IIoT & Smart Factory Software — Real Data from the Factory Floor
Your factory floor generates more data per shift than most SaaS products process in a year. Almost none of it reaches a system that can act on it. We build the layer between your PLCs and your decisions.
- 1PLC / CNC / SensorMachines emit data every 10–100ms
- 2OPC UA / MQTTStandardized industrial protocol layer
- 3Edge computeSub-10ms local processing, cloud-optional
- 4Time-series DBRetention, aggregation, anomaly detection
- 5MES / ERPLive OEE, yield, and predictive alerts
Everything above the edge layer is optional — we design for your OT security posture.
What you get
When it fits
- You have sensors, PLCs, or CNC machines generating data that nobody can currently read in software
- Downtime costs more than the integration — predictive maintenance typically breaks even in 3–6 months
- Your MES or ERP is running on yesterday's production data because the integration doesn't exist
- You can give us access to a machine or line for a 2-week pilot before the full rollout
When it doesn't
- The plant runs purely manual processes — there's nothing to instrument yet
- OT security requirements prohibit any network connectivity to production machines — we'll work within the constraints, but be explicit
- You need a turnkey SCADA system — we build custom integrations and analytics, not licensed SCADA software
Process
Week 1–2: one-machine pilot — OPC UA / MQTT connection established, data flowing to a staging environment. Weeks 3–6: data model, time-series store, and first dashboard. Weeks 7–12: predictive maintenance baseline and MES integration. Security and OT network segmentation runs in parallel from week one.
Full delivery processPricing
Fixed-price by phase. Pilot (2 weeks, one machine): $15–30k. Full line integration: $80–250k. Predictive maintenance model: $40–120k added to integration. Infrastructure (edge hardware, cloud) is billed at cost.

FAQ
- Which protocols do you support?
- OPC UA is the default for modern industrial equipment. For older machines: Modbus TCP/RTU, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, and MQTT where a gateway is already in place. We'll survey what your machines actually speak in week one before recommending an architecture.
- Does this require internet connectivity on the factory floor?
- No. The edge layer processes locally and can operate in a fully air-gapped OT network. Cloud sync is optional and one-directional when OT security policy requires it. We design around your ISA/IEC 62443 requirements, not around our preferred architecture.
- How accurate is predictive maintenance?
- Accuracy depends entirely on signal quality and failure history. Our honest answer: plan 6–12 months of baseline data collection before the model is reliable enough to trust — and we'll tell you that in discovery rather than overpromise in the proposal.
- Can you integrate with our existing SCADA or MES?
- Yes, for most major platforms (Siemens, Rockwell, Ignition, SAP ME, Oracle, custom). We build integrations, not replacements — your existing SCADA stays in place and gets a data feed it can use.
