What We Do

Industrial IoT & SCADA Dashboard Development

From the factory floor to the cloud — we design industrial IoT telemetry systems and real-time monitoring dashboards with engineering precision.

Microcontroller & PLC Automation

Cost-effective, flexible microcontroller and PLC-based systems for industrial process automation, data acquisition, and control — engineered for South African plants.

Custom SCADA Dashboards

Custom SCADA dashboard development with real-time factory monitoring software — live machine performance, production metrics, and operational KPIs in your browser.

Industrial IoT Telemetry

End-to-end industrial IoT telemetry system design — connecting sensors, PLCs, and equipment to a remote PLC monitoring dashboard accessible from anywhere.

Our Edge

Traditional PLC vs. Custom Industrial Automation

Industrial process automation shouldn't be locked into expensive, rigid systems. Here's how our approach differs.

✗

Traditional PLC

  • Expensive proprietary hardware and licensing
  • Rigid architecture that's hard to modify
  • Difficult to scale or integrate with modern systems
  • Vendor lock-in with limited flexibility
✓

Our Systems

  • Cost-effective hardware with no licensing fees
  • Flexible architecture — adapt and extend as needed
  • Cloud-connected, smart, and easy to scale
  • Open standards with full ownership of your system
Integration Flow

End-to-End Data Pipeline

From physical sensors to cloud dashboards — we build the full chain.

01

Sensors

Field devices that capture temperature, pressure, vibration, flow, and more — the raw signal from your equipment.

02

Controllers

A PLC, microcontroller, or edge processing unit reads sensor data and handles logic in real time on-site.

03

Dashboard

Live analytics, alerts, and a control interface turn raw readings into decisions your team can act on.

04

Cloud

Remote access, secure storage, historical analytics, and API integration with the rest of your systems.

Capture

Collect real-world data from your assets.

Process

Validate, filter, and process data at the edge.

Visualize

Transform data into insights and actionable alerts.

Store & Scale

Store securely, scale seamlessly in the cloud.

What You Can Monitor

Complete Visibility Into Your Operations

Know exactly what's happening on your factory floor, in your field, or across your supply chain — in real time.

Machine Performance

Track uptime, cycle times, throughput, and efficiency metrics for every machine on your floor.

Production Data

Real-time production counts, quality metrics, and batch tracking with full historical data.

Energy Usage

Monitor power consumption, identify inefficiencies, and reduce energy costs across your facility.

Fault Alerts

Instant notifications when equipment faults, threshold breaches, or anomalies are detected.

Custom PLC Alternatives

More Flexible. More Affordable. Fully Tailored.

Not every industrial problem needs a R50,000 PLC. We build smarter alternatives that cost less and do more.

Microcontroller-Based Systems

ESP32, Arduino, STM32, and Raspberry Pi-based control systems for applications that don't need the overhead of a full PLC. Programmable, connected, and a fraction of the cost.

Custom PLC Units

We design and build bespoke PLC units tailored to your specific machinery and processes. No off-the-shelf black boxes — just exactly what you need.

Built-In HMI Screens

Custom touchscreen interfaces with real-time machine data, operator controls, and status monitoring — designed for your specific use case and environment.

Fully Tailored Solutions

Every system we build is designed from the ground up for your application. Hardware, firmware, software, and cloud — fully integrated and delivered as one.

Industries

Serving Industries Across Africa

Our industrial solutions are deployed in manufacturing plants, farms, energy facilities, and logistics hubs.

Manufacturing

Production line automation, quality control systems, and real-time machine monitoring for factories and plants.

Agriculture

Smart irrigation, environmental monitoring, greenhouse automation, and livestock tracking systems.

Energy

Solar monitoring, generator control, battery management, and energy consumption optimization systems.

Logistics

FAQ

Industrial IoT & SCADA — Technical FAQ

How do you connect PLCs to a cloud dashboard?

We use an edge gateway — a microcontroller or industrial PC — that polls the PLC over Modbus, OPC-UA, or its native protocol, then publishes readings via MQTT or REST to a cloud data pipeline. That data lands in a time-series database and renders in a custom SCADA dashboard with live values, trend history, and configurable alarm thresholds.

What protocols do you support for industrial IoT telemetry?

Modbus RTU/TCP, OPC-UA, MQTT, and REST/HTTP APIs, along with direct GPIO and analog sensor interfacing on microcontroller-based systems (ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi). We match the protocol to your existing hardware rather than forcing a proprietary standard.

Can I monitor my PLC remotely from anywhere?

Yes — once your PLC is connected to our telemetry pipeline, the dashboard is accessible from any browser, on any device, with role-based access control. Remote PLC monitoring includes live status, historical trends, and instant fault/alarm notifications.

Do I need to replace my existing PLC hardware?

Usually not. We build gateways that read from your existing PLCs and controllers rather than requiring a rip-and-replace. Where a legacy system genuinely limits what's possible, we'll tell you directly and scope a custom PLC alternative.
