hiring a bms engineeris hard. operating without one shouldn't be.
Mexico has roughly five or six serious BMS integrators for the entire country. They're saturated. The engineers who do exist are expensive and their calendars are full. Vaultis replaces that dependency: your facilities supervisor — with no BMS training — operates your equipment with our dashboard, our alerts, our reports.
- Tridium N4 certification (current)
- 5+ years with BACnet, Modbus, SNMP
- Experience with industrial UPS, CRAC, HVAC
- Availability for on-call rotation
this is a structural problem, not a search problem.
The numbers: ~5-6 serious BMS integrators serve the national market. Similar scarcity across the rest of LATAM. The training pipeline is slow and Tridium certification is expensive.
Hiring internally doesn't solve the problem. You need at least two people for coverage when one is sick or on vacation. The salary band is wide and unstable. When one quits (~2-3 year average retention), you're back to zero — their knowledge of your specific BMS doesn't stay with your team.
"We'll train someone internally" doesn't work either. The Niagara + BACnet + Modbus learning curve runs months to years. The cost of mistakes is high. The trained person becomes the bottleneck and the single retention risk.
what used to require a specialist. what vaultis does instead.
built for your supervisor — not for a bms engineer.
Every UX choice in Vaultis serves the operator without training. They're not added features — they're the starting point.
Spanish first
The interface was built in Spanish, not translated. Mexican operators aren't a late-stage translation.
plain-language alerts
The operator gets "UPS-15 battery at 12%, ~8 min runtime, call the on-call" — not "alarm.battery_low fired on device_id=42".
kiosk mode for plant displays
Pinned to the control-room screen. 4-6 digit PIN to unlock. Operators don't open laptops.
visual representations of equipment
You see your UPS or CRAC as an image with live values, not as tables of OIDs or registers.
mobile first
Operators at Mexican plants check status from their phone, not from a workstation.
no widget configuration
The operator doesn't decide what to show. The system shows what matters for each equipment type.
we're not pretending bms knowledge doesn't matter. we handle it for you.
The Astrea Technologies team is Tridium-certified. We've been doing BMS work — Niagara, BACnet, Modbus, SNMP — across LATAM for more than 10 years. We have a partnership with SMTELCOM for Niagara station installs. The BMS expertise still exists; it lives in our team, in our equipment library, in our gateway configuration, in the templates we ship. You get the benefit of that expertise as a subscription — not as a hire.
