Industrial software since 2008

Every field device, read, recorded and put to work.

Vanit builds Lichen, an IoT orchestrator that reads your equipment, keeps its history, raises its alarms and runs the work your site needs done, on your own infrastructure.

Discover Lichen Talk to us
The Lichen dashboard: open alarms with their trends, events of the day, alarms per day and the assets with their live values

Industrial protocols

Modbus, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, Siemens S7, MQTT, BACnet/IP, DNP3, SNMP, HTTP APIs and ICMP.

Edge, offline-ready

Gateways read, alarm and run jobs with no server in reach.

ISA-18.2 alarms

Every alarm journaled and measured against ISA-18.2 and EEMUA 191.

Enrolled by QR code

A one-time QR code installs and enrols an edge gateway with one line, and remote upgrades roll back on their own.

Lichen

One platform beneath your operations

Lichen sits between your devices and your business systems. It keeps the connections, the history, the alarms and the automation running, and answers every system in front of it through one API.

Connect any site

Read PLCs, meters and brokers over the protocols the plant already speaks, from the server or from an edge gateway at the site.

  • Modbus TCP and RTU, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, Siemens S7, MQTT with Sparkplug B, BACnet/IP, DNP3, SNMP and HTTP APIs
  • Edge gateways installed with one line, upgraded remotely, rolled back on failure
  • Every link measured: uptime, response time and failed reads
A gateway's link health: response time of each PLC over a week, and data quality per asset

History you can trust

Every point is kept as it changes, with its quality, and queried by the minute or by day, week and month in your time zone.

  • Sampling and recording set apart, with deadband and heartbeat
  • Time-weighted averages, counters, run hours and starts
  • Live values and trends for every asset
Trends of a pump: bearing temperature, motor current, hours run and running state over 24 hours, with alarm limits

Alarms that stand up to an audit

Alarms are decided where the point is read, even with no server in reach, and measured the way ISA-18.2 measures them.

  • Thresholds with hysteresis and debounce, or a rule over several points
  • Acknowledgement, shelving, and escalation to your paging system
  • A journal of floods, bad actors, chattering and time to acknowledge
The alarm journal: alarms raised a day, time in flood, time to acknowledge and the bad actors of the last 14 days

See failures coming

Lichen ranks every watched point by how soon its trend reaches the limit, so the maintenance visit is planned before the failure.

  • The last fortnight's trend held against each alarm limit
  • A point against its own baseline, this week against last
  • Hour by hour, day by day, to find when a problem starts
A pump's vibration over 14 days drifting past its limit, compared with its first week and with motor current

Automate what the site needs done

Jobs start on a schedule, on a changing value, on an alarm or on request, and every run is kept.

  • Calls to other systems, scripts and point writes, retried with backoff
  • Commands written at most once and confirmed by reading the device back
  • Scripts and services in Python or TypeScript, supervised by Lichen
Job runs: each run's job, gateway, trigger, status and duration
Delivery

Installed on your infrastructure. Operated by us.

Your network, your data

One installation per customer, on premises or in your private cloud. Gateways only dial out: no inbound ports at the site.

Run by Vanit

Our engineers commission each site, write its integrations and keep it running, remotely and on a schedule you approve.

Open to your systems

Your SCADA, ERP, BI and applications read live values, history and alarms through one JSON-RPC API.

Predictable pricing

A flat price per site. No devices, points or messages to count.

Vanit Technology

Industrial software engineering since 2008

We are a software company for industrial automation and IoT. We write the drivers, the data platforms and the consoles ourselves, and put them into production at our customers' sites.

Industrial protocols

Drivers written in-house that bridge legacy equipment and modern software.

Data acquisition

Platforms that read field data continuously, clean it and keep its history.

Systems engineering

On-premise and private-cloud deployments, reproducible and easy to operate.

Web applications

Fast, focused consoles for the operators and engineers who run a plant.
