Capability · Observation

Connect every signal the floor emits.

Industrial systems speak in dozens of dialects — Modbus and EtherNet/IP at the field, OPC UA at the cell, MQTT Sparkplug B at the line, ISA-95 from the cell to the enterprise. Observation is the layer that ingests, time-aligns, and persists every one of them — plus the vision, acoustic, and robotic streams legacy SCADA was never asked to handle.

01

PLC + DCS + SCADA + MES + ERP + LIMS

Modbus TCP / RTU and EtherNet/IP at the field. Profinet on Siemens-heavy fleets. OPC UA at the cell with rich object models. MQTT Sparkplug B as the bus from the line up to plant systems. ISA-95 levels 0-4 mapped into a Unified Namespace so every datum carries its enterprise context (site / area / line / cell / station). MES, ERP, LIMS connectors so production-order context, batch records, and lab data sit alongside live telemetry.

02

MTConnect + machine-tool telemetry

Spindle load, axis position, feedrate, tool-change cycles, override percentage, alarm history — all over MTConnect for CNC machining centers, mills, lathes, grinders. The platform fingerprints each machine for predictive-maintenance enrolment without bespoke integration work.

03

Robotic telemetry (ROS 2)

Joint state, end-effector pose, force-torque, gripper state, planning trajectories — across ROS 2 for cobots and AMRs, vendor-native APIs for KUKA, ABB, FANUC, Universal Robots, Yaskawa. Telemetry feeds the platform's robot health model and the agent's task-execution dashboard.

04

Vision

Cognex In-Sight 3800-class line cameras inspect at 1,200+ parts per minute with multi-torch illumination. Drone imagery for asset surveys (lines, towers, mining benches). Pole and ceiling cameras for cobot safety zones. SAM 3.1 masks and Qwen3-VL/Pixtral inference at the edge — Pixtral on Hailo-10H, Qwen3-VL on Jetson Orin Nano Super or NVIDIA IGX Thor.

05

Vibration + acoustic emission

Wireless vibration sensors on rotating assets capture RMS, kurtosis, crest factor, envelope spectra, and band-power features at the edge — only feature vectors leave the cabinet. Acoustic-emission sensors detect bearing wear earlier than vibration thanks to higher frequency sensitivity. PANNs CNN14 classifies fingerprinted assets continuously; YAMNet emits embeddings on-device so raw audio never leaves the perimeter.

06

Heavy-fleet telematics

CAT VisionLink, Komatsu KOMTRAX, John Deere TimberManager / TimberMatic Maps, Sandvik AutoMine, Ponsse Opti 5G — vendor telemetry pulled in alongside customer SCADA. Position, fuel, hours, oil temp, load cycles. The platform contextualises each asset against its OEM duty curve.

07

Standards & operational text

ISA-95 architecture reference, IEC 62443 zones-and-conduits map, ISO 10218 collaborative-cell envelopes, GMP batch records, FSMA 204 traceability events, work instructions, deviations, MOC records. Embedded with Gemini Embedding 2 and stored in pgvector halfvec. The agent retrieves from this corpus before it acts.
