Small tools for the gap between two products that were never meant to talk.
Protocol bridges, data extraction from a historian, internal web apps, dashboards, REST APIs. We write it so your team can read it, and you get the source. CertPilot and the OT Asset Simulator are the plainest evidence that we ship software; these are the smaller pieces built to fit one site.
Why it matters
The tool you actually need is often the one no vendor sells: the bridge between two products, the extract from a historian in the shape your report wants, the small app that replaces a spreadsheet everyone is afraid of. Built carefully and handed over with its source, it is an asset. Built as a black box, it is the next thing that breaks and cannot be fixed.
What it covers
- Bridges and extraction
- Protocol bridges between products that do not speak the same language, and data extraction from historians and databases into the shape you need.
- Apps and dashboards
- Internal web apps, dashboards and REST APIs, sized to one job and built to be maintained.
- Handed over readable
- Readable code, tests, deployment notes, and the source, so you are not locked to us to change it later.
How it runs
Scope the one job
What the tool must do, and, as importantly, what it should not grow into. Small and sharp beats large and vague.
Build to be read
Written so your team can follow it, with tests and deployment notes rather than a binary and a shrug.
Hand over the source
You get the code. If we are the wrong people to maintain it next year, you are not stuck with us to do it.
What you are left holding
- The tool, deployed.
- Readable source, handed over.
- Tests and deployment notes.
Questions we are asked first
Do we own the code, or are we locked to you?
You get the source. It is written to be read and comes with tests and deployment notes, so another team can pick it up if you ever need them to.
How do we know you can actually build software?
CertPilot is live at certpilot.ca and the OT Asset Simulator is a working preview. They are the evidence; the custom work is the same discipline at a smaller scale.

An email is enough to start with. A scoping call is free and there is nothing to commit to, and where we are not the right people we will say so and point you at someone who is.
A first call about one site. No charge, and nothing to commit to.
Our named next step: we come to one site and hand you an assessment you can act on.
