Our history
Four decades, three generations.
Born in a hospital plant room
Sphere Systems was formed by a team of engineers at the Austin Hospital, with a clear direction: build a control system tailored to the needs of the hospital.
Growth
From air to doors
Sphere expanded into door access control and was widely adopted in hospitals throughout Victoria, then in universities, multi-storey buildings and government sites.
2000s
WebXL goes web-based
The launch of WebXL, a generation of web-based controllers recognised in Australia and internationally for multi-storey buildings.
Contracting nationwide
The team behind today's Sphere began working as contractors across sites nationwide, including sites where all three generations of controls still run.
Environmental Automation
Sphere Systems was rebranded as Environmental Automation.
The Sphere name returns
CF Systems acquired the products and brought back the original Sphere Systems name, with a new team of electronics and software engineers.
Today
WebAI
WebAI continues the web-page approach with native BACnet, while staying backward compatible with the generations before it.
