BUILD

Manufacturing App Builder

PRODUCTION READY APPS
FROM A SINGLE PROMPT.

Build the data models, apps, and workflows your plant runs on, using live MachineMetrics data and the AI coding tools your team already uses. Deployed in hours. No custom code, no technical debt, no bending the operation to fit the software.

DIY MES IS A TRAP.

You make products, not software. Engineering hours spent on infrastructure are hours not spent on what you sell. By the time you go live, you own a system designed years ago that your team now maintains forever.

ONE SIZE FITS NOBODY.

Legacy MES customization means a services engagement, a long timeline, and brittle code that's hard to evolve. So teams either settle for workarounds that never fully digitize the work, or they wait on a development cycle.

LOW-CODE IS STILL CODE.

App platforms promised anyone could build anything, then found customers weren't building, because it still took fluency in C# and JavaScript. AI coding tools changed who can start, not what ships.

01 — CARBIDE

THE APP IS THE EASY PART.

AI made building software cheap. Anyone on your team can describe a shop floor app and watch something appear. What they can't know is that machine 12 is mid-cycle on a job already running over standard because the tool they built it in has no idea your factory exists. Carbide starts where the others stop.

Carbide (Application Builder)

Build on live production state, not an empty database.

Carbide delivers unprecedented speed of development and deployment thanks to four key pieces: an MCP server that connects AI agents directly to the platform, a library of manufacturing UI components, a custom data layer, and an agent plugin, starting with Claude Code. Point your agent at the MCP server, describe the workflow, and what comes back is a working application inside MaximaOS, on the same screens your operators already use. Your team can build it, or ours can.

DESCRIBE WHAT YOU NEED

Point your agent at the MCP server and describe the outcome you want. Claude Code first, with more agents to follow.

MODEL YOUR PLANT

Most software makes you describe your operation in its fields and its idea of an inspection. Here you model your fixtures, part families, and inspection steps using the names your people already use.

A WORKING APP, IN HOURS

Manufacturing UI components assembled on live machine, job, and ERP data, running inside MaximaOS on the screens your operators already use.

03 — ERP SDK

BUILD THE CONNECTOR. OWN THE CONNECTOR.

Most manufacturers want their ERP connected and don't care how. Some care a great deal — because the ERP is heavily customized, or it's a platform nobody supports, or corporate policy says an integration to the system of record is built by their people and nobody else's. The SDK is for them.

No middleware. No engineering queue.

The same standardized framework MachineMetrics uses to build its own bidirectional connectors is available to your team — a defined pattern for pulling work orders, routings, standard times, and reason codes in, and writing execution back. No middleware layer to license and maintain, and no waiting on a vendor's engineering backlog for a system only your team understands.

FOR THE NON-STANDARD CASE

A homegrown system, a heavily modified instance, or an ERP so old that everyone else quoted you a research project. If your team knows it, your team can connect it.

A PATTERN, NOT A BLANK PAGE

The SDK is the same framework behind the production connectors, so you inherit a proven structure for the hard parts — writeback, confirmation, and keeping two systems in agreement.

map-pinned

NOBODY’S CRITICAL PATH BUT YOURS

An integration that waits in someone else's queue is a deployment aging toward a renewal. Owning the connector means owning the timeline.

04 — APIs & MCP

YOUR DATA. YOUR TOOLS. YOUR AGENTS.

A platform that holds your production data hostage isn't a foundation, it's another silo. Everything MaximaOS collects is reachable — by the BI tool your finance team already lives in, by the systems you've had for a decade, and by the AI agents your team is starting to build.

Two doors: one for systems, one for agents.

Query exactly the production data you want through GraphQL, or use REST endpoints your team already knows, and feed a warehouse, a BI tool, or an internal application on your own schedule. Point an agent or an AI coding tool at the remote MCP and it reaches the same data through a secure token. Same data model underneath both.

See the developer documentation

database

QUERY IT WITH GRAPHQL OR REST

Ask for exactly the data you want, or use the endpoints you already know. Feed a warehouse, a BI tool, or an application nobody here has heard of.

cloud-backup

POINT AN AGENT AT OUR MCP

Agents and AI coding tools connect through a token-secured remote endpoint. No server to stand up, no infrastructure to own, no credentials sitting in a script.

arrow-down-up-1

PUBLISH TO YOUR OWN BROKER

Stream machine data over MQTT into your unified namespace, and trigger work in the systems you already run. The platform participates in your stack rather than owning it.

"Most of the software this industry runs on won't survive the next few years of AI. Neither will the manufacturers who treat it as a pilot project." THIS IS NOT A DRILL.
