Common questions

Solutions FAQ

Yes. Most COREU deployments are retrofits. Our KNX gateways and IoT modules are designed to integrate with existing wiring and SCADA systems, minimising disruption. We typically perform a site survey and produce a compatibility report before any hardware is ordered.

The city platform natively supports MQTT, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, Sigfox, REST/HTTP and AMQP. Legacy SCADA integration is available via OPC-UA and Modbus TCP adapters. Custom adapters can be developed under a professional services engagement.

No. COREU offers three deployment models: cloud-hosted (EU region), hybrid (edge + cloud sync), and fully on-premise. For public sector clients and critical infrastructure we typically recommend hybrid or on-premise for data sovereignty reasons.

A single-building KNX project typically runs 6–12 weeks from kick-off to go-live. City platform pilots are usually 8–16 weeks. Full enterprise rollouts are scoped individually. All projects include a formal PoC phase before full deployment is approved.

Our story

Built in the Netherlands, deployed across Europe

COREU was founded in Amsterdam in 2017 by a team of KNX-certified building automation engineers and IoT software developers. The original mission was simple: build an integration layer that could bridge the legacy KNX world with modern cloud dashboards without sacrificing reliability.

Over time, clients began asking for more — smart city sensor networks, energy management systems, multi-site reporting. We expanded the platform and the team accordingly, always keeping hardware and software development in-house to maintain quality control.

Today COREU serves public sector clients, listed real-estate portfolios and industrial facilities across 14 EU countries. We remain privately held and engineering-led.
