Continuous recording of PLC, camera, and sensor data. When a machine stops, you look at the recording instead of guessing.

Three parts, one recording

octaview Edge Hub

A recorder in the control cabinet. It logs every PLC signal, camera frame, and vibration reading continuously. Older data is archived at lower resolution, so storage does not run out. A rule engine marks incidents in the recording, so your engineers review the minutes that matter, not the whole shift. When a customer reports a failure, you check the recording before you send anyone.

octaview Studio

Opens any .mcap recording and shows PLC, camera, and sensor data on one synchronized timeline. Scrub to the stoppage and step through it frame by frame. The viewer is free, on desktop and web, so a recording can be sent to a colleague or a customer and they can open it.

octaview Edge AI

An industrial PC that runs a language model locally, on your recordings. Ask what changed before Tuesday's reject spike; the answer cites the signals it is based on. Works without an internet connection. Machine data stays in the building.

Why octaview

Built for the control cabinet, not the data centre. It records first and asks questions later.

Records continuously

Every PLC tag, camera frame, and sensor value is written as it happens, at full resolution. Nothing is sampled away before you need it.

Local-first and secure

Data is stored on the device with mTLS and no ports open to the internet. Sync to the cloud is outbound only, and only for the data you choose.

One binary per device

A single static binary installs on a Siemens IOT2050 or a Raspberry Pi 3, 4, or 5. No runtime, no container required, 1 GB of RAM is enough.

Open .mcap format

Recordings are plain .mcap files. Open them in Studio, hand one to a customer, or read them with any tool that speaks the format.

Incidents, not shifts

A rule engine flags the moments that matter — a stoppage, a reject spike, a drift. Your engineers review minutes, not the whole day.

Speaks your PLCs

S7-1200 and S7-1500 over IO-Link and MQTT, SICK SensingCam and MPB10 out of the box. New signals are added by editing one file.

Frequently asked questions

What does octaview record?

Every PLC signal, camera frame, and sensor reading the machine produces. Scalar values are stored in a local SQLite database; camera images are stored as files on the device. The data model is Device → Topics → Timeseries.

Which hardware does it run on?

Edge Hub runs on the Siemens IOT2050 and on the Raspberry Pi 3, 4, 5, and CM4. A Pi 3 with 1 GB of RAM is enough. It reads Siemens S7-1200 and S7-1500 PLCs, SICK SensingCam and MPB10 sensors, and IO-Link devices.

Does data leave the plant?

Only if you decide it should. octaview is local-first: data stays on the device, protected with mTLS, with no listening ports exposed to the internet. Cloud sync is outbound only and covers just the data you select. Edge AI runs its language model on-premise, so recordings are never sent anywhere for analysis.

What format are recordings in?

Open .mcap. You can open a recording in Studio on desktop or web, send it to a colleague or a customer, or read it with any tool that supports the format. There is no proprietary lock-in.

How much does Studio cost?

The Studio viewer is free, on both desktop and web. That way a recording can always be opened by whoever needs to see it, including people outside your company.

How is storage kept from filling up?

Recent data is kept at full resolution. Older data is archived at a lower resolution automatically, so a device keeps months of history without running out of disk. You set the retention window.

How do we add a new signal or PLC?

By editing one configuration file on the device. New MQTT topics and PLC tags are picked up without rebuilding anything. If you run a PLC we do not list yet, tell us which one and we will say whether it fits.

Can we try it on one machine first?

Yes. Most customers start with Edge Hub on a single machine, confirm it records what they expect in Studio, and expand from there. Ask for a demo and tell us which PLCs you run.
