Companies looking for a Data Management solution that automatically organizes multiple forms of data
About Plantweb Optics
Plantweb™ Optics is an enterprise-level, data management solution that helps manufacturers fully leverage meaningful operations data across a production site or from multiple sites by securely collecting and contextualizing data, on premise or using cloud technology. To drive real business improvement, you need to seamlessly leverage valuable operations data from across the enterprise but accessing and aggregating this type of data can be difficult. Operations data is often stored in a wide range of formats and siloed across systems, functions and facilities. And moving millions of data streams across legacy OT networks without disruption to plant systems has presented an even greater challenge, until now. Plantweb Optics can address the technical challenges associated with communicating with legacy OT systems and protocols and combine data from multiple sources into a single TCP data stream.

BeamWise
BeamWise is a set of software tools and related services for the design of biophotonic and other complex optical systems. It is implemented using Design++, a knowledge-based engineering platform that simplifies the capture of in-house engineering expertise and streamlines the integration of legacy systems into design automation and product configuration solutions. BeamWise fills the gap between the optical and mechanical worlds by augmenting CAD tools like AutoCAD and SolidWorks with design rules and a component library, ensuring that beam alignment is maintained as design changes propagate through the system. This design automation system addresses significant challenges in optical system design, such as costly prototype iterations, time-consuming design documentation, and poor predictability of instrument performance, by automating the creation of 3D CAD models and design documentation, including drawings and parts lists.

FactoryTalk Edge Gateway
Industrial data is generated in such volumes and high speeds that it’s difficult to capture accurately. Even if you could, its use is likely limited by lack of both context and consumability. With operational data locked in disparate devices or siloed in systems of record, data scientists expend significant effort on data preparation and are hard-pressed to extract actionable industrial performance insights. FactoryTalk® Edge Gateway™ software addresses these challenges, unlocking actionable plant and enterprise-level insights to accelerate IIoT digital transformation. It simplifies and automates the collection, contextualization, and organization of industrial equipment data across machines, devices and automation assets at the source itself—enabling high data integrity from the outset. It provides the right foundation to drive edge-to-cloud IT/OT convergence at the enterprise level so that everyone from the shop floor to the top floor can make smarter decisions.

Mast MES
Most manufacturing teams run on spreadsheets, disconnected systems, and tribal knowledge. Legacy MES platforms promise to fix this — but take 12–18 months to implement and still can't handle high-mix, low-volume production.
Mast MES is different. Built AI-native from the ground up, Mast connects to your existing plant systems in weeks and delivers value from day one.
Our AI agent goes beyond dashboards. It monitors production data, spots bottlenecks before they escalate, and recommends scheduling changes autonomously — like a plant manager's co-pilot that never sleeps.
Core capabilities: real-time OEE monitoring, AI-optimized scheduling, digital twin simulation, continuous improvement tools, and a unified data layer that eliminates silos across your operation.
Purpose-built for changeover-heavy environments — food & beverage, CPG, discrete manufacturing, and multi-site operations. Our 8-week phased implementation means you see ROI before most legacy vendors finish scoping.
