Capability framework

Four layers, assessed together

A decision in one layer constrains the others. We evaluate the stack as a whole rather than selecting components in isolation.

01

RFID and sensing

Frequency families, reader form factors and sensor types selected for the physical environment.

  • UHF
  • HF
  • LF
  • Fixed readers
  • Handheld
  • Active tracking
  • Environmental sensors
02

Industrial communication

Protocols that carry data reliably from the plant floor to the enterprise and the cloud.

  • EtherNet/IP
  • PROFINET
  • Modbus TCP
  • OPC UA
  • MQTT
  • Secure edge-to-cloud
03

Software and data

Deployment models, interfaces and storage chosen around the data you actually need to use.

  • Cloud
  • On-premise
  • REST APIs
  • Relational DB
  • Time-series DB
  • Security controls
04

Embedded and edge

The languages, platforms and architectures behind the devices at the edge of the system.

  • C / C++
  • Python
  • Embedded Linux
  • RTOS
  • Microcontrollers
  • Edge compute nodes
