Protocol Infrastructure™ Launches the Protocol Asset Index™ to Standardize Autonomous Robotics in Commercial Real Estate

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Protocol Infrastructure, an independent technology provider, today announced the public launch of the Protocol Asset Index™ (PAI™). The vendor-neutral framework provides commercial real estate (CRE) owners with the universal software layer required to orchestrate multi-vendor robot fleets safely and securely across enterprise portfolios.

As demographic labor shortages drive the adoption of autonomous floor scrubbers, security patrols, and delivery fleets, enterprise landlords face severe integration friction. Fragmented building system APIs and uncoordinated vendor deployments create lobby gridlock, expose operational technology (OT) networks to cyber threats, and strip property managers of central access authority.

"The commercial real estate industry is being asked to admit every robotics vendor into the building on its own terms: elevators, access control, fire panels, the network," said James Fresco, Founder & CEO of Protocol Infrastructure. "A single vendor is manageable. Several, each improvising its own integrations across systems that were never designed to be shared, is not. Protocol Infrastructure establishes the neutral layer between them. Landlords retain absolute access sovereignty, and robotics manufacturers qualify once for a single integration that holds across every certified building."

The rollout introduces three core modules for the autonomous real estate ecosystem:

The Protocol Asset Index™ (PAI™) (Available Now): A standardized technical diagnostic mapping a property's physical constraints, network continuity, and API readiness. The audit yields three permanent, landlord-owned technical assets: a risk and gap remediation roadmap, a one-page RFP technical specification sheet, and a Universal Spatial Access Graph—a machine-readable record of the access paths, interfaces, and constraints of a single asset.

Protocol OS™ (Scheduled Q1 2027): A zero-CapEx cloud orchestration layer normalizing fragmented hardware APIs across elevators, automatic doors, and access control. Under central landlord control, Protocol OS enables predictive traffic dispatching, automated usage-based transit billing, and life-safety interlocks aligned with EN 81-73 and ASME A17.1. It processes only fleet identity and transit events, ingesting no video or tenant PII.

Protocol SDK™ (Scheduled Q1 2027): An open-source integration layer allowing robotics manufacturers and fleet orchestration platforms to natively access any Protocol-certified asset, eliminating custom building integration engineering and accelerating deployment velocity.

Protocol Infrastructure operates strictly as an independent governing body. The organization maintains no financial affiliation with any building systems manufacturer or robotics OEM, guaranteeing objectivity for asset managers and risk underwriters.

About Protocol Infrastructure
Protocol Infrastructure provides the universal access standard for shared human-autonomous environments. The company builds the neutral software layer that allows autonomous fleets to navigate safely across vertical cores and secured thresholds. By establishing open standards, Protocol Infrastructure grants property owners definitive access control while enabling robotics manufacturers to achieve standardized, secure deployment worldwide.
