Machine retrofits
Old machines, new data.
Connect machines that were never designed to be connected — including ones with undocumented protocols — and bring their data into modern software.
Machine retrofits
- Built with
- RS485, RS232, Modbus, CAN, ESP32-S3
- A first step
- Protocol Decode Sprint — 2–4 weeks
- You own
- Schematics, board files, firmware source and the bill of materials. Yours to have built by anyone.
- Where it runs
- Installed on site. Pakistan, the Gulf and the UK.
- Scoping
- One call, then a written scope. We say no when it is not ours.

01 The terms
We quote the work after one call, in writing, against a scope you can hold us to. No published band, because a number without a scope is a guess — and no retainer that quietly renews.
What you get at the end is the thing itself and everything needed to keep it running without us. That is the deal on every job, whatever it is.

03 Examples
Three things we could build for you here. They show the range; they are not a client list.

Legacy CNC machines reporting job counts
Fuel dispensers read without the vendor's console

For eFuelPro we decoded an undocumented dispenser protocol and built the board that reads it.
