Meddle

Hello HN, I’m Michele. I’m building Meddle because connecting hardware stuff is still way harder than it should be. Every factory I worked with had the same problem: robots, PLCs, CNCs, sensors, all speaking different protocols, all locked in silos. Getting data out meant custom scripts, fragile gateways, or expensive vendor lock-ins. What I built: Meddle is a data-driven IoT platform that connects industrial machines to any destination. It normalizes machine data, enriches it, and streams it where you need it: cloud, MES, analytics, or custom pipelines. The use case: Teams use Meddle to: -…

What it does

Meddle is the integration platform that allows you to integrate, collect, manage and analyze both production data and IT data. Meddle unifies data from multiple sources into a single, coherent platform, eliminating fragmented information and enabling holistic operational insights. With Meddle, you can truly add value to your data by streamlining complex processes, reduce energy waste and optimize costs. Finally, you can talk to the data using natural language to understand trends in real time.

Meddle is the IoT platform that allows you to integrate, collect, manage and analyze production data.

Meddle è la piattaforma dati industriale che unisce i dati delle tue macchine (OT) e dei tuoi sistemi (IT) e ti fa parlare con loro. Chiedi in italiano — consumi, fermi, OEE, anomalie — e trasforma le risposte in azioni. Meddle può anche scrivere sui macchinari per te. Macchine e sistemi generano milioni di valori, tra OT e IT. Il problema non è raccoglierli: è capirli — senza costruire cruscotti, senza un data analyst, senza aspettare sei mesi. Con Meddle fai una domanda e i tuoi impianti rispondono. Ogni sorgente OT e IT: PLC, OPC-UA, S7, Modbus, MQTT, database, ERP, cloud. Senza lock-in. I dati grezzi diventano OEE, consumi in euro, grafici in tempo reale e anomalie rilevate in…from meddleconnect.com

    Hey HN! This is Steve from integrate.ai (https://integrate.ai). Our platform unlocks a range of machine learning and analytics capabilities on data that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to access due to privacy, confidentiality, or technical hurdles. Traditional approaches to machine learning and analytics require centralization and aggregation of data sources. Given the increasingly distributed nature of data - across organizations, across borders, and across connected devices - centralizing the data necessary for machine learning and analytics often requires complex…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
