Commercial Automation & Building Controls in Cape Town
Automation that makes a commercial building easier to run — lighting, climate, access and scheduling controlled from one place.
Overview
Commercial automation is about removing the daily friction of running a building: lights left on overnight, plant running in empty wings, staff walking the building to lock up. SSIG scopes, installs and commissions control systems that tie those functions together for offices, warehouses, retail and mixed-use properties.
Every automation project starts with the building as it actually operates — occupancy patterns, existing plant, tenant metering and the way your facilities team works — rather than a generic product package.
Lighting control & scheduling
Zoned lighting control with time schedules, occupancy sensing and scene control for open-plan offices, boardrooms, parking areas and warehouse aisles.
Climate & HVAC integration
Coordination of air-conditioning and ventilation with occupancy and time-of-day logic so plant runs when the building is in use.
Access-linked logic
Automation events tied to access control — arming, disarming and after-hours lighting triggered by verified entry.
Central dashboards & monitoring
A single interface for status and schedules, with role-based access for facilities, security and building management.
