Industrial IoT software development turns the signals your plant already generates into live OEE, downtime, and condition data. RaftLabs connects your existing PLCs, SCADA systems, and sensors, then works with your engineering team to understand your equipment, protocols, and network topology. We design the integration layer to fit your environment: edge computing where bandwidth or latency makes cloud-first impractical, direct connectivity where the infrastructure allows it.
The payoff is not just visibility. The same condition data feeds predictive maintenance, which reduces equipment breakdowns by up to 70% and maintenance costs by roughly 25% (Deloitte). Capturing it cleanly from day one is what turns a monitoring dashboard into a system that prevents failures instead of just reporting them.
Capabilities
What we build
01PLC and SCADA connectivity
Data normalisation across heterogeneous machine protocols into a single model, with edge computing nodes where bandwidth or latency requires local processing.
- Built with
- OPC-UA · MQTT · Modbus
02Real-time OEE dashboards
Availability, performance, and quality calculated continuously per machine, line, and shift, accessible on any device with configurable targets per asset.
03Downtime tracking and alerting
Automatic downtime detection from machine signals with operator reason-code capture, and MTBF/MTTR reporting per machine and failure mode.
04Predictive maintenance integration
Trend monitoring on vibration, temperature, and cycle-time drift feeding automated CMMS work order creation.
- Built with
- SAP PM · Maximo
05Energy and utilities monitoring
Consumption tracked per machine and production area with anomaly detection for equipment drawing above-normal power.
06Multi-site monitoring and reporting
Consolidated OEE, downtime, and energy reporting across plants with normalised data regardless of PLC vendor or protocol mix.
How we work
From scope to live monitoring platform
- Week 1
01Equipment and protocol scoping
We map your equipment types, existing protocols, and the visibility gaps you're missing. You leave week 1 with a written scope document and a fixed-price quote.
- Weeks 2-5
02Connectivity and data model design
Protocol mapping, edge computing needs, and OEE calculation logic designed against your actual plant.
- Weeks 6-14
03Build and integrate
Connectivity, dashboards, and downtime tracking built in parallel, validated against real machine data.
- Final 2-3 weeks
04Launch and team rollout
Plant managers and maintenance teams trained on the dashboards before full rollout.
Why us
Why manufacturers choose RaftLabs
01Senior engineers build what they scope
The engineers who assess your equipment also build the solution. No bait-and-switch, no offshore handoff after the contract is signed.
02Fixed price before development starts
We scope the work, calculate the cost, and lock it in writing before any development starts.
03Shipping production software since 2015
Clients include Vodafone, T-Mobile, Aldi, Nike, Cisco, and Lockheed Martin. We build data-heavy platforms where reliability and clean integration matter.
04No integration surprises during build
Connectivity approach for every machine type is documented during discovery, not discovered mid-project.
05Built as the foundation for predictive maintenance
The condition data captured is designed to feed failure-prediction models from day one.
