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.

IIoT & Smart Factory

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.

Factory floor to production decision

1
PLC / CNC / Sensor
Machines emit data every 10–100ms
2
OPC UA / MQTT
Standardized industrial protocol layer
3
Edge compute
Sub-10ms local processing, cloud-optional
4
Time-series DB
Retention, aggregation, anomaly detection
5
MES / ERP
Live OEE, yield, and predictive alerts

Everything above the edge layer is optional - we design for your OT security posture.

What you get

OPC UA and MQTT data pipeline connecting PLCs, CNCs, sensors, and SCADA into a unified real-time stream

Time-series storage architecture (InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, or Timestream) sized for your sensor cadence and retention requirements

Predictive maintenance models trained on your machine telemetry - vibration, temperature, current draw - not a vendor's generic dataset

MES and ERP integration so production KPIs (OEE, yield, cycle time) are live, not calculated in the next day's report

Edge compute layer (Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, or industrial PCs) for sub-10ms local processing that doesn't depend on cloud connectivity

ISA/IEC 62443 OT security baseline - air-gap where it matters, segmented networks, minimal attack surface on operational systems

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 process

Pricing

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.
