What Tridem does

Tridem Yazılım Otomasyon Ar-Ge Mühendislik ve Danışmanlık Ltd. Şti. (Tridem) is a privately held Turkish engineering and consulting company headquartered in Çankaya, Ankara, founded in July 2004. The company specializes in KNX-based building automation, delivering turn-key projects that integrate lighting, HVAC (FanCoil, VRV/VRF, underfloor heating), curtain/blind, energy monitoring, SCADA, and load-shedding automation for smart homes, offices, hotels, shopping centers, hospitals, stadiums, airports, and government buildings. Since late 2006, KNX system solutions have been the company's primary focus, building a reference portfolio across both domestic Turkish clients and international projects in Azerbaijan. Customers include Hiltonsa Ankara, Sheraton Ankara, Forum Diyarbakır AVM, Media Markt, Türk Telekom headquarters, Yozgat Şehir Hospital, Başbakanlık (Prime Ministry) buildings, Trabzon Medical Park Stadium, Füzuli International Airport, and SOCAR Turkey's headquarters.

Tridem's technology stack is built on the KNX open standard for building automation, complemented by proprietary Java/J2EE-based software products. FrameNet is a proprietary application development framework designed to accelerate project delivery and reduce programming errors across the company's automation deployments. The Limnigraph Management Software manages Akım Elektronik's water-level measurement devices for hydrology, dams, and flood-control applications, while eMOVE is a J2EE-based fleet management and vehicle tracking system. The company's hardware integrations include DALI lighting (up to 64 addresses, 16 groups), 1-10V control, PIR and microwave presence detectors with integrated lux-level sensing (claimed to reduce lighting energy costs by up to 60%), and SCADA-based energy monitoring.

Commercially, Tridem operates as a project-based, quote-driven system integrator with no publicly disclosed pricing or service tiers. The company sells through direct enterprise engagement and leverages its reference portfolio and a technical knowledge library (DALI topology, KNX wiring rules, 1-10V and DALI wiring, presence detectors) as its primary marketing channels. Revenue is generated from professional services for turn-key automation projects and, to a lesser extent, software licensing for proprietary products. The company is led by General Manager Ayhan Büyüksemerci, has 1–10 employees, has raised no external funding, and operates without disclosed parent or subsidiary relationships.
