Platform Modules

A modular IIoT platform — enable exactly the capabilities you need per machine. Each module works independently or together as a complete MES.

OEE Monitoring

Real-time Overall Equipment Effectiveness

Track Availability, Performance, and Quality in real time for every machine on your floor. PulseMQ calculates OEE per ISO 22400 standards with shift-based analytics, automatic downtime categorization, and machine-to-machine comparison.

  • Live OEE, availability, performance, quality gauges
  • Multi-machine overview with grid or table layout
  • Automatic shift detection and shift-based reporting
  • Target vs. actual tracking with color-coded status
  • Downtime reason categorization and Pareto analysis
  • Works on phone, tablet, desktop, or big-screen TVs

Production Scheduling

Visual timeline and work order management

Plan and track production across all machines with a visual Gantt-style timeline. Create work orders, set priorities, and monitor progress in real time. ISA-106 job tracking with state history and timeline view.

  • Visual Gantt timeline by machine and work center
  • ISA-106 job lifecycle tracking (queued, active, complete)
  • Drag-and-drop scheduling with priority management
  • Auto-create jobs in autonomous mode
  • State history timeline with color-coded transitions
  • Work order dispatch to PLCs via Sparkplug B
Production Schedule

Batch & Recipe Management

ISA-88 compliant recipe and batch control

Full ISA-88 recipe versioning with multi-phase batch execution tracking. Create master recipes, version them, and dispatch control recipes to PLCs. Queue management with priority scheduling and PackML state machine integration.

  • Master recipe library with version control
  • Multi-phase recipe with material and maintenance links
  • Recipe download to PLC via Sparkplug B DCMD
  • PackML 18-state machine model support
  • Batch queue with priority scheduling
  • Output tracking with transition categorization
Batch Management

Maintenance Management

Predictive and scheduled PM tracking

Counter-based and time-based maintenance scheduling with predictive alerts. Track maintenance across all machines with reusable task templates, parts inventory, and phase-linked maintenance that triggers based on recipe usage.

  • Counter-based PM (machine cycles, run hours)
  • Time-based scheduling with calendar view
  • Predicted maintenance dates based on usage rate
  • Phase-linked maintenance from recipe execution
  • Pre-batch check blocks dispatch if PM overdue
  • Cross-machine task list and parts inventory
Maintenance Management

Material Tracking

Lot traceability, scanning, and genealogy

Full lot and sublot traceability with barcode scanning support. Track material consumption, demand forecasting, and shortage warnings. ISA-106 PLC-owned material tracking via UDT signals for continuous processes.

  • Material catalog with lot and sublot management
  • Barcode scanning for material loading/unloading
  • Consumption tracking tied to batch execution
  • Demand forecasting and shortage warnings
  • ISA-106 UDT signal-based PLC material tracking
  • Full genealogy for compliance and recall readiness
Material Tracking

Reports & Analytics

Automated reports and historical analysis

Automated shift reports delivered to your inbox. Historical OEE analytics with drill-down by machine, shift, recipe, and time period. Export to CSV/Excel or schedule recurring email distribution.

  • Automated shift and daily summary reports
  • Historical OEE analytics with date range filtering
  • Machine comparison and benchmarking
  • CSV and Excel export
  • Scheduled email distribution
  • AI-powered bottleneck and trend analysis
Reports & Analytics

Alarm Management

Smart alerts and notification routing

Get notified the moment something goes wrong. Configure priority levels, route alerts to the right people via SMS, email, or on-screen notification. Alarm history and pattern analysis help you separate signal from noise.

  • Priority-based alarm configuration per machine
  • SMS, email, and on-screen notifications
  • Role-based alert routing
  • Alarm history and pattern analysis
  • Configurable thresholds and deadbands
  • Alarm shelving and acknowledgment workflow
Alarm & System Administration

MQTT & Sparkplug B

Native industrial connectivity

Built from the ground up on MQTT and Sparkplug B — not bolted on as an afterthought. Bidirectional communication means PulseMQ doesn't just read data, it sends commands back to PLCs. Auto-discover tags from birth certificates.

  • Native Sparkplug B protocol support
  • Simple MQTT and Dual Mode options
  • Bidirectional: read data AND send DCMD to PLCs
  • Auto-tag discovery from PLC birth certificates
  • Works with any MQTT broker
  • REST API and GraphQL for custom integrations
