Software Development for Manufacturing

Connected factory-floor software — MES platforms, IoT telemetry, and predictive maintenance — that turns operational data into fewer defects and less downtime.

Overview

Modern manufacturing runs on data that most factory floors still can't fully capture. Machines that have run reliably for twenty years were never built to report telemetry, and the resulting blind spots show up as unplanned downtime, quality escapes, and plant managers making decisions on yesterday's numbers. TechNova builds the software layer that closes that gap, connecting legacy equipment and modern analytics without requiring a rip-and-replace of the equipment itself.

We specialize in the unglamorous but critical work of protocol translation — pulling data out of PLCs, SCADA systems, and proprietary equipment interfaces using OPC-UA and Modbus gateways, then streaming it into pipelines that can actually power dashboards, alerts, and predictive models. From there, we build the manufacturing execution systems and predictive maintenance tools that turn that data into fewer defects, less downtime, and faster audit responses.

Manufacturers don't need another generic analytics dashboard; they need software that understands the realities of a production line — shift schedules, batch traceability, equipment idiosyncrasies, and the cost of an hour of downtime. That's the domain expertise we bring to every plant floor engagement, whether you're running a single facility or coordinating visibility across a global manufacturing network.

Challenges

What makes this industry different

Connecting legacy PLCs and factory-floor equipment that were never designed for modern data pipelines
Achieving real-time visibility into production line performance across multiple plants
Reducing unplanned downtime caused by equipment failures detected too late
Maintaining data integrity and traceability for quality and regulatory audits
Scaling IIoT telemetry ingestion from thousands of sensors without overwhelming existing infrastructure
Integrating shop-floor systems with ERP and supply chain platforms for end-to-end visibility
Our Approach

How we solve for it

Manufacturing execution systems

Custom MES platforms that give plant managers real-time visibility into throughput, quality, and downtime across every production line.

Legacy equipment integration

Protocol gateways and edge adapters that bring OPC-UA, Modbus, and proprietary PLC data into modern, queryable pipelines.

Predictive maintenance

Sensor-driven machine learning models that flag equipment degradation before it causes an unplanned line stoppage.

IIoT telemetry infrastructure

High-throughput ingestion pipelines built to handle streaming data from thousands of factory-floor sensors without data loss.

Quality and compliance traceability

End-to-end batch and component traceability systems that make audit responses fast instead of a multi-week scramble.

ERP and supply chain integration

Middleware that connects shop-floor systems to ERP and supply chain platforms, closing the loop between production and planning.
