Built for the factory floor

Every architectural decision serves one goal: keeping production data accurate, accessible, and secure.

01

Real-time visibility

Machine state changes reach dashboards in under a second. No polling, no batch delays, just continuous event streaming from shop floor to screen.

02

Offline resilience

Edge gateways and the warehouse PWA use store-and-forward queuing, so data is never lost even when connectivity drops.

03

Single source of truth

One PostgreSQL database holds all operational data (orders, quality checks, inventory, and planning) with row-level tenant isolation.

04

High-volume telemetry

TimescaleDB handles millions of sensor readings per day with automatic compression and retention policies.

05

Secure integrations & audit trail

Every API call is authenticated and tenant-scoped. Digital signatures, approval workflows, and full audit logs meet regulatory requirements.

06

ERP compatibility & write-back

Bidirectional sync with Exact Online keeps orders, items, and BOMs aligned. Production reality flows back to finance automatically.
