Machine and equipment integration
CAN bus decoding and signal mapping without firmware changes.
Machine Connectivity: Connect Equipment to Your Platform
Melqart Systems connects machines and equipment to cloud platforms with deep integration, local decision logic, and fleet-wide orchestration.
Context
Connect machines and equipment to modern platform workflows.
OEM and fleet projects depend on reliable, real-time machine and equipment data. This solution decodes the internal bus, applies edge intelligence, and orchestrates fleets through secure connectivity and updates.
Edge intelligence
Filter data and execute local logic to reduce bandwidth and avoid noisy data streams.
Fleet orchestration
Unified dashboards for device health, connectivity, and OTA updates.
Operational reliability
Trigger alerts when thresholds are exceeded in the field.
The challenge
Where current approaches fall short
Machine and equipment integration (CAN bus)
Projects need to extract data from machine or equipment control systems, but protocol decoding and interface logic require specialist expertise.
Edge intelligence development
Local decision logic reduces bandwidth and enables immediate response to safety thresholds.
Fleet orchestration and operations
Centralized monitoring, SIM management, and health reporting are required to operate device fleets across multiple countries.

Frequently asked questions
01What is a connected asset system?
It connects machines and equipment to cloud and enterprise platforms. An edge gateway decodes the machine bus (CAN/J1939, Modbus, Ethernet or serial), applies local rules, and delivers normalized data, while fleet tools manage every gateway in the field.
02Why decode and filter CAN bus data at the edge?
Rule-based filtering, event triggers and local storage on the gateway reduce bandwidth and deliver data that is already decoded and normalized for cloud use, instead of raw frames your backend has to interpret.
03How is a fleet of connected assets managed remotely?
Device health, SIM status and secure OTA updates are managed centrally, giving unified fleet visibility across regions and equipment vendors.
04Can connected assets feed the platform we already use?
Yes. Melqart Systems integrates with AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, the open-source platforms ThingsBoard and OpenRemote, and custom backends. It is not a closed platform.
