One platform, built end to end — sensor, edge, cloud and dashboard.

Because we engineer both the hardware and the software, addaNet isn't a bundle of third-party parts hoping to talk to each other. It's a single, coherent stack designed for industrial sites in Africa — and for the equipment, networks and power realities they actually run on.

The architecture

Field device to dashboard — one stack, in-house.

1 · Sense

Field devices

addanode sensors plus your existing instruments, meters and PLCs

2 · Connect

Edge gateway

Reads PLCs, runs logic, buffers locally through load shedding

3 · Platform

addaNet

Ingest, store, model and secure — SA-region cloud or on-premise

4 · Act

Dashboards & alerts

Live views, WhatsApp/email alerts, scheduled reports

5 · Integrate

Business systems

ERP / MES via REST, OPC-UA and SQL

The stack

From the signal on the machine to the number on the screen.

LayerWhat addanode provides
Devices & sensorsIn-house IoT devices plus support for third-party sensors — vibration, flow, level, current, temperature, gas, RFID and more
ConnectivityLoRaWAN, NB-IoT, 4G, Sigfox or wired — selected per site for coverage and cost
EdgeLocal gateways that read PLCs, run control logic and buffer through power and network outages
addaNet platformSecure ingest, storage, modelling and analytics — SA-region cloud or on-premise
Dashboards & alertsLive web dashboards, scheduled reports, and WhatsApp/email alerting
IntegrationREST and OPC-UA APIs, SQL export, and connectors to ERP/MES (SAP, Syspro, Sage)

Protocol-agnostic

Modbus, OPC-UA, MQTT, direct I/O — we read what your equipment speaks.

Resilient by design

Edge buffering and low-power devices keep data flowing through load shedding.

Secure

Encrypted transport, role-based access, audit logging, no exposed PLC ports.
