Where Smithtek fits

The plant-floor hardware layer of your IIoT stack

Smithtek provides the plant-floor hardware layer — industrial PLC controllers, sensors, and cellular/radio telemetry gateways at the Edge, feeding raw signals upstream into the Sparkplug MQTT bus via Cirrus Link, and on into the Canary historian. It is the sensing-and-actuation foundation that everything else in the stack reads from.

Why Smithtek

Built for the field, not the lab
