Detect Faults Before Production Stops
Pulse monitors your equipment directly at the controller, detects faults in real time, and alerts exactly the right people via voice call, SMS, push, and email. Runs in your own infrastructure.
The Gap
The controller already knows. The question is when a human does.
A drive runs hot at 02:40. The value is right there on the controller, and on a SCADA screen in an empty control room. Classic IT monitoring tools don't close that gap — they don't speak the protocols of the plant floor. So the fault waits for the morning shift.
How It Works
How a Fault Plays Out
Detect
The drive on line 12 exceeds its temperature limit — Pulse catches it immediately and automatically opens an incident.
Alert
The maintenance technician on shift is alerted via push and SMS. No acknowledgment after five minutes? Pulse escalates automatically — for example to the on-call rotation.
Resolve & Document
The technician acknowledges with one click straight from the message. Once fixed, the incident is resolved — timeline, comments, and response times remain on record.
One platform, running in your infrastructure
Platform
Observability, Alerting and Security — One Platform
Pulse combines equipment monitoring, incident alerting, and vulnerability management. No point solutions, no integration projects.
Observe
Pulse connects natively to OPC UA and Siemens S7 — no additional software or adapters. Check rules with thresholds and freely configurable intervals watch every measuring point in real time.
Alert
Faults are automatically captured as incidents. Multi-step escalation chains and on-call schedules alert via voice call, SMS, push, and email — with acknowledgment straight from the message.
Secure
Pulse continuously matches your device inventory against current security advisories — including CSAF feeds from CERT@VDE and around 40 vendors. Every applicable vulnerability is assessed, triaged, and documented — valuable for your NIS2 processes.
Understand
The dashboard shows the state of all equipment at a glance — with response metrics like MTTA and MTTR, per-measuring-point history charts, and a complete incident record.
Anomaly Detection
Pulse knows your machines. Pulse knows your data.
Most monitoring tools have one or the other: an asset register that never sees a measurement, or a historian that has no idea what produced the number. Pulse holds both — and that is what makes real anomaly detection possible.
Your machine inventory
Every device on the floor — vendor, model, firmware, where it sits in the line, and which published vulnerabilities apply to it.
Your process data
Every sampled value, kept: history from every OPC UA and S7 source you connect, at whatever granularity the question needs, for as long as you configure.
Anomalies, caught early
Pulse learns what normal looks like for each machine and raises an incident when behaviour drifts — no threshold to guess, no rule to maintain, and the alert already knows which asset it is about.
Inside the Product
A Look Inside Pulse
Straight from the product — no mockups.
Model conditions, not just thresholds
Pulse lets you model complex rules and conditions that relate several data sources at once, and alert on them as incidents. The condition monitor is where you build and read them — a visual graph that makes the relationships between your data points easy to follow.
A data lake for your factory floor
Pulse keeps every sampled value, not just the last reading. It builds and maintains a time-series data lake from your plant — your process history in one place, at a granularity chosen for you and kept for as long as you configure. Query it with PQL: pick the aggregations, filter by line or machine, group however you need. The kind of big-data analytics that used to mean a data team and a separate warehouse, running inside your own network.
Ask your equipment, in plain language
The optional AI assistant answers questions about monitors, incidents, measurements and vulnerabilities in the words you would actually use — no query language needed. Findings land on a canvas as interactive cards and charts, and one click takes you to the monitor, incident or finding behind any of them. Countermeasures come back OT-appropriate rather than as generic IT advice, and an MCP adapter lets you point your own model at Pulse instead.
One platform, every kind of signal
OPC UA and S7 tags, known device vulnerabilities, webhook triggers, heartbeats, and composed conditions — all monitored the same way, all feeding the same incident workflow. Pulse grows with whatever you connect next instead of pushing you into a second tool.
Who gets woken up, decided in advance
On-call schedules are built in: rotations per team or per person, layered into escalation levels and visible to everyone. When a monitor fails at three in the morning, Pulse already knows who to call — and who to call after that.
Connectivity
Speaks the Protocols of Your Equipment
Native support for the plant floor — no additional software, no adapters, no interface projects.
OPC UA
Endpoints and nodes with security modes and policies, authentication, and certificate pinning.
Siemens S7
Direct communication with S7 controllers — rack/slot configuration, data types from bit to real.
REST API
Systems that already evaluate alarms — control rooms, SCADA, material flow computers — report them straight to Pulse.
CSV Import
Bulk onboarding of entire plant inventories: create measuring points from a CSV file instead of one by one.
Security
Read-Only by Design
Pulse never writes to your controllers and never scans your network. It reads the values you point it at — and if Pulse stops, production carries on untouched.
No writes to your controllers
Pulse reads process data. It never writes to a controller and never changes a configuration.
No active scanning
Pulse connects only to the endpoints you configure. No discovery, no probing, no sweeps across your network.
Independent of production
Pulse observes the systems it monitors without becoming part of them. Nothing on the line depends on Pulse to run.
Verified connections
OPC UA security modes and policies, authentication, and certificate pinning — Pulse only talks to endpoints it can verify.
Encrypted in transit
TLS throughout, with certificate management built into the appliance.
Role-based access
Every action in Pulse belongs to a named account with a defined role, on the record.
Vulnerability Management
Known Vulnerabilities in Your Devices — Tracked Automatically
Pulse continuously matches your device inventory — vendor, order number, firmware version — against current security advisories, including CSAF feeds from CERT@VDE and around 40 vendors. Every applicable vulnerability shows up as a finding with CVSS score, advisory details, and a recommended action.
- Triage workflow: open, in progress, resolved, not affected, or accepted risk with a follow-up date
- Affected-devices view: the reach of a CVE across all your equipment at a glance
- Complete documentation of every decision — valuable for your NIS2 processes
Operations
Runs in Your Infrastructure — Without an IT Project

- No forced cloud, full data sovereignty
- Only the alert message reaches the delivery service
Notifications & Integration
SMS, voice calls, and app push are delivered through our web services — servers exclusively in Germany, GDPR-compliant.
- Voice call, SMS, push, and email
- Acknowledgment straight from the message
- Documented REST API
- Alarm intake from control rooms and SCADA
Existing systems such as control rooms, SCADA, or material flow computers report their alarms straight to Pulse via the REST API — both paths can be combined.
