Protocol Infrastructure Launches the Protocol Asset Index to Standardize Autonomous Robotics in Commercial Real Estate
Protocol Infrastructure has launched its Protocol Asset Index (PAI), a vendor-neutral framework designed to streamline the integration of multi-vendor robot fleets across commercial real estate portfolios. The platform addresses challenges posed by fragmented building system APIs and uncoordinated deployments, which can lead to operational inefficiencies and cybersecurity risks. The PAI includes three core modules: an asset diagnostic tool for landlords, a cloud orchestration layer called Protocol OS set for Q1 2027, and an open-source integration platform known as the Protocol SDK. These tools aim to provide centralized control over robotic operations while ensuring compliance with safety standards like EN 81-73 and ASME A17.1. Founded by James Fresco, CEO of Protocol Infrastructure, the company positions itself as a neutral governing body without financial ties to robotics or building systems manufacturers. This independence is intended to foster trust among property managers and risk underwriters.
