Edge & IIoT
From one line to every plant
We integrate IT and OT, so an app that proves itself on one line can move to the next without starting over.
Ontologies
Ontologies turn hard-coded apps into systems that speak the language of manufacturing. They are what make it practical to scale beyond a proof of concept.
- One vocabulary: devices communicate across platforms and protocols.
- Less custom code: apps adapt to new equipment types, with behavior set in the ontology instead of firmware.
- Local decisions: apps model how equipment, processes and materials interact, and keep working without a constant network connection.
- Faster rollout: one development effort deploys across lines and facilities, with the same experience for users.
Unified namespace and messaging
- One source of truth in place of data silos and point-to-point links.
- Event-driven design that responds as plant conditions change.
- MQTT, AMQP and SignalR, chosen for the latency and reliability each job needs, from edge device to web dashboard.
Ignition and AI
- Ignition gives organization-wide visibility without per-seat licensing, and connects to PLCs, databases, OPC servers and cloud platforms.
- AI through MCP gives language models live and historical plant data, so operators can ask about performance in everyday words, and AI can take actions you have approved.
The technology
We build on your existing technology and your team's skills, rather than forcing a choice on you.
| Back end | C# for enterprise integration. F# for modeling and data analysis. Windows, Linux, embedded and cloud. Docker for consistent deployment. |
| Front end | JavaScript and TypeScript. Blazor and React. ImGUI for embedded real-time screens. Ignition for SCADA and HMI. Progressive web apps for mobile. |
| High-performance code | Fast execution for heavy edge processing. Real-time response for critical processes. Careful memory use on small hardware. Low-level control for hardware integration. |
Three ways we deploy
Proof of concept
Sensors and edge computing tested quickly on your existing plant infrastructure.
Production line
Industrial-grade deployment with PLC connections, SCADA integration and screens built for operators.
Autonomous operations
Monitoring and automated decisions that let one operator manage several lines, with people able to step in.
Industries
| Manufacturing | Consumer goods, food processing and chemical operations. |
| Automotive | Production lines with immediate feedback and quality control. |
| Process industries | Continuous process monitoring and quality assurance. |
| Food and beverage | Real-time quality control, temperature monitoring and process coaching. |
Tell us your problem
What would happen if you changed it?
Describe the decision in front of you. We'll tell you whether a model can answer it, and what it would take.
- A straight answer on whether simulation is the right tool
- Which tool fits, even if it isn't one we use every day
- A rough scope and timeline, before any commitment
