Ats Tsauri

I build software that connects plant-floor machines to the systems that run the business: IoT, MES, SCADA and OT/IT integration.

Solution Engineer at Opex Consulting Group and acting product lead for OpexMX, a CMMS. Founder of JoyoDigitama, where I build Voltrus.

Products I’m building

Two products take most of my time: OpexMX at Opex Consulting Group, and Voltrus at my own studio, JoyoDigitama.

Opex Consulting Group, acting product lead

OpexMX

A CMMS for maintenance teams: work orders, preventive maintenance, assets, spare parts and reliability reports. It runs as a hosted service or on-premises from the same codebase, with an Android app for technicians in the field.

I lead the technical architecture and product direction, and run product demos for prospective customers.

Voltrus

Protocol tools, SCADA and MES for industry. Voltrus SCADA is a self-hosted SCADA in a single Rust binary that speaks Modbus TCP, OPC UA, S7, EtherNet/IP, DNP3 and BACnet/IP, with its own MQTT broker. Its core is open source under AGPL-3.0.

The protocol explorers, Modbus Poll among them, are native desktop apps. Four of them are on the Mac App Store.
