• Build on the interfaces that connect Laminar to customer systems, including MES integration and industrial communication protocols like Ethernet/IP, OPC UA, Profinet, Modbus, etc. Make it easy for a customer to integrate our system with what they have running.
• Build automated provisioning, remote updates, rollback, logging, and monitoring capabilities. Design for intermittent connectivity, power interruptions, and limited physical access.
• Implement secure device access, identity management, software delivery, and communication between edge systems and cloud services.
• Turn factory requirements into platform capabilities, working closely with hardware, software, data, and deployment teams.
