Enlite Launches World’s First Patented Edge Controller for Smart Infrastructure

25 Nov 2025 CW Team

Enlite, an Indian deep-tech automation company, has launched what it calls the world’s first patented universal edge controller designed to operate seamlessly across commercial buildings, data centres, industrial facilities, public infrastructure, smart townships and corporate parks. The controller represents a major milestone in global infrastructure automation by consolidating intelligence into a single, infra-agnostic hardware that eliminates complex wiring.

The device — STR-V1-1204485 — functions as the central intelligence of the entire automation ecosystem, supported by expansion modules that extend capabilities through a simple wireless architecture. It enables real-time decision-making at the edge through embedded generative intelligence, allowing infrastructure systems to respond adaptively to operational demands.

Enlite said the platform is designed to handle millions of decisions per day while maintaining stability, security and operational efficiency. It also enhances sustainability outcomes by optimising energy and water consumption, improving ESG reporting accuracy and boosting renewable resource utilisation.

Co-founder and CEO Gaurav Bali said the controller was created to “redefine how infrastructure thinks”, bringing autonomy and speed to diverse environments through wireless, modular automation. Co-founder and CTO Garima Bharadwaj added that the system represents a shift from automation to “autonomous intelligence,” enabling buildings, plants and complexes to self-manage in real time.

The launch underscores India’s emergence as a creator of next-generation automation technologies in a domain historically dominated by global players. With the new controller, Enlite aims to position India as a leader in advanced infrastructure intelligence.

Dhalbhumgarh Airport Faces 150-km Rule Hurdle

The issue has resurfaced following a recent statement by Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu, who said that under existing aviation policy, a new greenfield airport is generally not permitted within an aerial distance of 150 kilometres of an operational civilian airport. He added, however, that if a formal proposal is submitted, its impact on the existing airport can be examined and relaxations may be considered on a case-by-case basis. While the clarification has revived some hope for Dhalbhumgarh, it has also underlined the scale of the technical challenge facing the project. Unde..

Stakeholders Seek Parallel Ops For Vizag Airports

With road and metro rail links to Bhogapuram still several years away, stakeholders in north Andhra Pradesh have renewed demands to continue civil operations at INS Dega even after the commissioning of Bhogapuram International Airport. The new airport is expected to begin commercial operations from June. Officials said close to 80 per cent of the airport infrastructure at Bhogapuram, including the terminal building and internal approach roads, has already been completed. However, inadequate external connectivity remains a key concern. Making a case for parallel operations, Andhra Pradesh Air ..

Govt To Roll Out V2V Tech To Cut Road Crashes

In an effort to curb road accidents, particularly in low-visibility conditions such as dense fog, the government is set to roll out vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology that will allow cars to exchange real-time data and alert drivers to potential dangers. The announcement was made by Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari after the 43rd meeting of the Transport Development Council. The technology involves installing an on-board unit (OBU) in vehicles, enabling wireless data exchange between nearby cars. This will allow vehicles to share information such as spee..
