Local control plane for OWA units

Qartis is Melqart Systems' gateway-native management framework for turning an OWA unit into a self-contained operational hub. It supports device configuration, sensor and interface onboarding, data-flow validation, diagnostics, and lifecycle management directly on the gateway, even when the site is offline.

Capabilities

What Qartis enables

01

Operate OWA units with confidence

Guided device setup and commissioning, health status, resource monitoring, system diagnostics, centralized log access, troubleshooting workflows, and backup/restore for configuration and device state.

02

Configure connectivity & field interfaces

Network setup (wired / Wi-Fi client or access point, depending on hardware profile), cellular connectivity configuration and diagnostics (SIM/APN, signal status, etc.), interface inventory and device-side validation for attached peripherals.

03

Manage industrial configurations

Structured configuration with validation and safe defaults, change tracking (who changed what, when) and controlled rollout of settings, environment-ready profiles (lab, pilot, production).

04

Data readiness & integration

Verify edge data collection pipelines before go-live, manage outbound connectors (e.g., MQTT/HTTPS) to your chosen platform or backend, and use deployment patterns designed for intermittent connectivity.

05

Enable mobile commissioning & provisioning

Qartis can power mobile apps used by technicians for on-site configuration and provisioning, installation checklists and validation steps, and fast diagnostics during rollout and maintenance. This is especially useful for large fleets where speed, consistency, and reduced training time matter.

Customization

Highly customizable by design

Qartis is designed to adapt to your product and customer requirements.

01

Module-based architecture

Enable only what you need per OWA unit model, customer, or fleet.

02

Brandable UX

Align terminology, structure, and visual identity with your product.

03

Extensible workflows

Add your own commissioning steps, validations, dashboards, and diagnostics.

04

Integration flexibility

Connect to your existing tools and platforms with no lock-in. Qartis is well suited to OEMs that need a consistent product experience while supporting customer-specific requirements.

Industrial

Designed for industrial operations

01

Offline-first by design

Qartis runs locally on the OWA unit, so technicians can commission and troubleshoot on-site without relying on a cloud connection.

02

Security and audit readiness

Designed to support strong access control, traceability, and operational hardening, helping you meet customer expectations for governance and cybersecurity posture.

03

Repeatable across use cases

Whether you deploy telematics, retrofits, or edge data loggers, Qartis provides a consistent control plane that keeps deployments predictable and maintainable.

Architecture

Gateway-native architecture

Qartis runs locally on the OWA unit, providing a self-contained control plane that operates independently of cloud connectivity.
