What is Busroot?

Busroot is a dedicated manufacturing performance platform with the goal of providing a set of key manufacturing KPIs, out of the box. These metrics and insights are presented via a modern, web-based interface.

The aggregated information produced by Busroot serves as the single source of truth for both real-time and historical activity on the shop floor for data-driven decision making.

Busroot is also the perfect tool to inform other reporting that relies on accurate shop-floor context (such as predictive maintenance and AI-based automation).

Busroot directly connects machines via a wide range of supported methods. It is hardware agnostic, allowing for any IoT sensor, PLC or data acquisition unit to provide data into the platform.

Busroot has 100% API coverage for all inputs and outputs.

Who is Busroot for?

Busroot is for any manufacturer looking to increase production throughput, reduce downtime and improve energy efficiency using a standardised approach to data collection, management and visualisation.
