The SHARC IoT sensor adapter

Get any sensor on your network.

Any sensor. Any network. The SHARC powers an industrial sensor, captures its reading in real time, and publishes telemetry over MQTT — so you can measure what matters without a five-figure OEM quote.

Why SHARC

Built for the floor, simple for everyone.

Universal compatibility

Supports a wide range of sensors, machine types, and platforms — connect multiple assets with ease.

Real-time monitoring

Instant insight into your operation, so you can make informed decisions quickly.

User-friendly

An intuitive design makes it easy to monitor and manage devices — no deep technical expertise required.

Scalable

Start with one measurement and grow; add new devices as your operation expands.

Predictive maintenance

Spot issues before they become failures — reduce downtime and costly breakdowns.

Secure by design

A one-way data diode introduces no new attack surface — safe even for classified environments.

Choose what to measure

Pick a sensor. Capture the real world.

Select a digital or analog industrial sensor from any manufacturer — the possibilities are endless.

Inductive proximity sensor — **Production throughput**Sense an object's presence for part count and throughput.

Laser distance sensor — **Dimensional profile**Measure distance to gauge dimensional quality.

Pressure transducer — **Air / hydraulic pressure**Detect leaks and pressure conditions in liquid or gas.

Current transformer — **Power consumption**Measure current for energy use, run hours, or machine state.

Rotary encoder — **Rotational speed**Track speed of a conveyor or rotating component.

Vibration sensor — **Premature failure**Measure vibration to catch mechanical wear early.

Temperature sensor — **Process temperature**Hold optimal process specs with temperature data.

Oil particle sensor — **Oil particle monitor**Track particle count/size to schedule maintenance.

Label detection sensor — **Label detection**Sense labels to measure printing throughput.

Flow sensor — **Flow obstruction**Measure liquid flow for rate and blockages.

Fluid level sensor — **Fluid level**Watch coolant or fluid level to prevent tool breakage.

PLC output tap — **Existing PLC output**Tap your existing control-logic signal with ease.

This is just a sample. Tell us what you want to measure and we'll build a kit that works for you.

Open by design

Ingest into any platform.

We don't lock you into any software. The SHARC speaks modern, open standards — JSON over MQTT — so it drops straight into the tools you already use: Kepware, Ignition, Splunk, InfluxDB, Grafana, IoTDB, Node-RED, and more.

Security

Production behind closed doors.

In classified and high-security environments, the SHARC removes cyber risk. You choose precisely what to measure and nothing more. As a one-way data diode, it makes maintenance data-driven without ever introducing a new attack surface — simple, accessible, exactly where IT and OT intersect.
