Kode Labs, a Detroit-based provider of smart building technology, and Operational Intelligence, a specialist in intelligent automation, are working together to improve the smart building landscape in south-east Asia, Australia and the UK.

By integrating Kode Labs’ technology, which leverages machine learning and AI to automate building operations across billions of standardised data points, with Australian firm Operational Intelligence’s local expertise, the firms are transforming how buildings operate, making them smarter, more connected and more efficient.

This collaboration empowers businesses to optimise their real-estate portfolios, reduce costs and improve occupant experiences while ensuring seamless implementation and long-term adaptability. By leveraging AI-driven automation in portfolio management, organisations gain enhanced operational visibility, lower energy consumption and the ability to make smarter, data-backed decisions.

“Joining forces with Kode Labs allows us to offer our clients unparalleled smart buildings,” said Michael Dowling, director of technology at Operational Intelligence. “Together, we are setting a new benchmark for what’s possible in building digitisation and sustainable transformation.”

As regulatory demands and sustainability expectations rise, this partnership equips organisations with future-proof infrastructure that adapts to industry shifts and evolving business needs.

“Our partnership with Operational Intelligence strengthens Kode’s position as the standard operating system for smart buildings worldwide,” said Etrit Demaj, co-founder of Kode Labs. “This marks another key milestone in ensuring our global clients have Kode channels anywhere their buildings and teams are located.”

As the demand for smarter, more sustainable, and cost-efficient buildings grows, the partnership is delivering intelligent products to optimise performance, reduce environmental impact, and create lasting value for businesses.
