FAQs

What is Meddle and how does it work?

Meddle is an AI-powered Industrial IoT platform that connects factory machines, collects real-time production data, and provides analytics, dashboards, and smart alerts to optimize operations. It connects directly to existing PLCs via software protocols like OPC-UA, Modbus, and MQTT, requiring no additional hardware.

Do I need additional hardware to use Meddle?

No, Meddle connects directly to your PLCs and industrial systems through software protocols. No physical gateways or additional sensors are needed. You only need an Ethernet connection to start collecting data in minutes.

Does Meddle work with old machines?

Yes, Meddle is designed to integrate with heterogeneous equipment of any age. Most PLCs from the last 15–20 years support Modbus, which is sufficient. For older equipment without digital interfaces, a simple serial-to-Ethernet adapter can bridge the gap.
