Industrial integration challenges

Real-world automation examples
Our development team has delivered numerous automation solutions across diverse environments:
Cloud automation (AWS)
- Custom Python scripts using boto3 for automated AWS infrastructure management, provisioning, and operational tasks
- Automated AWS KMS key rotation across multiple services (EC2, S3, CloudTrail, RDS, CloudWatch, DynamoDB) ensuring continuous security compliance without manual intervention
Credential management & security automation
- Integration with Bitwarden password manager via API to retrieve credentials and automatically rotate passwords across infrastructure components including Dell iDRAC, VMware vSphere, vSAN, and DataCore storage systems
- Automated password lifecycle management reducing security risks and administrative overhead
Data integration & warehousing
- Custom scripts extracting data from multiple databases and APIs, transforming and loading into IBM Data Warehouse for consolidated business intelligence and reporting
Security platform integration
- Custom development integrating Zscaler secure web gateway with Darktrace AI-powered threat detection, enabling automated response workflows based on behavioral analysis
Web scraping for workflow automation
- Intelligent web scraping solutions to extract data from supplier systems lacking APIs, enabling automated workflows across multiple vendors and eliminating manual data entry
Industrial IoT & MES integration
- Development of industrial gateways capturing logs from manufacturing machines using proprietary protocols, normalizing data formats, and injecting into Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES)
- Bridging legacy industrial equipment with modern data platforms
Machine learning & artificial intelligence
Industrial data collection & normalization

Raspberry Pi-based data collectors
Custom firmware transforming Raspberry Pi W 2 devices into "USB gadget" data collectors that automatically capture production logs from legacy machines only capable of exporting to USB keys (FAT32 format). These devices:
- Connect directly to industrial machines and test benches
- Normalize heterogeneous log formats from different equipment manufacturers
- Extract production data (timestamps, item counts, quality control measurements)
- Inject structured data into relational databases for analysis
AI-powered production analytics
- Argentics AI platform: Multi-agent AI system continuously processing production data throughout the day, building real-time statistics and insights about manufacturing operations. The platform identifies patterns, anomalies, and optimization opportunities that would be invisible in manual analysis.
Computer vision & edge AI
OFEP has developed advanced computer vision projects leveraging distributed edge computing:
- Architecture: Multiple minicomputers (Raspberry Pi 5 with Pi Camera modules) deployed across facilities, each running local machine learning models for image analysis and interpretation.
- Offline & local processing: Unlike cloud-dependent solutions, our edge AI systems operate entirely offline and locally (disconnected from networks), processing images directly on-device and taking immediate actions including:
- Object counting and tracking
- Anomaly detection and alerting
- Voice-based interactions and notifications
- Real-time decision making
Custom model development
We don't rely solely on pre-trained models. OFEP builds custom machine learning models trained specifically for your use case, detecting behaviors, objects, or conditions unique to your operational environment.
Advantages of offline AI
Easy deployment
No internet or WiFi integration required, eliminating authentication complexities, network security concerns, and connectivity dependencies. Deploy anywhere, even in challenging RF environments.
Sovereignty & privacy
All data processing occurs locally. No information transmitted to third parties or cloud services. Complete control over sensitive operational data and compliance with strict data protection requirements.
Reliability
No dependency on internet connectivity, cloud service availability, or external API uptime. Systems continue operating during network outages.
Low latency
Immediate processing and response without network round-trip delays, critical for real-time applications and safety systems.
Low cost
No ongoing subscription fees, expensive cloud computing charges, or massive GPU infrastructure. Once deployed, systems operate independently with minimal operational costs.
