💡 Key Takeaways & Architecture Summary

  • Lightweight virtual executable bridge relays PLC telemetry to cloud WebSocket hubs in real time.
  • Sub-second SPC statistical math (I-chart, P-chart, Cpk calculations) computed at the edge.
  • NativeWind styled UI provides high visibility for plant floor tablet and mobile screens.

Bringing Industry 4.0 to the Factory Floor

PocketWatch bridges legacy factory floor equipment and modern cloud dashboards. Operators receive automated alerts when Cpk metrics drift past tolerance thresholds.
