Industrial IoT Developers

You're building the autonomous factories and smart infrastructure of tomorrow. Why are you still stuck with data systems from yesterday?

You're here to enable predictive maintenance, real-time optimization, and intelligent operations across industrial environments. But your brilliant IoT systems break the moment connectivity gets spotty. Your real-time decision-making waits for cloud roundtrips. Your safety-critical systems depend on fragile custom sync protocols that fail when you need them most.

Industrial operations happen at the edge. Your data infrastructure should too.

Source gives you a verifiable database that runs directly on industrial hardware — from PLCs to edge gateways to industrial computers. With DefraDB, your IIoT systems get real-time local processing, peer-to-peer coordination, and cryptographic verification built for the harsh realities of industrial environments.

The Consumer-Grade Thinking That's Sabotaging Industrial Innovation

You came here to build autonomous industrial systems, not to make smart thermostat platforms work on factory floors:

Get Started

The entire IoT industry sells consumer solutions to industrial problems — platforms designed for home automation being forced into safety-critical manufacturing environments

Your intelligent systems work great in demos — but crumble under the electromagnetic interference, temperature extremes, and network chaos of real industrial environments

Safety-critical decisions wait for cloud roundtrips while 50-ton machines continue operating with stale data from three seconds ago

Every industrial protocol is a custom nightmare — Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT, CAN bus all need bespoke adapters that break in different, unpredictable ways

Data integrity is security theater — proving sensor readings haven't been tampered with requires building verification systems that nobody actually trusts

AI-readiness is a cruel joke — feeding AI/ML systems requires structured, trusted data without overwhelming networks or budgets, which current systems make impossible

Bandwidth costs are hemorrhaging budgets — sending raw sensor data to the cloud burns through operational expenses and violates data sovereignty requirements

The industrial sector deserves better than IoT platforms designed for consumer gadgets. Every day you accept these limitations, your competitors who don't will eat your lunch.

Build industrial systems that work like industrial equipment

DefraDB runs natively on industrial hardware.

No more adapting consumer IoT platforms for industrial use. No more explaining why your "smart factory" can't make decisions without asking the internet. No more accepting that industrial systems have to be dumber than smartphones.

What becomes possible when you stop compromising on infrastructure designed for the wrong problem:

Get Started

Sub-second decision-making

Process sensor data and trigger responses locally without waiting for network calls to data centers thousands of miles away

Protocol-native integration

Connect directly to Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT, and CAN bus systems without translation layers that introduce failure points

Autonomous coordination

Industrial devices sync data peer-to-peer using conflict-free data structures that actually handle the network partitions and interference common in industrial environments

Cryptographically bulletproof operations

Every sensor reading, command, and event is signed and tamper-evident — making compliance audits trivial instead of terrifying

AI-ready data streams

Deliver structured, trusted data to ML systems without overwhelming networks or breaking operational budgets

True edge-to-cloud optimization

Transform and aggregate data locally before sending only what's strategically valuable to central systems

What You Actually Get

Months of industrial integration hell eliminated

Read the Docs

Stop building custom protocol adapters and sync systems that break differently for every industrial device

Deploy one database architecture from edge sensors to cloud dashboards without losing industrial-grade reliability

Handle safety compliance and audit requirements with built-in cryptographic verification instead of custom logging nightmares

Cut bandwidth costs by 90% by processing data locally before selective cloud transmission

Enable AI and intelligent operations directly in operational workflows without compromising real-time performance

Infrastructure that actually understands industrial reality

Get Started

Industrial-hardened deployment

Runs reliably on everything from low-power gateways to ruggedized edge servers in hostile environments

Protocol interoperability

Native integration with industrial communication standards, not consumer IoT adaptations

Conflict-free operation

Automatic data reconciliation across distributed industrial networks that actually handles real-world network chaos

Safety-grade verification

Tamper-evident logs that satisfy the most stringent industrial safety standards and compliance audits

Bandwidth optimization

Intelligent data shaping that reduces transmission costs while maintaining operational intelligence

AI-ready architecture

Trusted data streams for advanced analytics and predictive maintenance that actually work in production
