Technopark, Stellenbosch · since 2016
Enterprise-grade IT for manufacturers who don't have an enterprise IT department.
IT governance, support, Microsoft 365 and plant-floor software (DBS Invenio and DynamicPlantMesh) for small and medium manufacturers, built on more than 20 years in manufacturing operations.
Who we help
Built for the plant that has a production target, not an IT department
We work with owner-managed and mid-sized manufacturers in the Western Cape and across South Africa.
Manufacturing SMEs without a dedicated IT function
You need reliable desktops, servers, email and backups, and someone accountable for them, without hiring a department.
Owner-managed businesses with governance obligations
POPIA, the Companies Act and your customers' audits all ask the same question: is your technology under control? We help you answer yes.
Plants that need their process data captured and acted on
Furnaces, lines and utilities produce thousands of signals a second. We log them, track states and turn them into decisions.
Products
Three tools built from 20+ years on the plant floor
DBS Invenio
Agents that build working applications from a description, with the loop, memory, validation and human approval that make their work dependable, and the metering, permissions and delivery that put the result in front of the people who need it.

Turns OPC-UA, OPC DA and MQTT plant signals into live dashboards, trends, KPIs and event timelines, on a historian that ships with the platform. KPI and alarm maths are expressions your engineers edit in the app.

How we work
Assess, plan, build, support
The same four steps whether the job is a Microsoft 365 migration or plant-wide analytics.
Assess
We inventory what you have, what it costs and where it puts the business at risk. You get a written picture, not a sales pitch.
Plan
A prioritised roadmap with costs and timelines that the owners and the plant manager can both sign off.
Build or implement
Configuration first, code second. We adapt systems to your process rather than the other way around.
Support
Helpdesk, monitoring and a monthly report. Escalation paths for the days when the plant cannot wait.
