What simconex does

simconex AG is a private building automation and IoT integrator headquartered in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, operating primarily across Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and Southern Germany. The company provides digitalization solutions for buildings and areas, focusing on cross-trade holistic automation that integrates HVAC, lighting, shading, presence detection, air quality, safety, and energy monitoring on a unified platform. Its portfolio centers on two proprietary software products: 'next', a supervisory control and visualization system built on industrial standards with cloud connectivity and remote maintenance capabilities, and 'deep', an energy monitoring and management solution supporting ISO 50001 and SIA 386.110 compliance. The technical foundation rests on open international standards (BACnet, KNX, Modbus, EnOcean, DALI, LoRaWan) integrated with Beckhoff PC-based SPS controls, positioning simconex as a multi-vendor specialist capable of greenfield deployments, retrofits across legacy systems (Siemens, Honeywell, Sauter, Johnson, LON), and IoT extensions such as LoRaWan-based waste management.

The company serves enterprise customers across healthcare (Kantonsspital St.Gallen, Klinik Gut Fläsch, Seespital Kilchberg), industrial manufacturing (Thyssenkrupp Eschen and Halls 16/17, Jansen AG), commercial and residential real estate (COSMO Stuttgart, sitEX POWERHOUSE Basel, Zentrum Schaan), education (Uni Basel, Kantonsschule Burggraben), hospitality (Hotel IBIS Zürich), and public sector (Stadt Gossau, Electrosuisse). Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time project licenses for automation and IoT implementations, recurring subscriptions for 'deep' energy monitoring, and modular maintenance service contracts structured as a five-module '5-Star Customer Service' (inspection, functional testing, maintenance, software backup, software updates) billed annually. Distribution is direct-sales-led with enterprise engagement, supplemented by an architect and engineering firm referral network and a licensing partner model that enables independent entrepreneurs to operate under simconex methodology. The company was founded in 2011 (per firmographics) and operates with 11-50 employees as an independent, privately-held entity with no disclosed parent company, venture capital backing, or institutional investors.

Direct peers

• Loxone: Austrian smart home and commercial building automation specialist with proprietary controller hardware and software. Highly comparable to simconex's cross-trade integration of HVAC, lighting, shading, and energy monitoring in DACH, though Loxone is more product-heavy and consumer-facing.
• Kieback&Peter: German building automation specialist delivering BMS/HVAC controls and energy optimization for commercial and public buildings. Closely comparable to simconex in service-led BAS integration across DACH, with a longer history and larger installed base.
• Sauter: Swiss-based building automation and room automation specialist focused on HVAC, energy efficiency, and integrated facility management. Direct competitor in the Swiss/Liechtenstein home market with comparable cross-trade integration positioning.
• Neuberger Gebäudeautomation: German building automation integrator delivering HVAC, lighting, shading, and energy monitoring solutions for commercial and public-sector clients. Comparable to simconex as a regional integrator with multi-protocol expertise across BACnet, KNX, and DALI.
• Loytec: Austrian building automation specialist focused on BACnet, LonMark, and Modbus integration with strong DACH presence. Direct competitor to simconex in multi-vendor, standards-based BMS integration for commercial and public buildings.

Emerging players

• Wirelane: German smart-building and EV charging solutions provider for commercial real estate. Comparable emerging DACH player in the digitalization of buildings, though more focused on EV charging infrastructure than full BAS.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider Electric: Global energy management and automation incumbent with EcoStruxure building platform. Competes with simconex in energy monitoring and BAS integration for commercial and industrial customers across DACH.
• Siemens Smart Infrastructure: Global incumbent offering Desigo CC and the full smart building stack across DACH. Competes with simconex for hospital, industrial, and public-sector BAS projects, but at much larger scale and with bundled hardware/software.
• WAGO: German industrial and building automation specialist offering controllers, I/O systems, and cloud solutions. Comparable to simconex's Beckhoff-based control architecture and competes for similar DACH integrator projects.
• Belimo: Swiss-listed global market leader in HVAC actuators, valves, and sensors. While a component/component supplier rather than a direct integrator, Belimo is a key ecosystem participant in the same Swiss building automation value chain as simconex.
