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:
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:
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
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
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
