Questions, answered.

Lumina 360 is an operational intelligence company that delivers Sustainable Outperformance: continuously recovering the value lost to inefficiencies, waste, and faults in industrial and commercial operations.

We design and deploy end-to-end IoT monitoring solutions through our Lumina+ platform, and pair this with deep mechanical and electrical engineering expertise. The result is live visibility into energy consumption, equipment health, and production performance, so clients can act before problems escalate, reduce operating costs, and make their operations predictable and resilient.

Lumina+ is our IoT platform that provides a single source of truth for energy, carbon, equipment health, and production performance. It has two modules:

• Lumina+ Energy and Carbon: Continuous measurement, analytics, and reporting on energy, carbon, and water consumption. Includes automated anomaly detection, scheduled reporting, and IPMVP-compliant savings verification.
• Lumina+ IoT Optimise Operations: Customised IoT applications for predictive maintenance, production KPI monitoring, asset management, and operational dashboards with a two-way rules engine.

The platform is hardware-agnostic and built on open protocols. Clients retain full freedom to switch to an alternative software provider at any time. There is no vendor lock-in.

If it can be measured, Lumina can monitor it. Common applications include:

• Rotating machinery: motors, AHUs, compressors, pumps, refrigeration systems
• Energy and utilities: electricity, gas, oil, heat, water, compressed air, solar PV
• Environmental: CO2, air quality, temperature, humidity, weather
• Production: OEE tracking, PLC and OPC-UA data, MES integration
• Building and space: occupancy, people counting, desk utilisation
• Tanks and fluid systems: fill levels, leak detection, flow metering

We also integrate with existing infrastructure using Modbus, BACnet, SDI-12, LoRaWAN, MQTT, REST API, and analogue/digital I/O, so new deployments do not require replacing what is already in place.

Most sensor deployments set threshold alarms: if a value exceeds a limit, an alert fires. This catches problems only after they become severe. Lumina's approach is fundamentally different.

Lumina's approach starts with the engineering question: what does normal behaviour look like for this specific asset, and what constitutes a meaningful deviation worth acting on? Depending on the application, this may involve ML models trained on the asset's operating signature, rule-based analytics designed around the specific failure modes, or a combination of both. The approach is flexible and is designed around the specific asset and operating context.

This is only possible because the same engineers who understand the mechanical and electrical process also design the analytics. The intelligence applied is an extension of engineering expertise, not a generic off-the-shelf layer applied to raw data.

Yes. Lumina+ is hardware-agnostic and works across the full range of industrial and building protocols, including OPC-UA, Modbus, BACnet, SDI-12, LoRaWAN, MQTT, REST API, and analogue/digital I/O.

This means we can integrate with virtually any existing equipment, BMS, PLC, or SCADA system. New deployments do not require ripping out existing infrastructure, which keeps costs down and deployment time short.

Every deployment is managed end-to-end by Lumina. The process covers eight stages:

1. Workshop with the client to define project goals and priorities
2. Solution architecture design and on-site network connectivity testing
3. Identification of optimal gateway locations
4. Selection of IoT devices from a database of thousands of options matched to project requirements
5. Development of bespoke dashboards tailored to client needs
6. Pre-configuration of all IoT devices before arriving on site
7. On-site deployment and network commissioning
8. Ongoing operation and maintenance to ensure maximum uptime

Lumina does not stop at hardware supply or software licensing. We own the full stack from engineering design through to live system management.

An IGDR is a detailed engineering and financial analysis of a building or industrial facility. It identifies every significant energy and carbon saving opportunity across the site, and for each measure produces:

• Full implementation costs
• Projected annual savings in energy, cost, and carbon
• Simple payback period, IRR, and NPV
• Financing options

The output is a costed, financeable roadmap that gives decision-makers the engineering rigour needed to commit to action and secure board or funding approval. The cost of an IGDR is typically around 2% of the 10-year potential benefit identified.

M&V is the process of independently confirming that energy and carbon savings claimed after an efficiency project are real, attributable, and sustained over time.

Lumina applies the International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP), the global standard for M&V, carried out by Certified Measurement and Verification Professionals (CMVPs). This means:

• Savings are proven, not estimated
• Performance does not quietly erode after implementation
• Stakeholders and funders receive independently verified results

Without proper M&V, organisations often believe they are achieving their targets while savings have already degraded, sometimes significantly.

Lumina does not sell energy equipment, hardware for its own sake, or generic consulting reports. We work entirely on behalf of our clients, with no commercial interest in any particular technology or vendor.

Our starting point is always the engineering question: where are the biggest sources of waste, inefficiency, and risk in this specific operation? The technology, whether IoT monitoring, an IGDR, or implementation support, follows that answer. Most suppliers start with the product they want to sell. We start with the problem that needs solving.

Many clients identify low-cost or no-cost improvements within the first weeks of deploying monitoring or completing an IGDR. Operational changes, scheduling adjustments, and equipment setpoint corrections often deliver savings immediately.

Larger capital projects are phased for maximum return. Energy reduction programmes typically uncover annual savings of 25 to 50% through measures with payback periods under five years.

Yes. For clients in Ireland, Lumina identifies all available grants, energy credits, and financing schemes, including SEAI EEOS grants, and manages the full application process end-to-end.

We also ensure that energy savings projects are structured and documented to meet the requirements of funding bodies, so that grant claims hold up under scrutiny.

Lumina works with industrial manufacturers, leisure and hospitality operators, commercial property owners, and public sector bodies. The common thread is organisations that have significant energy consumption, complex plant and equipment, or production processes where operational performance directly affects the bottom line. We have delivered projects across Ireland, the UK, continental Europe, and internationally.

The simplest starting point is a discovery call. In 30 to 45 minutes, we can assess whether there is a clear opportunity and what the right first step looks like for your specific situation, whether that is an IoT monitoring deployment, an IGDR, or ongoing M&V for an existing project.

We handle all data capture, analysis, and solution design from there. You do not need to prepare anything in advance beyond a basic overview of your site or operation.
