The IIoT Engine Integrators Deploy
Flowstate Industrial is a horizontal IIoT platform built for system integrators to deploy at any manufacturer, in any vertical, on any equipment type. Standards pre-built. 22 equipment types supported. Deployment in days, not months.
Our mission: encode industrial standards as software infrastructure so that system integrators can deploy world-class monitoring in days instead of months — at any factory, for any equipment.
Why IIoT Deployments Fail
75% of IIoT projects fail. Not because the technology does not work — because integrators are forced to build infrastructure instead of delivering value.
Enterprise tools are closed ecosystems
$100K+ implementations. 6-12 month timelines. Proprietary protocols. Integrators spend months on plumbing instead of deploying solutions their customers actually need.
Point solutions do not scale
Custom scripts per customer, per vertical, per equipment type. Every new deployment starts from scratch. Integrator margins erode on engineering time.
Standards are left as an exercise
ISA-95 hierarchy, Sparkplug B, ISA-18.2 alarm management, SEMI E10 states — these are hard to build right. Most platforms punt on them. We encoded them as architecture.
What Makes Flowstate Different
Flowstate is a horizontal platform — the same architecture works for CNC shops, food plants, metal fabricators, injection molders, and any other manufacturing vertical. Integrators bring vertical expertise. Flowstate is the engine they deploy.
Standards encoded as architecture
ISA-95 hierarchy, Sparkplug B protocol, ISA-18.2 alarm management, SEMI E10 equipment states — all pre-built. Integrators deploy in days what used to take months of custom engineering.
Multi-vertical from day one
22 equipment types, 6 industrial protocols, any manufacturing vertical. One platform, different vertical profiles. No re-architecting per customer.
Data flowing same day, not same year
Cellular-first edge deployment means zero IT involvement. Integrators schedule a weekend install — by Monday morning the manufacturer has a dashboard showing every machine.
Open standards, zero lock-in
All data structured with ISA-95 and Sparkplug B — the same open standards used by the largest manufacturers in the world. Manufacturers own their data. Export anytime in standard formats.
What Flowstate Is NOT
Not a consulting firm. We build software. Integrators provide the vertical expertise and customer relationships.
Horizontal by design. 22 equipment types across 8 manufacturing verticals. The same platform monitors CNC machines, presses, robots, ovens, and packaging lines.
Not an enterprise sales cycle. Pricing on the website. No RFP process. No 6-month pilot. Your integrator can deploy this week.
Not software-only. The hardware kit is included in the subscription. Sensors, edge compute, networking, enclosure — all shipped, configured, and ready to install.
Not a proprietary lock-in. All data is structured using ISA-95 and Sparkplug B — open industrial standards. Export your data anytime. No proprietary formats. No exit penalty after month 6.
Why We Built Flowstate
Massillon, Ohio
We're based in Massillon, Ohio — in the middle of one of the highest concentrations of manufacturers in the country.
Industrial standards — ISA-95, Sparkplug B, ISA-18.2, SEMI E10 — are hard to implement correctly, and most platforms punt on them. That leaves system integrators rebuilding the same infrastructure at every customer. Flowstate exists to encode those standards as architecture so integrators can focus on vertical expertise instead of plumbing.
The model is horizontal platform, vertical beachheads. The engine is the same for every manufacturer. Integrators bring the domain knowledge and customer relationships; Flowstate provides the platform they deploy.
