Industrial IoT platform for manufacturing

Control over your production. Without a big project.

FactoryNebula shows in real time what your machines are doing, where time is lost and where the biggest gains are. Start with one machine and expand when you are ready.

  • Read-only by default
  • Works without internet or cloud
  • Siemens, FANUC, Heidenhain and more

The platform

From machine data to decisions. Without an integration project.

One gateway reads all your machines, of every brand. On top of that you choose what you need, and you expand when you are ready.

All modules

Production hall with sheet metal machines

Connecting machines

Siemens, FANUC, Heidenhain, Allen-Bradley, OPC UA, Modbus and peripherals. No PLC programming, in the same form for every brand.

All connectors

Production hall with a row of CNC machines

Machine monitoring

A real-time overview of all your machines: what is running, what is stopped and since when. On the shop floor and in the office.

About machine monitoring

Screen with production dashboards

OEE dashboard

Availability, performance and quality from machine data, with every number showing what it is based on. No percentage that rests on an assumption.

About the OEE dashboard

Automated production line

Downtime analysis

Every stop recorded automatically with start and duration. See which machines stop most often and for longest.

Workflows

If this, then that, without programming. Respond to a signal, send a command or report an order complete.

About workflows

Assembly line with robots

ERP and CAM integration

Orders as a work list per machine, the drawing with the item and the completion report back to the office.

About the ERP integration

Start with one machine

The Voyager gateway

A compact industrial computer in the cabinet next to your machines. It speaks their languages, converts everything into one form and stores it locally. No cloud needed and no months-long IT project: you start with one machine and expand when you are ready.

Which machines

For the whole organisation

One platform. One version of the truth.

In most factories every department works with its own reports and its own assumptions. FactoryNebula brings machine and production data together in one reliable foundation.

Production

Keep the machines running

Direct insight into status, stops and OEE, without tally sheets. And respond automatically with workflows you create yourself.

Maintenance

From reactive to planned

See the time between failures per machine, and look back in the data analyser at what happened just before a breakdown. Set a limit and get warned earlier from then on.

Management

Honest figures

No OEE of 78% resting on an assumption. Every number shows what it is based on, and if something is missing, the dashboard tells you what.

IT / OT

Secure, without holding back innovation

Works without internet, read-only by default, roles and an audit log. Open standards and a database that any BI tool can read. Built for your supply chain assessment under NIS2.

Quality

Traceability without extra work

Process data recorded automatically per product, code reader results stored and the lot number per order on the coding printer. Without manual input.

How it works

From machine to insight in three steps

No big bang and no big IT project. One gateway, one machine, one dashboard, and then you grow from there.

01

Connect

The Voyager gateway goes into the cabinet next to your machines and reads the first machine. For reading, nothing changes in the PLC program.

02

Insight

Status, stops and parts per hour are available straight away. The OEE dashboard tells you itself what it still needs for the full OEE.

03

Expand

More machines, an ERP integration, workflows or document management: on the same gateway, with the same login.

Industries

Built for manufacturing

From machining to food: wherever machines set the pace, downtime costs money.
