Your plant already has the data. We make it answer four questions.

We connect the machines, energy meters, thermal cameras, panel sensors and accounts you already have to one data layer. Each person then gets the figures they need, from the owner's cash position to a shot record on the shop floor.

01 · The problems

Four problems that cost plants money every month

Each one is a separate module. A plant can start with one and add others later, on the same hardware and the same data.

Compliance

EU buyers now need verified carbon data for every shipment

Since January 2026, EU importers of steel and aluminium goods must declare embedded emissions. Without the exporter's own figures, the importer has to use default values with a mark-up, and buyers notice.

+10% → +30%default mark-up, 2026 to 2028

build one energy and emissions ledger from your bills and meters, and issue a signed carbon passport per shipment.

Quality

Scrap is found at the end of the line, after the cause has gone

When a part fails, nobody can say what the melt, pressure, dryer or mould was doing at that moment. The setter adjusts by feel and the problem returns next week.

2–5%scrap commonly reported in moulding

record a fingerprint of every shot or batch, link it to good or scrap, and show the window that works.

Safety

Electrical faults heat up for days before a fire starts

A loose busbar joint or an overloaded panel warms up slowly. Smoke detectors only react when something is already burning, often at night when nobody is there.

1 in 6fires in India recorded as short circuit (NCRB 2024)

watch panels and stores continuously with thermal sensors, and raise alarms locally even when the internet is down.

Process

Nobody knows why machines stop, so delivery dates are guesses

Downtime is written on paper, if at all. Cycle times drift without anyone noticing. Orders are promised on capacity the shop floor doesn't have.

55–60%typical OEE, against 85% world class

count parts and stops automatically, let operators tag the reason in one tap, and check promise dates against real capacity.

02 · The platform

One layer underneath, many answers on top

The four modules share one gateway, one model of your plant and one store of evidence. Data comes in once. It goes out in the form each person needs, to the owner, plant head, quality engineer, maintenance team, export desk, auditor or insurer.

Coloured squares show which modules use each source and feed each view: ■ Compliance ■ Quality ■ Safety ■ Process

Connect once

One gateway per plant reads every source. A second module uses the same gateway and meters, so you don't pay for them twice.

Keeps working offline

The gateway stores 30 days of data through internet cuts and runs fire alarms on its own battery and SIM.

Every figure has a source

Each number links to a meter reading, invoice, machine record or logged entry. AI suggests and forecasts; it never invents a reported figure.

One plant model

Machines, panels, meters and products are mapped once during onboarding and shared by all four modules.

03 · Who sees what

Cloud, hosted in India

No servers to run. Data stays in an Indian region.

On-premise

Same features on a server at your plant, for plants that keep data inside.

Start without new hardware

Begin with bills, machine files and Tally. Add meters, sensors and cameras when the numbers justify them.

05 · How we build

Rules we don't break

  • Read-only to your machinesWe never change a setpoint or switch equipment. People make the changes.
  • Numbers you can defendAnything an auditor, buyer or insurer sees traces back to a reading, a document or a logged entry.
  • Works through power and internet cutsThe gateway buffers data and runs alarms on its own.
  • Data stays in IndiaIndian cloud region or your own server. Messages carry headlines only; details stay behind login.
  • Secure by defaultOutbound-only connections, a certificate per device, signed readings, and read-only access for verifiers.
  • People are not trackedNo operator ranking, no face recognition, no attendance use.

06 · How we start

Start with one problem on one line

  1. Plant walk-throughWe walk the plant with you and list the machines, meters, panels and records you already have.One day on site
  2. Pick one problemChoose the module that matters most now, and agree the figures that will show it worked.Written scope before we start
  3. Pilot on existing dataConnect one line or one area, using what is already there. Add sensors only where they're needed.Typically 8 to 12 weeks
  4. ExtendRoll out to the plant, or add a second module on the same gateway and plant model.Cloud or on-premise

07 · Questions

Questions plant owners ask us

Do we need to buy new machines or sensors?

No. Every module starts with data you already have: power and fuel bills, Tally, machine controller data or USB files, and operator entries. Meters, sensors and cameras are added only where they pay back.

Our machines are 15 years old. Will this work?

Yes. Newer controllers connect over OPC UA, FOCAS or MTConnect. Older machines are read with a clamp-on current sensor for run and stop, plus a part-count signal.

Can the software change machine settings?

No. The platform is read-only to equipment. It recommends; your setter or engineer decides and makes the change.

What happens when the internet goes down?

The gateway keeps 30 days of data and uploads it when the line returns. Safety alarms, sirens and calls run locally on the gateway's battery and SIM.

Where is our data kept, and who can see it?

In an Indian cloud region or on your own server. Each person sees only their view. Verifiers and buyers get read-only, time-limited access to what you share with them.

How is the forecast for management made?

From confirmed orders in your ERP or Tally and the capacity your machines actually deliver. It is shown as a forecast with a range, never mixed with actual figures.

Does this replace our fire alarm system or quality inspection?

No. Safety adds early warning on top of code-required fire detection. Quality adds process evidence; final inspection and NDT stay as they are.
