Day Automation

What Day Automation does

Day Automation is a regional building technology provider founded in 1976 and headquartered in Victor, New York. The company delivers integrated security systems, building automation, network infrastructure, and energy services to K-12 education institutions, operating from nine offices across New York State to provide localized installation, service, and support. Its core technology spans HVAC controls, lighting, access control, surveillance, and energy consumption optimization systems integrated into a unified building management layer for educational facilities.

The company's go-to-market is a direct B2B services model targeting public school districts, with a vertical segmentation approach concentrated entirely in K-12 education. No publicly disclosed pricing, named products, or product modules are available in the source data, reflecting the typical customization and procurement-driven nature of building automation contracts in the education sector. Day Automation's primary functional benefit is providing a single point of accountability across building automation, security, and energy management for school customers, which is differentiated by its dense NY-based field service network rather than proprietary technology.

On November 17, 2025, Day Automation was acquired by Stark Tech, a building technology solutions provider. The transaction combines Day Automation's K-12-focused NY service footprint with Stark Tech's broader building technology capabilities, with management stating the goal of delivering expanded building technology solutions to customers. Prior to the acquisition, Day Automation was a privately held independent company; no prior funding rounds, investor ownership, or detailed financial history are disclosed. Leadership includes Richie Perna as Chief Strategy Officer.
