Heavy manufacturing runs on mixed iron. Your operational view shouldn't fragment because of it.
Decades-old presses beside last year's CNCs. FANUC next to Siemens S7 next to Modbus PLCs. Elpis collects from all of it over native protocols, normalizes every signal to one vocabulary, and watches the rotating equipment that can't fail — without replacing a single machine. Operating across India and the Middle East.
Live integrations: FOCAS2 · MTConnect · Brother HTTP · Modbus TCP · OPC UA Client · Siemens S7. FANUC MT-LINKi REST on the roadmap.
Five generations of iron, one production target.
A heavy-manufacturing floor is an archaeology of capital decisions. A hydraulic press commissioned in 1998 still stamping good parts. A FANUC turning center from the 2010s. A Siemens-controlled line cell added last year. A row of older machines fronted by Modbus PLCs because their original interfaces never survived a network-security review. Every one of them is making parts. None of them speaks the same language.
The cost of that fragmentation is concentrated and expensive. A large press or a flagship CNC going down doesn't slow a line — it stops one. Maintenance hears about a bearing or a hydraulic fault from the operator who noticed the noise, not from a trend. OEE gets reconciled across bays in a spreadsheet on Monday, describing a problem that already cost the weekend. And the data that would have caught it early was on the floor the whole time — just never reaching the people who could act.
Replacing the iron isn't the answer. It's depreciated, validated for the parts it runs, and the operators know it by feel. What needs to modernize is the data layer, not the machines. The heavy shops that get there put one protocol-agnostic runtime in front of every controller, normalize every signal at the edge, instrument the consequence-heavy rotating equipment, and let the existing systems keep doing their jobs.
"The data that would have caught it early was on the floor the whole time."
The data layer modernizes. The iron stays.

The outcomes a heavy floor reaches for.
Built for floors where downtime is measured in stopped lines.
Elpis is deployed across heavy fabrication and machining operations — mixed-vendor floors with consequence-heavy rotating equipment. Operating across India and the Middle East. The platform runs offline-first: the license validates locally with no phone-home, and per-route store-and-forward is built to preserve every reading through a network or broker drop — queuing locally and replaying in source order on reconnect. Every configuration change is captured in a hash-chained, tamper-evident audit trail.

What heavy-manufacturing teams ask first.
Which of our machines can you actually collect from?
FANUC over FOCAS2, Siemens controllers over S7, older machines fronted by a PLC over Modbus TCP, plus MTConnect, Brother HTTP, and OPC UA Client where it's exposed — all shipping today. FANUC MT-LINKi REST integration is on the roadmap. Bring the controller list to the scoping call and we confirm the collection path per machine.
Do we have to replace our older presses and CNCs?
No. EdgeConnect reads each controller as a read-only client — it never changes control logic, and no machine comes offline to connect it. The iron stays; the data layer modernizes.
Can you monitor our presses and large motors for failure?
Yes — that's what VAS and E-IDOS are for. VAS reads vibration signatures on rotating equipment (motors, gearboxes, fans, presses); E-IDOS reads hydraulic and lubrication oil health. They give early warning when a signature crosses a threshold your maintenance team defines — a better trigger than a calendar, not a guarantee against every failure.
We run more than one plant. Does this aggregate?
Each plant runs its own EdgeConnect with a per-gateway identity; EREMOS V2 aggregates across plants for a fleet view. Multi-site visibility comes from aggregation — never from one runtime stretched across plants. → /solutions/multi-site-operations
Does this replace our SCADA or MES?
No. Elpis sits beside them. EdgeConnect publishes canonical signals (MQTT, OPC UA Server); EREMOS V2 exposes OEE, alarms, and reports via API. Your SCADA keeps operator HMIs and control; your MES keeps scheduling and work orders. → /architecture
Looking for the same thing from another angle?
Bring us your floor — every vintage of it.
A controller list, the rotating equipment that worries you, and an OEE definition — that's enough to scope a proof of value. We run it on your real protocols against your real signals.
