Industrial data management and business intelligence for manufacturers
Your plant produces data every second. We help you collect it reliably, give it structure and context, and turn it into dashboards and insight that people actually use.
Plenty of data. Not enough insight
Plant data is spread across PLCs, historians, spreadsheets, quality systems and the ERP. Tags have cryptic names, and every system speaks a different language. Before anyone can analyse the data, someone has to find it, clean it and explain it, again and again.
We fix that at the source, so your data arrives ready to use.
- Our Approach
From raw signals to decisions in four steps
Connect: IIoT and edge
OPC UA, MQTT and Sparkplug B connectivity; edge gateways such as Ignition Edge and Litmus; store-and-forward so no data is lost when the network drops; links between sites.
Organise: the data foundation
A Unified Namespace for all plant data; asset models based on ISA-95; historians such as the Ignition historian and Canary; SQL databases; naming and data-quality standards.
Analyse: business intelligence
Role-based dashboards from the operator to the boardroom; KPIs for OEE, energy, quality and throughput; Power BI, Grafana, Flow Software and Ignition dashboards; automatic reports.
Prepare: analytics and AI readiness
Clean, contextualised data sets ready for predictive maintenance, anomaly detection and AI tools, with connections to your data platforms.
One structure for all your plant data
A Unified Namespace (UNS) is a single, organised structure where every system publishes its data and every application finds it, arranged by site, area, line and machine. Instead of dozens of fragile point-to-point connections, you have one source of truth that is easy to extend when you add a machine, a line or a new application.
The right information for every role
Operators
Live line status, targets and alarms at the point of work.
Supervisors
Shift performance, downtime reasons and handover notes.
Maintenance
Equipment condition, breakdown history and early warning signs.
Quality
Connect MES to your ESPC charts, deviations and traceability in one place.RP
Plant and operations managers
OEE, output and energy across lines and shifts.
Leadership
Site and multi-site KPIs and trends, without waiting for month-end.
A data foundation that's ready for AI
Predictive maintenance, anomaly detection and AI assistants all depend on the same thing: clean, connected data with context. We build that foundation first, so when you are ready for advanced analytics, your data is ready too. We’ll be clear about what your data can support today, and what it will take to go further.
Predictive Maintenance
Anomaly Detection
Energy Optimisation

Deployed where it suits you, secured by design
01
Deployment
On-premise, on AWS or Microsoft Azure, or a hybrid of both. We design around your IT policies and network.
02
Security
Separated OT and IT networks, encrypted connections, role-based access and audit trails, following IEC 62443 principles.
- Frequently Asked Questions
Industrial data: common questions
What is IIoT?
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) means connecting machines, sensors and equipment so their data can be collected and used across the business, not just at the machine.
What is a Unified Namespace?
A single, organised structure for all plant data, arranged by site, area, line and machine. Every system publishes to it and every application reads from it, which replaces many point-to-point connections.
Do we need new sensors?
Often not. Most plants already have much of the data they need in PLCs and existing systems. We connect those first and add sensors only where there is a clear gap.
Should our data live in the cloud or on-premise?
Either can work. Real-time operations usually stay on-premise, while long-term analytics and multi-site reporting often suit the cloud. We’ll recommend what fits your needs and IT policies.
Will this work with our existing systems?
Yes. We build on open standards such as OPC UA, MQTT and SQL, so existing PLCs, SCADA, historians and ERP can be connected without being replaced.
How do you keep plant data secure?
We separate OT and IT networks, encrypt connections, control access by role and keep audit trails. Security is designed in from the start.
