One platform. Three pillars plus EmberCORE.
EmberNET is an industrial edge platform built on three integrated pillars: an immutable real-time OS, zero-trust networking, and a web-based IDE for custom applications. Run any containerized or VM payload, deployed as one ecosystem on the factory floor, with no cloud dependency and no vendor lock-in. Plus EmberCORE, the unified dashboard.
EmberRTOS
Immutable real-time edge OS. Auto-rollback patching, Plasma firewall built in. Edge and desktop versions for every tier.
Learn more PillarEmberFLUX
Zero-trust networking with post-quantum encryption and a remote device maintenance tunnel. No exposed ports, no VPN configs, secure by default across every node.
Learn more PillarEmberForge
Web-based IDE for building applications on EmberNET. VSCodium with an AI coding agent built in, aware of your infrastructure. Write, test and ship without leaving the browser.
Learn moreEmberCORE
The unified dashboard for your entire EmberNET deployment. Monitor every node, manage payloads and control access from one place.

Industrial PC. Velasea industrial PCs, tested and validated for EmberNET, on x86-64 or ARM64. Rack it, power it, and it enrolls. More on Industrial PC
EmberRTOS. EmberNET’s own immutable OS, with a real-time kernel on a switch: 23 µs worst-case wake-up over a 24 hour soak. More on EmberRTOS
EmberNET Endpoint. Enrolls the machine and carries its tunnels. Nothing at the plant listens for an inbound connection. More on EmberNET Endpoint
Orchestration. A small Kubernetes at every site, updated centrally, so an app restarts itself instead of waiting for a truck roll. More on Orchestration
Apps. CODESYS, Ignition Edge, Node-RED, databases and monitoring, deployed from the App Store to the node you choose. More on Apps
EmberFLUX. The zero-trust overlay. Access is by identity, connections go out on 443 only, and there are no open ports at the plant. More on EmberFLUX
EmberCORE. One console for every site: role views, tenant scope, the App Store, operations and an exportable audit trail. More on EmberCORE
Your people. Operators, engineers and admins sign in with their own company accounts and see only their own sites. More on Your people
Up and running in three steps.
From deployment to full visibility in under an hour.
- 01
Deploy the edge stack
Deploy EmberNET on your edge hardware. Automated provisioning sets up the full stack, EmberCORE, data pipeline, monitoring and zero-trust networking, in a single step.
- 02
Connect your devices
Add your gateways, PLCs and edge devices. The mesh network discovers services automatically: no firewall rules, no VPN configs, no exposed ports.
- 03
Monitor everything
Real-time operational data flows into your time-series store. View live metrics, set alerts and manage sites from EmberCORE.
Deployment proof. 40+ nodes deployed across a discrete-manufacturing facility in under 5 days, full SCADA, telemetry and zero-trust networking operational from day one.

EmberOPS
EmberOPS is Fireball-built industrial operations software that runs on the EmberNET platform. Three modules (EHS, MES and WMS) delivered exclusively through the EmberNET App Store as source-available software. Not the platform. Software on the platform.
Ember EHS
Environmental, Health and Safety. 14 sub-modules covering incident management, permits to work, CAPA, audits and training. Native DocTypes on ERPNext. No third-party integration, no connectors.
See modulesEmber MES
Headless Manufacturing Execution. Versioned REST API, OEE, SPC, genealogy and traceability built in. Bring your own Ignition, Node-RED or React HMI, or use the included UI.
See modulesEmber WMS
API-first Warehouse Management. Tablet PWA with offline queue, bilingual ES/EN, versioned REST API for scanners, AMRs, voice systems and conveyors.
See modulesLicensing. EmberOPS runs on Frappe v15 and ERPNext v15, both GPL-3.0. All EmberOPS modules and add-ons ship under BSL 1.1: source included with every install, internal production use granted, no redistribution without a commercial agreement. Full licensing details
How EmberOPS compares
| Vendor | What it actually is | License / deployment reality | Notable detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| EmberOPS | Open manufacturing OS: MES + WMS + EHS + compliance, built on Frappe/ERPNext | Source-available; ships with full source code | Extends ERPNext via hooks, not forks. No dead-branch risk on upstream updates. |
| Sepasoft | MES suite (OEE, Batch, Track & Trace, SPC, Settings & Changeover, Business Connector) | Proprietary; requires the Ignition platform (Inductive Automation) as a separate paid dependency | Publicly itemized pricing: OEE Downtime $22,700 (perpetual site license), Batch Procedure $35,000 (perpetual server license), Track & Trace $22,700, SPC $9,100, Settings & Changeover $9,100. All before Ignition platform cost and annual support. |
| Intelex | EHS/Quality/ESG SaaS platform | Closed-source, cloud and web-based only, no on-prem option | Pricing gated behind a sales quote; no published figures. |
| Manhattan Associates | WMS/TMS supply chain execution suite | Closed-source, cloud-native “versionless” architecture with forced automatic upgrades | Pricing gated behind a sales quote; no published figures. |
| SAP Digital Manufacturing | Cloud-native MES on SAP’s BTP | Closed-source; legacy on-prem predecessors (SAP ME / SAP MII) are in sunset mode with SAP steering investment to cloud | Even inside SAP’s own community forum, customers are asking SAP to clarify DM pricing and licensing metrics. It is not just hard for outsiders to find; it is unclear internally too. |
Built on industry-leading technology.
