Architecture

How this factory stays connected

0 PREKIT edge nodes link 78 machines and the ERP into one namespace. Production context — orders, recipes, quality checks — survives every handoff from planning to dispatch instead of vanishing every time a bar moves to the next step.

PREKIT Edge Nodes & Hub

Inspect the system topology

Machines, events, and business context meet here in one namespace so the factory remains visible beyond any single dashboard or application.

Grafana

Open the machine dashboard layer

When a work center starts to drift, queue up, or fail, this is where the live traces, states, and anomalies become visible — still connected to the production context that brought you here.

ChocolateCentral 365

Open the ERP order context

Orders, recipes, planning state, and customer commitments originate here before they continue onto the shopfloor as live production.
