Design
Engineering data is where every project starts and where most of it goes wrong. Schedules, drawings and libraries become the thing that is actually built, without being retyped along the way.

01 What we build
Industrial systems are built once and run for decades. The software around them tends to arrive as disconnected point solutions — a spreadsheet here, a vendor tool there, a folder of drawings nobody can search. Vextral builds the pieces that connect those stages to each other.
Engineering data is where every project starts and where most of it goes wrong. Schedules, drawings and libraries become the thing that is actually built, without being retyped along the way.
Plant equipment speaks proprietary protocols across backplanes and buses. Getting data out of it, safely and without guessing, is a solved problem only if you have the right instrument.
Changes get tested against the real thing or they get tested in production. A deterministic model of the plant means the first option stays available.
Once systems are connected and running, the value moves to what the data says. Diagnostics, intent and the workbench that ties the rest together.
02 Products
Each one exists because the job needed it and nothing on the market did it. They share a platform, so what is learned in one reaches the others.
Protocol inspector and emulator. Connect to a live endpoint read-only and keep the evidence, then recreate the condition in a controlled lab without risking the real device.
A Linux single-board computer on the Mitsubishi iQ-R backplane, bridging data between the CPU rack and the network.
A deterministic virtual plant for hardware-in-the-loop PLC testing. The simulator runs the process so the controller can be exercised against it.
Turns a plant IO schedule into Mitsubishi GX Works3 global labels, so the spreadsheet and the controller cannot drift apart.
Indexes engineering document libraries held on synced drives, so the drawing you need is findable rather than remembered.
The workbench and engineering harness for the platform — where intent, diagnostics and the other tools meet.
03 Approach
Start at the equipment, not the brochure. Read what the endpoint actually does, on real plant, before anything is designed around an assumption.
Build on what is already installed. Industrial estates are decades deep and replacement is rarely the answer, so the software reaches the plant where it is.
Ship something that runs on site and survives handover. A tool that only works on the bench has not solved the problem.
