OT strategy and architecture for the built environment.
Goldenrod Labs advises on OT strategy and architecture for the built environment: how connected systems should be designed, where they create leverage, and what it costs when those decisions get made by default instead of intention.
The work draws on deep experience in industrial IoT, smart buildings, and the standards that govern how these systems talk to each other and to the organizations that depend on them. We take a small number of clients. Engagements are structured around your problem, not a service catalog.
The gap between a building's control systems and its business outcomes is rarely a technology problem. It's usually a translation problem — and it compounds quietly until something breaks or a decision gets made badly.
Goldenrod works with executives and technical teams together, because the strategy and the architecture have to agree. Engagements run from focused technical reviews to ongoing advisory relationships. Either way, the work product is yours.
Nate Benes is the founder of Goldenrod Labs. He has designed smart building systems from the ground up — hardware, software, and the architecture that ties them together — and advised organizations through complex OT transitions and large-scale system migrations. He is one of the few people in this industry who has built these systems on the product side and spent real time in buildings operating them, living with the consequences of his own decisions.
We're selectively available to new clients. If the problem fits, write to us.
