What it does
Verkantum is a self serve production monitoring tool for brownfield factories. It lets teams connect machines themselves, change views without consultants, and see production as a live process map; more like Google Maps for the factory floor than static dashboards. The prototype uses natural language to help with setup and runs as a lightweight Rust and Dioxus app. This launch is about sharing the approach and learning from people who work close to production.
Self-serve factory production monitoring. Auto-connects your machines and updates the factory canvas from your instructions.
Auto-connects your machines and updates the factory canvas from your instructions. Most factories lose up to 30% of production time to hidden downtime. Verkantum makes downtime visible by connecting directly to your machines and automatically building a live view of your production floor. Setup happens through a chat-based assistant that configures monitoring as you describe your factory. The dashboard works like Google Maps for production: zoom between lines, machines, and sensors in real time, right from your phone. Navigate your production floor like a map. Zoom from factory overview to individual machines and sensors. Click any element to see live data, historical trends, and…from verkantum.com

Glasskube – Open Source Kubernetes Package Manager, alternative to Helm2024 · github.com · ▲266Hello HN, we're Philip and Louis from Glasskube (https://github.com/glasskube/glasskube). We're working on an open-source package manager for Kubernetes. It's an alternative to tools like Helm or Kustomize, primarily focused on making deploying, updating, and configuring Kubernetes packages simpler and a lot faster. Here is a demo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIeTHGWsG2c#t=17s) with quick start instructions. Most developers working with Kubernetes use Helm, an open-source tool created during a hackathon nine years ago. However, with the rapid…
An LLM-Powered PCB Schematic Checker (Major Update)Jan 2026 · traceformer.io · ▲55Traceformer.io is a web application that ingests KiCad projects or Altium netlists along with relevant datasheets, enabling LLM-based schematic review. The system is designed to identify datasheet-driven schematic issues that traditional ERC tools can't detect. Since our first launch (formerly as Netlist.io), we've made some big changes: - Full KiCad project parsing via an open-source plugin - Pass-through API pricing with a small platform fee - Automatic datasheet retrieval - ERC/DRC-style review UI - Revamped review workflow with selectable frontier models (GPT 5.2, Opus 4.5, and…

- ACAutomated code instrumentation for structured events2024 · ▲21
Hey HN! Sam, Alex and Ben from Invaria (formerly Patchwork Technologies): http://invaria.io. Observability is built on telemetry (metrics, logs and traces). Telemetry data quality is often poor because instrumenting code is still a time consuming task which requires a lot of hand-finishing. We believe that structured event data is the right end goal, and we’re starting by making it easier to get there using structured logging. For our Launch HN (Aug), we set up a demo instance with pre-baked results. We wanted to go further to allow HN readers to give the product a proper test…
