Every sensor changes state. Every cylinder strokes. Every PLC evaluates thousands of logic decisions a second. Traditional software records what happened. It never records why.
One machine model — proven once at the Edge, shared by all three. No re-integration between them. Each layer does one job well.
One appliance beside your line. Controllers feed it read-only. It normalizes what it polls and publishes one clean stream to the broker, the apps and the enterprise.
Operators, maintenance and engineers simply ask — and get a straight, evidence-based answer drawn from live machine state and alarm history. It reads your ladder logic.
Availability, performance and quality derived continuously from live signals — not hand-keyed at the end of a shift. Jobs, batches, materials and maintenance all sit on the same model.
You have watched an LLM state something false with total confidence. So have we. That's precisely why the machine-answer path is not "ask a chatbot about a document." Every answer PulseMQ gives is grounded in a live PLC read.
If a tag wasn't polled from the controller in this session, PulseMQ won't invent one. No hallucinated setpoints. No made-up cycle counts.
Alarms, cycle legs, permissives — each is stamped with the tag it came from, the moment it was read, and the source controller. Auditable, replayable, defensible.
Machine Intelligence™ watches every leg of the cycle across tens of thousands of runs. Drift is flagged against a learned normal — deterministic and explainable, not a prediction.
The same live model underneath — each role sees only the part of it they actually act on.
What's blocking my line. The job I'm running. Scan material, log scrap.
Wear counters, ranked queue. Parts staged with each job.
Ladder logic live. Root-cause traces. PID and sequence diagnostics.
Live OEE by line and shift. Downtime ranked by production impact.
Cross-line rollup. ERP-integrated. Traceability from raw material to shipment.
Four topologies, all read-only. The ring buffer always sits next to the poll loop; only frozen snapshots ever tier outward.
Edge box holds everything. Nothing leaves the plant. 72 hours of snapshot history on-box.
Your VLAN, your DNS, your identity. Edge feeds a plant server in the OT DMZ.
OT stays on-prem. Frozen event snapshots tier to your cloud for reporting and multi-site.
Edge to AWS. Fastest setup. Fine for greenfield or single-site rollouts.
The fastest way to evaluate this is not another meeting. Give us a program export from one line and let us come back with your machine answering questions about itself.
You don't buy a platform to find out if it works. Stand it up on a single controller, watch it explain a real fault you already understand, and decide from there.
Choose a machine that costs you diagnosis time. Pick a fault you already know the answer to.
Edge appliance beside the line. No new controllers. No PLC changes. Program export walks the logic.
You ask "why won't Line 5 start?" The machine points at the permissive holding the line, with evidence.
Expand to more machines, tune the questions, or walk away. No rip-and-replace either way.
AlarmIQ now lives in every PulseMQ Machine Dashboard. One login, one screen, and a fresh batch of new tools alongside.
The OEE formula broken down step by step with a real plastics extrusion example and common mistakes.
Side-by-side comparison of bandwidth, latency, cloud readiness, and real-world use cases.
Start with one machine. Scale plant-wide. Same software at every step — no rip-and-replace.
