenge: Building Monitoring is difficult and expensive at the moment:

When it comes to building monitoring systems, companies face significant hurdles:

  • High cost of installation and maintenance of the Building Management Systems (BMS). The BMS system requires a bespoke design, then skilled engineers to install and maintain, who are in short supply and expensive.
  • Poor data quality & lack of actionable insights. In BMS systems, data quality is often low because engineers frequently overlook the data tagging step.
  • Costly and disruptive wiring for various sensors and energy monitoring devices.

With new energy efficiency and emissions regulations emerging across Europe, businesses urgently need a more innovative, more scalable solution.

With these challenges in mind, Innon has developed the Link Edge system in collaboration with J2 Innovations and Milesight. Link Edge is a cloud-enabled, wireless building monitoring system that can be deployed in a few hours by an electrician, IT person or even an apprentice.

  • Link Edge combines the best of three industry leaders:
    J2 Innovation’s FIN Framework™ – an IoT integration platform that provides secure cloud connectivity, enterprise-grade data orchestration, and seamless interoperability with third-party systems.
  • Milesight IoT’s extensive LoRaWAN portfolio – A wide range of wireless gateways and sensors (environmental, occupancy, energy, and more) that eliminate costly wiring and enable rapid, scalable deployments.
  • Innon’s "Ready for Anything" distribution expertise – Ensuring the solution is pre-integrated, secure, and supported by a 5-star service model.

Together, they deliver:

  • Plug-and-play deployment – No complex wiring or specialist engineers required.
  • Real-time cloud connectivity – Data flows securely into the FIN Framework, enabling remote monitoring, AI-driven insights, and compliance reporting.
  • Seamless integration via API – Works with existing BMS, ERP, or analytics platforms.
  • Future-proof scalability – Adaptable to evolving regulations and smart building needs.

"Link Edge bridges the gap between advanced IoT and practical building management," said Radu Petrescu, Founder of Innon. "By leveraging Milesight’s versatile sensors and J2 Innovations’ robust cloud platform, we’re making it easier than ever to monitor, analyse, and optimise buildings—wirelessly."

"The FIN Framework was built for secure, scalable IoT deployments," added Matteo Pierone, MD at J2 Innovations. "With Milesight’s devices feeding high-quality data directly into the controller and then into the cloud, customers gain immediate visibility and control, without the traditional headaches.”

Why This Partnership Matters

  • Cloud-powered intelligence – FIN Framework ensures secure, reliable, and tagged data, while enabling integration with customers’ preferred dashboards and automation tools.
  • Wireless flexibility – Milesight’s battery-operated, long-range sensors and gateways reduce installation costs by up to 70% compared to wired alternatives.
  • Enterprise-ready distribution – Innon guarantees hassle-free deployment, compliance support, and ongoing service excellence.

"Our 'Ready for Anything' approach means Link Edge isn’t just another IoT product—it’s a fully supported solution," noted Turchian Omer, Co-Founder at Innon. “From procurement to cybersecurity to long-term scalability, we’ve removed every barrier to adoption. And because we wanted to test our solution, we installed Link Edge into Total Controls’ headquarters. We used our 15-year-old son, Andy, who is a student and had received 1 hour of training. He managed to install Link Edge in one day, and the solution monitors over 50 air quality and energy sensors wirelessly. "

“Link Edge is a perfectly scalable edge solution designed to streamline data transmission from the field to smart building platforms,” said Harry Hua, Director of IoT Solutions. “Built on the FIN™ Framework, it offers exceptional flexibility and scalability. Through seamless integration with Milesight gateways and nodes, Link Edge enables access to a wider range of data, supporting more effective analysis and optimisation strategies across building facility management, energy efficiency, and space utilisation. It's one-stop configuration makes it highly user-friendly, significantly reducing deployment and management costs. For the building sector, this is a truly competitive solution.”
