Open · Governed · Extensible

The open layer for the plants you already run.

CMS Industrial sits alongside the PLCs, SCADA, historians, and MES already running your lines — connecting to them, not replacing them. Your team gets a governed, familiar interface for day-to-day operations, while an AI-native layer underneath keeps adding capability as your plants change. Governed and tested at every step.

The problem

Your control stack is a closed box. Your plant isn't standing still.

Control and historian platforms are proprietary by design — configured once by the vendor or integrator, locked to their hardware, and slow to extend. When you add a line, a new sensor type, or a new reporting requirement, the stack doesn't flex with you. Every integration becomes a project, and teams paper over the gaps with spreadsheets and one-off scripts no one governs.

  • Proprietary control and historian platforms that resist integration
  • Every new data source or workflow is a slow, custom project
  • No governed, portable record of who changed what and why
  • Gaps papered over with spreadsheets and scripts no one owns
Why it matters

An industry-wide problem, not a one-off.

How CMS Industrial works

Connect, operate, and extend — on one open platform.

1

Connect without replacing

CMS Industrial speaks OPC UA, Modbus, MQTT/Sparkplug, EtherNet/IP, and SCADA and historian APIs out of the box, so it sits alongside your control stack instead of ripping it out.

2

Operate the full lifecycle

Commissioning to retirement: guided intake, equipment tagging, tracking, transfers, reconciliation, and work-order management — every change attributable and auditable.

3

Extend with AI

Powered by Open Industrial: Azi and any MCP-native AI can propose new dashboards, queries, and automations over your governed plant data. You approve before anything goes live.

Governed by construction

The audit trail your operations and quality teams expect.

Not a checklist bolted on after the fact. Every action is attributable and timestamped, every change captures a reason, and the audit trail is immutable and append-only.
