CONTROLLED CONNECTIVITY
Production teams want access to real-time machine data, but every new integration introduces risk. Separate gateways, scripts and temporary solutions quickly grow into an unmanageable architecture.
FactoryNebula creates one structured data layer between shop floor and business systems. You provide access to operational insight while keeping ownership, security and system integrity intact.
Digitalization becomes manageable instead of fragmented.
Different machines, protocols and vendors often require custom connections. Over time this creates technical debt and security concerns.
Use to:
Connect mixed machine environments through one controlled interface
Avoid ad-hoc scripts and one-off integrations
Provide consistent data access to other systems
Why this matters:
Less maintenance overhead and a cleaner architecture.
Operational data must be accessible, but never uncontrolled. Cloud-only solutions or direct connections can limit control over infrastructure and data location.
Use to:
Deploy cloud, on-premise or hybrid
Control user access by role
Integrate with ERP or MES through open APIs
Why this matters:
Operational visibility without compromising compliance or stability.
FAQs
No. FactoryNebula operates as a separate data layer and only reads machine data. It does not control machines or alter PLC logic, so existing automation systems continue to operate normally.
Yes. The platform supports on-premise, cloud or hybrid deployment. You decide where the data is stored and how it is accessed, maintaining full ownership and compliance with internal policies.
Instead of multiple point-to-point integrations, FactoryNebula standardizes machine data access in one structured platform. This prevents the growth of unmanaged connections and reduces long-term technical debt.
Access is role-based. Each department only sees the information relevant to its responsibilities while the architecture remains centralized and controlled.
Yes. The platform is designed as a long-term data architecture. New machines or sites can be connected without creating custom integrations or re-engineering the system.
