The Problem
Your Machines Hold the Data, and Nobody Can Read It
It shows up once your plant runs equipment from several decades and brands. Each machine knows its own state, but the only way to see it is walking up to the panel.
Clipboards
Operators log readings by hand once a shift, if they remember.
Clipboards
Gateways read each machine's tags continuously and store them in a historian.
Old PLCs
Your older machines can't talk to anything newer than their panel.
Old PLCs
We read them over OPC UA, Modbus TCP, or a protocol driver.
Late warnings
Bearings fail between inspections with no warning anyone saw.
Late warnings
Vibration and temperature rules alert maintenance when a reading starts drifting.
Vendor portals
Each machine maker sells its own portal with its own login.
Vendor portals
One platform in your account collects every machine's data in one place.
A gearbox on your packaging line starts running hot on Tuesday. Nobody notices, because the only temperature reading is on the panel display, and the operator copies it onto a clipboard once a shift. By Thursday the line is down, a technician is waiting on parts, and the order behind it slips. Your newer machines each have a vendor portal with its own login. Your older ones have nothing. When your plant manager asks for downtime by cause, someone spends a day stitching spreadsheets together.
We start with a tag list: the handful of signals on each machine that someone will act on. Then we collect them read-only through an edge gateway over OPC UA, Modbus TCP, or MQTT. They land in a historian, with dashboards and alert rules on top. That gearbox now warns maintenance when its temperature trend climbs. You see every machine on one screen, not one portal per vendor.
Reads the PLCs you own
We connect older and newer controllers over OPC UA, Modbus TCP, or MQTT, read-only first.
Alerts tied to maintenance
Condition rules on vibration, temperature, and current warn the technician who owns that asset.
Data that survives outages
Edge gateways buffer your readings when the network drops and send them once it's back.
Our Industrial IoT Development Services Process
From Panel Readings to Live Plant Data in Five Clear Steps
You approve the tag list and the alert rules before anything gets installed. Then your maintenance team checks live readings against the panel until they trust the dashboard.
We walk your line on a video call with maintenance and controls staff and list each machine's controller, protocol, and network path. You get a tag list, a note on network risks, and an honest view on whether an off-the-shelf kit covers it.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built internal dashboards and business software for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Plant Teams Trust Us Near Their Machines
Software that touches a production line has to respect the people and controls already there. These habits keep your line safe while the data starts flowing.
Read-only before anything else
We start by only reading data from your controllers. Any write to a setpoint goes through your controls engineer and a change process you approve.
Your OT network respected
We place gateways where your IT and controls teams agree, following the zones and conduits idea in ISA/IEC 62443. Plant traffic stays off the office network unless there's a reason.
Fewer tags, better tags
We collect the signals someone will act on, not every tag a PLC exposes. A lean tag list keeps your storage cheap and your dashboards readable.
Honest about kits
If an off-the-shelf sensor kit or your machine vendor's portal covers the job, we'll tell you before we quote. A build makes sense only when it doesn't.
One price per site
You get a fixed price for each site before any gateway is ordered. Adding machines later gets its own written quote, so your budget holds.
You own the platform
The code, gateway configs, and cloud accounts sit in your company's name. You don't pay us per device, per tag, or per month to keep your data.

Good fit
Plants with older machines and mixed PLCs
Your floor runs machines from several decades and brands, and you want their run, idle, and fault states on one screen without replacing controllers.
Maintenance managers chasing surprise failures
Your bearings and gearboxes fail between inspections, and you want vibration and temperature alerts before your line stops.
Plant managers who need industrial IoT consulting
You're weighing several IIoT platforms and want industrial IoT consulting from someone who looks at your machines before your budget.
Oil, gas, and water operators
Your tanks, pumps, and wellheads sit far apart, and someone still drives the route to read gauges a cellular gateway could report.
Machine builders and controls integrators
Your firm sells equipment or controls work, and your customers now ask for remote monitoring you'd rather not build in-house.
Not a fit
Budget under $1,250
You want one temperature reading on a phone. An off-the-shelf wireless sensor kit with its own app costs less than any build.
Need sensors or wiring
You need sensors mounted, panels wired, or PLC programs changed. That's a job for a controls integrator, and we build the software once data is reachable.
OT network not mapped
Your plant network is flat and nobody has mapped what talks to what. Our OT Security Services should segment it before new devices go online.
Want predictions only
You already have years of clean sensor history and want failure prediction models. Our Predictive Analytics Services team builds those models on data you have.

Industrial IoT is the use of connected sensors, machines, and software in plants and field sites to collect operating data and act on it. It links the PLCs and sensors on your floor to historians, dashboards, and business systems. Your goal is fewer surprises: earlier warnings, less manual logging, and decisions made from real readings.
IIoT stands for the industrial internet of things, the industrial side of IoT. It differs from smart home IoT in what's at stake. Devices sit next to machines with safety interlocks, run for decades, and speak protocols such as OPC UA and Modbus. So IIoT projects favor read-only access, local buffering, and network segmentation.
Our industrial IoT services start at $1,250 for a line pilot that connects up to 5 machines to a historian, a dashboard, and alerts. A plant monitoring platform with condition-based maintenance and OEE starts at $3,900, and a multi-site platform starts at $8,200. Sensors and gateway hardware are bought separately, and you get a fixed quote after a free site review.
A line pilot takes 4 to 6 weeks, and a plant or multi-site platform takes 8 to 18 weeks. Your first weeks go to the tag list: which signals each machine exposes, and over which protocol. Gateway or sensor lead times can add time, so we help you order hardware in the first week.
Sensors enable condition-based maintenance by triggering work when your readings show wear, not when the calendar says so. Vibration, temperature, and motor current feed rules per asset type, so one rule set covers hundreds of similar motors. At scale the hard part is tuning thresholds per machine and routing each alert to the right person on your team.
IoT has mainly replaced manual readings and guesswork with continuous data. Plants see downtime as it happens, utilities read meters remotely, and fleets track equipment hours for service. The benefit depends on someone acting on the data, so we design your alerts around the person who has to respond.
IoT technology lets oil and gas operators watch remote assets without driving to them. Tank levels, wellhead and pipeline pressure, and pump health arrive over cellular or satellite links. If your sites already run SCADA, new software usually reads from it or fills its gaps. Field gateways need store-and-forward, because remote connections drop.
Buy a platform when its connectors and dashboards cover your machines and the per-device fees fit your budget. Build when you need to own the data model, connect unusual equipment, or stop paying per tag. Many of our builds sit on AWS IoT SiteWise or Azure IoT Hub, so you get managed plumbing with software you own.
Most of it reads machines through OPC UA, Modbus TCP, or MQTT. Newer PLCs often include an OPC UA server, while older ones speak Modbus or need a vendor driver. Edge gateways then publish readings over MQTT, often in the Sparkplug B format. AWS IoT SiteWise Edge, for example, reads OPC UA servers directly from your plant network.
Look for partners that ask about your network and safety before your dashboards. A good partner starts read-only, plans for dropped connections, names the protocol for each machine, and hands you the code and data. If a proposal keeps your tag data inside their platform, ask what leaving would cost before you sign.
