Operations data on the floor, in real time

A plant runs on numbers — takt time, OEE, scrap rate, units to target — but those numbers too often live in an MES dashboard nobody on the floor can see. Printed metrics from yesterday's shift don't change behavior. A real-time production wallboard over the line does.

TelemetryOS turns floor screens into live operational displays. Applications subscribe to your data over MQTT, serial, and sensor I/O, so an andon board flips state the moment a line stops, a safety display counts hours since the last recordable, and a target board updates with every unit scanned. A sensor crossing a threshold can trigger an alert overlay on every screen in the zone — no operator intervention required.

Plants are also hard environments for connected devices, which is why local playback matters. TelemetryOS devices cache applications and content on the device, so a network drop in the middle of a shift never blanks a board. When the connection returns, everything syncs automatically — and your team sees fleet health for every screen, in every facility, from one console.

AI inspection that never leaves the building

Visual inspection is where edge AI earns its place on the line. With TelemetryOS Edge AI, cameras run defect-detection models directly on the device — analyzing parts at line speed with millisecond latency, flagging anomalies to the adjacent screen, and logging results locally. There's no cloud round-trip to add lag, and no footage of your process or your people leaving the site.

That inference runs on Node Max, the edge-AI tier of the Node hardware family, which executes computer vision and on-device language models as a self-contained appliance at the line. The same unit that scores parts can drive the inspection display beside it, correlate defect spikes with sensor data arriving over MQTT, and surface the trend on the supervisor's wallboard — all on one platform.

Privacy by design is what makes this deployable in regulated and IP-sensitive environments. Nothing identifiable is captured or transmitted, models run where the cameras are, and TelemetryOS is GDPR compliant and SOC 2 Type I certified. You can start with one inspection cell on Node Max while Node Mini and Node Pro handle the wallboards, and scale from there — it's all one fleet.

One platform from the line to the break room

The screens that show line metrics can also carry plant communications — shift schedules, safety campaigns, recognition, and policy updates — scheduled by daypart, zone, or facility from the same console. One platform replaces the patchwork of consumer TVs, USB sticks, and single-purpose andon controllers that plants accumulate over time.

For integrators and plant IT, everything is built once with the React SDK and rolled out through a git-to-screen pipeline: push a change, and every facility updates within seconds, with remote diagnostics and proof-of-play to verify it. See pricing for how device licensing scales across plants.
