From historian chaos to clear answers

Ask your plant how it ran last night.

MechFrame plugs into your OPC UA data, batches it to Parquet, and gives process engineers an LLM-native workspace. Instead of fighting spreadsheets and slow historians, you just ask: “Why did steam spike on Machine 3 at 2 AM?”

No salespeople. You’ll talk directly with the builder, walk through your tags, and see what MechFrame could do at your mill.

The problem it solves

Process data is locked in historians, Excel exports, and tribal knowledge. Every deep question becomes a half-day project: pulling data, cleaning it, plotting it, and trying not to crash Excel in the process. MechFrame removes the friction between “I wonder...” and the answer.

Edge OPC UA collector

Lightweight Linux agent that subscribes to your OPC UA server, batches to Parquet, and ships data securely to your MechFrame cloud workspace.

Parquet-first, not silo-first

Data is stored columnar in open formats, optimized for analytics and LLMs instead of trapped in one vendor’s historian UI.

LLM-native interface

Ask questions in plain language: “Show rush-draw vs. breaks last month” or “Which loops ran in manual for more than 4 hours yesterday?”

Built by someone who’s run a mill

MechFrame is being built by a process engineer who has lived inside PARCview, PI, and broken Excel files. This isn’t a generic BI toy — it’s designed for mills.

Where it’s heading

The long-term vision is a full MechFrame workspace: secure edge collectors, a cloud data lake, and an LLM “copilot” tuned for process engineering. Think: notebooks, dashboards, alerts, and conversational root-cause investigations — all on top of your real plant data.
