We are the engineers who kept going
15 years in factories. Siemens PLC. Historians. DCS. We saw what was missing — and we built it.
The Mission
Every PLC/SCADA engineer deserves the tools that enterprise companies pay €40,000/year for — but open source, self-hosted, for €8/month.
We spent 15 years building data integrations from scratch at every client. Different PLC brand, different protocol, zero reuse. Then we discovered the missing layer — the ISA-95 semantic model. The layer between your historian and your AI.
We built the Industrial Data Platform to teach every factory engineer what we learned. Not theory. Not vendor demos. A real, working, open-source stack that you own completely.

What drives this program
Engineer-first principles, not vendor interests
Practical
Every lesson builds something you can deploy at a real client. No theoretical frameworks. No vendor demos. Real open-source stack, real factory data.
Open Source Only
Mosquitto/MonsterMQ, N8N, FastAPI, MongoDB, Grafana, Docker. Zero vendor lock-in. Zero licence fees. You own everything you build.
Honest
Walker Reynolds teaches great principles but upsells you to Ignition (€1,500-€5,000/year). We teach the same concepts with open source tools that cost you nothing extra.
Reusable
One framework, infinite clients. The whole point is to build something you deploy in < 1 hour at every new factory project.
AI-Ready
The semantic layer you build is exactly what LLMs and AI agents need to understand your factory. Build it now — before your clients ask for AI integration.
Engineer-First
This program is built by a factory engineer for factory engineers. The language, the examples, the tools — all from 15 years on the shop floor.
The Story
We spent 15 years building the same data integration at every factory client. Siemens S7, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff — different PLC, same problem. Data stuck in the PLC. No central storage. No reuse. Every client, start from zero.
Then we saw the pattern. Every factory had data collection, storage, and dashboards. But none of them had the layer in between — the semantic model. The ISA-95 context layer that turns TIC-001 = 67.3 into 'Pasteurizer · 67.3°C · Normal · OK'. That's the missing layer.
We built the Industrial Data Platform — a reusable, open-source stack that deploys at every new client in less than 1 hour. AVEVA Connect charges €40,000/year for what you build in JSON. We teach you to do the same.
"Your factory doesn't have a data problem. It has a meaning problem. Fix the model layer — and everything changes."
