Cloud-Free-Industrial

Your Equipment Still Works.
Keep It That Way.

We modernize legacy CNC machines, SCADA systems, water treatment controls, and industrial automation — extending equipment life by 10–20 years without replacing what still runs fine.

The Problem We Solve

Most Industrial Equipment Doesn’t Wear Out. The Software Around It Does.

A CNC machine from 1998 can still cut metal perfectly. A SCADA system from 2005 can still control a water plant correctly. The problem is the controller, the software, and the network layer around them.

Obsolete Controllers

Windows 95/98-era CNC controllers can’t connect to modern networks, can’t be backed up, and parts are scarce. One failure stops the floor.

Security Exposure

Legacy SCADA and PLC systems were never designed for networked environments. Connecting them to IT infrastructure without hardening creates critical vulnerabilities.

Institutional Knowledge Loss

The operator who knows how the machine works is retiring. The documentation doesn’t exist or can’t be searched. When something breaks, nobody knows what it did.

Core Services

What We Actually Build

We don’t sell equipment. We modernize the control layer around the equipment you already own.

CNC Controller Modernization

Legacy to LinuxCNC or modern equivalent

We replace aging Fanuc, Mitsubishi, and proprietary CNC controllers with open, maintainable alternatives — keeping your existing servo drives, spindles, and tooling intact. Your machine keeps cutting; the software around it becomes serviceable.

Municipal Water & Wastewater SCADA

Safe, air-gapped, and fully documented

Water and wastewater treatment facilities depend on reliable, secure SCADA. We modernize aging systems with hardened, air-gapped architectures that meet regulatory requirements and eliminate single points of failure.

PLC & HMI Upgrades

Modern interfaces for legacy logic

Replace cracked screens, obsolete PLCs, and paper-based HMIs with modern touchscreen interfaces and maintainable ladder logic — without rewriting your process from scratch. Operators learn the new system in hours, not weeks.

Industrial AI Documentation

Capture knowledge before it walks out the door

We interview your operators, extract existing documentation, and build a searchable AI knowledge base that runs entirely on-premises. When your most experienced tech retires, their knowledge stays on your floor.

Security Architecture

Air-Gapped When It Has to Be. Connected When It Should Be.

Critical infrastructure shouldn’t be on the internet. Water treatment, high-security manufacturing, and municipal utilities get fully air-gapped deployments with no external network path — period.

OT/IT Network SeparationOperational technology and IT networks are physically separated with one-way data diodes where monitoring is needed.
Redundant Local StorageAll programs, parameters, and documentation backed up locally. No cloud dependency. No single point of failure.
Documented Disaster RecoveryStep-by-step recovery procedures so any technician can restore the system without calling us first.

Why Cloud-Free-Industrial

We Understand Old Machines

Most IT contractors don’t know what a CNC is. Most machine shops don’t know how to harden a network. We live in both worlds.

We Don’t Sell Equipment

We have no incentive to recommend a replacement when a modernized controller works just as well. Our job is to extend the life of what you already own — not sell you something new.

We Document Everything

Every engagement ends with complete, machine-readable documentation — wiring diagrams, parameter backups, G-code libraries, and operator guides. Not in our heads. In yours.

We Stay for Support

We offer ongoing support agreements so you have someone to call when something unexpected happens — not just during the project, but two years later when a PLC throws a code at 3 AM.
