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.

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 — meaning your existing equipment becomes ProAlert-enabled without capital investment in new machinery.

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

99.9% Platform Uptime

Redundant cloud infrastructure with automated failover. Monitored 24/7 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 SAP, Oracle, Power BI, Tableau, or any custom downstream system.

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
