Data acquisition in ACE Aerodrome just got a major upgrade. On October 1, 2026, we moved every Aerodrome data pipeline from our legacy ETL platform to Prefect, a modern Python-based orchestration platform. For customers, that means quicker data delivery and self-healing pipelines, plus integration updates that ship in minutes.
While attending the Cx Energy 2026 conference in Chicago, ACE IoT Solutions’ Andrew Rodgers and Bill Maguire took a drive to Aurora, IL to visit something we had wanted to see firsthand: the Nicor Gas Show Home, part of Habitat Green Freedom, a Nicor Gas Smart Neighborhood.
Data infrastructure is invisible when it works well. At a well-functioning site, the data layer stays out of sight, and a Cx team can focus on the building’s equipment and performance. Cx team members want to know whether the AHU is short-cycling, how the chiller plant is sequencing, and what to make of a flagged trend that could be either a real fault or just sensor drift. Cx team members are rightly less concerned about how the data they need is made available. They notice when the data they require are not where it needs to be. Getting that data where it needs to be is the work ACE IoT does for our partners.
Our partnership with BES Plus Tech provides a clear example of what becomes possible once a data layer–even an invisible one!–is reliable.
