The BMS Backbone of Blenheim Palace

We’re making history smarter. 

Buildings like the palace at Blenheim are cultural landmarks, historical archives and much-loved national treasures. 

As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Britain’s most iconic estates, integrating state-of-the-art technology into the centuries-old Baroque architecture presented a real challenge. 

That’s why the Blenheim team chose to partner with Tyrrell Systems to deliver a pioneering IoT solution that respected its legacy and secured its future. 

At the heart of the transformation is IONA – a powerful, scalable IoT controller that discreetly monitors and manages the Palace’s facilities. 

From moisture levels and temperature control to predictive maintenance and asset health, IONA ensures every decision is data-driven and every intervention is timely. 

Thanks to IONA’s technology, Blenheim Palace now benefits from: 

• Real-time visibility into environmental conditions 

• Reduced risks of damp, decay and system failures 

• Smarter conservation strategies 

• Long-term operational savings 

What we’ve done for Blenheim, we can do for any type of heritage building – from estates and museums to listed properties and historic sites.

Rethink preservation with technology and let’s make history smarter.
