Built for the factory floor

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

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.

Offline resilience

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

Single source of truth

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

High-volume telemetry

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

Secure integrations & audit trail

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

ERP compatibility & write-back

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