The problem
Industrial IoT shouldn't be reserved for large groups.
Yet more than half of the industrial copilot market is made up of small and mid-sized manufacturers. These companies — often running Siemens, Schneider, Wago, Beckhoff, or Omron PLCs — have neither the budget nor the in-house teams to roll out complex SCADA or IIoT solutions. That's exactly the gap Nodal fills.
Independent
No global vendor standing behind us. Your data belongs to you.
Preconfigured
Plug-and-play unit, installed in under a day.
Read-only
Zero risk to your production — the gateway never writes to your PLCs.
Accessible
A buy-or-lease model plus a SaaS plan sized to stay accessible for SMBs.
Edge collection
An Edge gateway that speaks your machines' language.
The Nodal unit connects to the machine network in read-only mode. It continuously collects the variables that actually describe your production — speed, cycle rate, energy, defects, stoppages, temperatures — then encrypts and streams the data to the cloud platform.

Typical architecture
PLCs → Edge gateway (encryption, aggregation) → Cloud platform → Dashboards & AI agents. No changes to your existing setup, no extra industrial PC required.

Encryption & hosting
Data encrypted in transit and at rest. Hosted in Europe on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure. Your machine network is never publicly exposed.
- IEC 62443 — operational security
- GDPR — analytics data
- ISO 27001 — certified cloud hosting
Specialized AI agents
Your data, your questions, straight answers.
Four agents at your operators' service: performance, predictive maintenance, energy, quality. They rely solely on your machines' historized data — no hallucination, no invention.
Agent Performance
Question
Why has our OEE been dropping since Monday?
Agent's answer
Three causes identified: station 4 in repeated micro-stops (14 min total), a batch change on line B that wasn't communicated to supervision, and a rising quality defect on reference P-218.
Agent Predictive maintenance
Question
Which machine is at risk of failing this week?
Agent's answer
Hydraulic pump #2 at station 7 shows a temperature drift (+6°C over 72h) and rising vibration on channel 2. Estimated failure probability: 71% by Friday.
Agent Energy
Question
Where is our excess consumption coming from?
Agent's answer
34% of the abnormal consumption comes from the air compressor idling 5h/day outside production hours. Estimated savings: €2,800/month by scheduling a real shutdown.
Agent Quality
Question
Which parameters correlate with our defects?
Agent's answer
The strongest correlation (r = 0.82) links quench furnace temperature to scrap on reference T-104. A 4°C drop below setpoint multiplies defects by 2.3x.
Your data, ready to act on
Dashboards that speak your production's language.
Every measurement the gateway collects feeds a dashboard built for your site. Your data always stays viewable and exportable — never locked into the tool.
Dashboard
Every workstation on your site, day to day — plus a rolled-up view if you run several sites.
Reports & alerts
A summary every morning by email, an immediate SMS or email alert as soon as a threshold you set is crossed.
Average OEE 78.4% (+2.1 pts) · 3 stoppages > 10 min · energy stable.
Station 4: stoppage detected 6 min ago.
Open export
CSV or API, any time, without depending on us to cross-reference your data.

How it works
Four steps, from audit to first results.
- 01
A short audit of your fleet
Inventory of your PLCs, identifying the registers and measurement points that matter. No changes to your line — the gateway connects in read-only mode.
- 02
Edge gateway installation
A preconfigured unit we install in your electrical cabinet. It collects machine data continuously, locally, and encrypts it before transmission.
- 03
Platform go-live
Dashboards customized per site, automatic OEE calculation, stoppage analysis, energy tracking. Live in under a week.
- 04
Your AI agents, day to day
Ask in plain language: why OEE is dropping, which machine is about to fail, where the energy is going. Answers are grounded in your historized data.
Security & compliance
Your production data stays your data.
Nodal applies IEC 62443 operational security requirements and follows GDPR for the analytics layer. No third-party access, no reselling, no dependency on a large global vendor.
- IEC 62443
- Industrial systems security
