Cylon Controls Ltd. is a building management system company based in Dublin, Ireland,[3] with offices in the United Kingdom, [4][unreliable source?] the United States, Germany, and China.[1]
History
Cylon was founded in 1985 by Sean Giblin, a University College Dublin graduate. It became, according to a 2005 press release, the "largest privately owned manufacturer of building control systems in Europe".[3] The company provides smart energy control systems for buildings and has been used in industrial, commercial, educational and medical facilities.
Cylon's early customers included University College Dublin and Dunnes Stores,[1] and it later supplied systems internationally to projects in the Middle East, the United States and Africa.[citation needed] The company is responsible for the creation of Uniput technology which was specifically designed for HVAC applications.[citation needed] The UnitronUC32 solution supports integration options, including BACnet, Modbus, KNX, M-Bus and OPC.[5][better source needed]
In 2012, Cylon Controls "made it into the global top 10 category winners in the Global Cleantech Cluster Association (GCCA) Awards", winning the GCCA's 2012 award for "lighting and energy efficiency".[6] In mid-2014, the company reportedly received €7m from an ESB Group investment fund.[7]
Cylon Controls was acquired by ABB in 2020.[2]
