Our Technology

Precision Monitoring.
Zero Guesswork.

ProAlert's architecture connects to your existing equipment signals and transforms raw machine data into structured, real-time intelligence... without replacing a single piece of hardware.

System Architecture

Three Layers. One Seamless Picture.

ProAlert's technology stack is purpose-built for the demands of manufacturing environments... reliability, low latency, and the ability to operate even when cloud connectivity is interrupted.

Edge Capture Layer

Lightweight edge devices connect directly to PLC outputs, discrete I/O, and sensor signals. No changes to existing machine logic required.

Processing & Rules Engine

Events are classified, validated, and enriched in real time. Business rules... shift schedules, escalation paths, OEE targets... are applied instantly.

Cloud Dashboard & API

Processed data is delivered to role-based dashboards and available via REST API for downstream systems... all with sub-second latency.

Operational Intelligence

50+ Data Points Automatically Captured

ProAlert turns raw machine activity into structured production intelligence without relying on handwritten notes or end-of-shift memory. Every event becomes usable data for supervisors, CI leaders, and plant managers.

Shift Timing

Track shift start and stop timing, transitions, and event timing with the context needed to understand what really happened on the floor.

Cycle Durations

Capture cycle time, deviations from standard, and duration trends automatically at the work-center level.

Scrap Type & Location

Record what was scrapped, where it occurred, and which product, station, or process step was affected.

Downtime Causes

See the difference between maintenance, material, changeover, quality, and other downtime causes without manual reclassification later.

Team Response Times

Measure how quickly support teams respond, how long calls stay open, and where escalation paths are helping or hurting throughput.

Call Log Notes

Attach operator notes, cause details, and resolution notes to each call so the data tells the full story, not just the timestamp.

Equipment Connectivity

Works With What You Already Have

ProAlert's edge devices support the most common industrial signal types found in North American manufacturing facilities. Connect with existing hardware... no rip-and-replace required. That includes Rockwell, Omron, Siemens, and other widely deployed PLC platforms already running on your floor.

  • Discrete I/O (24VDC / dry contact)
  • PLC communication (Rockwell/Allen-Bradley, Omron, Siemens, Fanuc, Mitsubishi)
  • OPC-UA and OPC-DA protocol support
  • Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP/RTU
  • Andon pull-cord and stack-light inputs
Business System Integration

Structured Data That Fits the Rest of Your Stack

ERP & Job System Connectivity

Keep the generic integration flexibility you expect while connecting ProAlert data to systems your team already knows, including SAP, Plex, and Epicor.

Flexible Export Formats

Move production data into the reporting workflow that works for you with export options including Excel, CSV, and JSON.

Open API

REST API with full documentation. Connect ProAlert data to your ERP, BI tools, or any custom downstream system.

Reliability & Uptime

Built to Match the Demands of a Running Plant

Local Buffering

Edge devices buffer events locally during network interruptions and sync automatically when connectivity is restored... no data is ever lost.

Secure by Design

TLS-encrypted data transmission, role-based access controls, and audit logging at every layer of the stack.

High Availability

Redundant cloud infrastructure with automated failover. Monitored around the clock with proactive incident response.

OTA Updates

Edge device firmware and platform software updated over-the-air... no plant floor downtime for maintenance.

Horizontal Scalability

Add machines, lines, or entire plants without architectural changes. The platform scales to thousands of concurrent data points.

Open API

REST API with full documentation. Connect ProAlert data to your ERP, BI tools, or any custom downstream system when real-time event data needs to move beyond the shop floor.

Edge Hardware

Introducing EdgeSense... ProAlert's Purpose-Built Edge Device

EdgeSense is the hardware layer that makes ProAlert possible on any plant floor. Designed specifically for manufacturing environments, EdgeSense connects directly to your existing machine signals and delivers data to the ProAlert cloud platform in real time... without modifying a single line of PLC code.

  • Industrial-grade hardware rated for plant-floor environments
  • Supports discrete I/O, PLC comms, and OPC-UA out of the box
  • Local event buffering... no data lost during network interruptions
  • OTA firmware updates... zero maintenance downtime
  • DIN-rail mountable, compact form factor
