The OctosX Platform: from sensor reading to morning briefing.
The OctosX Platform turns sensor readings into alerts and a daily picture of what needs a person. All four Factory Safety areas are designed to share one alert path and one record, with views configured per site. The platform is designed to store and process data in Canada (AWS ca-central-1).

The morning briefing: what needs a person today.
This is the picture your team starts the shift with, shown here for Thermal Risk. Select a flagged item, or any sensing point on the site map, to see its trend, its thresholds and the next review action. Air & Environment, Equipment Health and Visual Alerts are designed to join the same briefing; their views are configured per site.
Thresholds are set per asset during commissioningAsk about this site in plain language: AI assistant preview ↓
Browse all twelve platform screensDashboards, analysis and system views, from overview to sign-in.
These screens show Thermal Risk. Screens are configured per deployment during commissioning; screens that depend on the electrical layer or the AI assistant are development previews.
Every joint, every hour
Thousands of readings. Only the ones that matter reach you.
Architecture · sensor to decision
From sensor to decision: edge, transport, Canadian cloud.
Each stage is designed around the limits of operational-technology networks. Follow a reading through the six stages, or select one to see where it sits. The stages are shown for Thermal Risk; Air & Environment, Equipment Health and Visual Alerts are designed to follow the same path, and their sensors and connections are scoped per project.
Three-dimensional diagram of the OctosX pipeline. On site, Thermalpas sensors sit on the switchgear busbars, PLC temperature modules read each point, and an industrial PC runs the alert logic. An outbound-only encrypted link carries readings to the Canadian cloud, where analytics classify them, and the result reaches your team as dashboards, alerts and time-stamped reports. Use the stage buttons to move through it.
- Thermalpas sensors bond to busbars, lugs and pipework without drilling; its reading stays close to the true surface temperature and tracks temperature changes inside the conductor.
- PLC temperature modules accept RTD signals directly and filter them at the source; local alarm relays can act before anything reaches the network.
- The industrial PC runs alert logic on site and buffers readings through network outages of up to 72 hours.
- Telemetry leaves the site outbound-only, over MQTT with TLS 1.3 and LAN / cellular failover, so no inbound firewall ports are opened.
- In the Canadian cloud, per-asset baselines, multi-tier thresholds and rate-of-rise rules classify every reading, so each alert can show its rationale.
- Dashboards, escalating alerts (email, SMS, webhook), an open API and time-stamped reports with a full audit trail.

Thermalpas sensor layer
Bonds to the outside of busbars, lugs and pipes without drilling or welding. Readings sit close to the true surface temperature and track temperature changes inside the conductor. How the sensor works →
-
Alert logic at the edge
The industrial PC runs alert logic on site, so an alarm is designed to keep firing if the WAN drops, with readings buffered through outages of up to 72 hours.
-
No inbound ports
Outbound-only MQTT over TLS 1.3, so your IT team opens no inbound firewall rules.
-
Full history, kept as time series
Readings are stored as time series with configurable retention, for trend analysis and audits.
Decide on site. Learn across sites.
Thermal scoring and alarm decisions run on the industrial PC inside your plant. The cloud receives condensed features and exceptions, not raw streams, and uses them to calibrate models across sites, so less data leaves the site.

Security & data residency
Designed to keep your data in Canada.
The OctosX Platform is designed to store and process data in Canada (AWS ca-central-1): plant data, readings from every area you monitor, and your audit trail. It is designed so that nothing crosses the border without your explicit written consent.

Development preview
What we are building next.
Four capabilities are in active development. They are shown here so you can see the direction; none of them is part of a deployment today.
Development preview · AI assistant
Ask “Where’s the risk today?” and get the morning’s picture.
We are building an assistant that answers plain-language questions from the same classified data your dashboards show, and cites the readings, thresholds and statuses behind each answer. A voice mode for the plant floor will follow: press, speak and hear where to look.
Simulated conversation.

Where do I need to look first today?
One critical: Panel B-7 main busbar at 88.5 °C, +21.3 °C above its learned baseline, escalated at 09:14. De-energized inspection is on the maintenance queue. One review: MCC Cabinet 3-B holding 73.4 °C against its 70 °C threshold since 08:42. Everything else is inside baseline, apart from a slow drift on TP-19 under automatic watch, and two stale points on the packaging line in the coverage summary.
Development preview · electrical layer
Four signals, one explainable risk score.
Thermal readings show where the heat is. We are building an electrical layer that will add the why: three-phase current, phase imbalance, harmonic distortion and load context, combined into one score that shows its reasoning.

Development preview · interactive. In production, thresholds will be set per asset and a person will review every escalation.
Development preview · audit ledger
An audit history designed to show any edit.
We are building a tamper-evident audit ledger: each alarm, acknowledgement, threshold change and report will be hash-chained to the one before it and periodically anchored, so a later edit is detectable by you, your auditor or a loss-control engineer.
Simulated hashes. Decision support for audit review, not a compliance certification.
Verify the chain, then tamper with a record

Development preview · mobile app
The alert finds the right person, on their own phone.
We are building a first-party OctosX app for iOS and Android. A critical review will reach the on-call engineer as a push notification, take two taps to acknowledge, and land in the audit trail. Routing rules will decide who is woken up, and escalate if no one acknowledges.
