Case Studies

Proof on the plant floor.

From aerospace OT networks to FDA traceability, here's how manufacturers put Mr. IIoT to work — and what changed.

Aerospace assembly line

IT/OT Connectivity · Aerospace

Revolutionizing IT/OT connectivity in aerospace

A worldwide aerospace firm needed hundreds of pieces of industrial equipment connected to its OT network. Over a six-month engagement, Mr. IIoT assessed the infrastructure, built custom integration components, and validated the data — lifting data flow and cutting downtime without growing the internal team.

“I had a very positive experience working with Chris… He's got a real passion for his work.” — IIoT Manager
CNC machine digital transformation

Digital Transformation · Fluid Systems

Open-source FANUC integration for a global manufacturer

A global fluid-system manufacturer wanted open, flexible tools to talk directly to its FANUC controls. They found Mr. IIoT on GitHub and integrated the open-source FANUC data collector adapter — gaining seamless interoperability and methodical, expert troubleshooting.

“Once we started working with Mr. IIoT, it felt like we had a hired gun.” — Automation Engineer
Machine monitoring dashboard

Machine Monitoring · Packaging (Ox Box)

Real-time uptime & productivity at Ox Box

Ox Box started with COVID-era safety scanners, then deployed SHARC IoT sensors across its machinery, feeding a custom Grafana dashboard. Real-time and historical data on uptime and productivity now drives continuous improvement — and performance-based incentives on the floor.

“…we can greatly improve our production process.” — Guy Ockerlund, Ox Box President
Digital compliance and traceability

Compliance & Traceability · Baking

FDA traceability for a nationwide bakery

A five-location baking company needed FDA-compliant product traceability. Mr. IIoT designed a custom Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC) system from scratch, integrated it with the ERP and WMS, and added SHARC sensors plus print-and-apply automation in Florida.

“They didn't just deliver a product but worked closely with us to understand our business.” — Director of IT
Middleware connecting systems

Middleware Solutions · Chicago Coding Systems

Custom middleware that ties it all together

Chicago Coding Systems builds custom marking and labeling hardware; Mr. IIoT wrote the software and middleware to run it. A bespoke toolset bridged Zebra printers, scanners, and client networks for real-time scan-print-apply labeling.

“I trust Chris and Mr. IIoT's team implicitly.” — Rob Wienhoff, CCS President
EDI order processing automation

Order Processing · Tempco

Automated EDI order processing for Tempco

Tempco was manually keying ~22 Grainger orders every Tuesday. Mr. IIoT automated the EDI workflows between SPS Commerce and Tempco's ERP — inbound orders and outbound invoices and ASNs now flow seven days a week, with an internal portal to view it all.

“Definitely recommend Mr. IIoT to others that need business system integration services.” — Jeff Griffin, Tempco IT Manager
AI assistant answering technical support questions with cited sources

Customer Support · Tracebook · Royal Master Grinders

Give your engineers their week back

Royal Master Grinders' engineers doubled as tech support. Tracebook — white-labeled AI trained on their manuals, schematics, and past tickets — now answers routine customer questions with cited sources in seconds, so engineers get back to building product.

“Tracebook put our engineers back in engineering instead of customer support.” — John, CEO, Royal Master Grinders
