Make any machine
Alpamayo lets you validate your smart-factory vision in weeks through a fixed-cost pilot, then scale on an open, handover-ready infrastructure with zero lock-in.All built on a single model that organizes every machine, system, and datapoint for real-time analytics, diagnostics, and automation.

EggersmannSee PREKIT Running a Live Chocolate Factory
78 machines, 7 production areas, real orders, and live sensor data from roasting to dispatch. This is not a mockup. It is the same open edge-data architecture we deploy in real factories.
Stop tying machine data access to MES and ERP contracts.
When execution slows, it’s tempting to buy a turnkey “digital transformation” package. But the shortcut comes with a hidden cost: you lose control of the very infrastructure your future depends on.
Never change a running System
Systems talking to systems talking to systems... even implementing a simple metric requires four IT teams, four weeks, and far too much budget.
MES that never fits
Your “next generation” MES still can’t keep up with day-to-day operations, so you end up rebuilding it once again.
Data that doesn’t become Information
You’re collecting terabytes, but none of it carries the context you need to make real decisions.
Locked out of your own Infrastructure
Changing vendors or adding new systems always means a rebuild, because the architecture only works as long as the original providers keep it alive. Your implementation partners know the setup better than your own team — and every project widens that gap.
We build a Unified Namespace.A single data layer across machines, MES, ERP, and AI.
Validate before you commit
Test your smart-factory vision without disruption, guesswork, or runaway budgets. PREKIT gives you a plug-and-play pilot that connects to your machines in days and delivers a working architecture in weeks at a fixed cost. You see exactly what the future looks like before scaling a single step.
- Low-risk, fixed-cost pilot
- Real machines, real data, real results
- Clear decisions on feasibility and ROI
A Unified Namespace for the entire Factory
A real-time operational model that makes your data consistent, future-ready, and usable across the entire factory. Alpamayo structures every machine, system, datapoint, and process into a single, factory-wide model your team can configure and extend. Delivering event-driven, contextualized, real-time data you can trust.
- One unified model for machines, processes, and production flows
- Real-time updates across all systems
- Open architecture ready for new machines, new apps, and new sites
Architecture built for your control, not ours
We are the only platform built to be fully handed over. No black boxes, no dependencies. Alpamayo is designed for digital sovereignty. Your team owns the infrastructure, the code, and the roadmap. Deploy it anywhere and evolve it however you want, with or without our help.
- You own the source code
- Deploy on Edge, on-premise, or cloud
- Built on open protocols and transparent architecture
Bring Data anywhere it is needed
Put data into the hands of the people, who need it to make your operation more efficient.
- Integrations with any ERP, MES, or IT system
- Individualized dashboards and applications for the shopfloor
- Leverage agents and co-pilots to dig into your operation's data
Validate your smart-factory vision before you scale, in three focussed sprints.
Building your smart factory infrastructure is broken into steps that are quick to deliver, easy to understand, and safe to scale. Our method runs as focused sprints that keep teams aligned and minimize time-to-first-insight.
Strategy
Before we touch a machine, we align on what makes a difference. We map production data to decisions that matter in your operation and figure out whether our approach works for you.
- A practical, prioritized roadmap
- Use cases linked directly to value
- Zero cost until we earn the right to move forward
PREKIT: Your First Connected Machine
You get your first functioning slice of the future. We connect one machine end-to-end with your IT systems. You see your future architecture working in just one week.
- Clean, structured operational data
- Secure, reliable connectivity from Edge to IT
- A POC ready for growth
- 100% discounted from the next sprint
Your Factory Digitally Structured
From one machine to your core operations in a single month. Using the exact same architecture, we scale across your shopfloor without rework or reinvention.
- A model ready for MES, IIoT, dashboards, and AI
- Enterprise-grade security
- No proprietary traps
Your Unified Namespace starts with a single PREKIT node. Pilot it for CHF 5,000.
PREKIT is an Edge Node developed by Alpamayo that connects to any PLC on your shopfloor, collects and maps data to your operational data model, and brings everything together to create a unified, Edge-driven architecture. It’s how we can test your smart-factory vision with real data, real context, and real results before scaling anything. Securely, thoroughly, and at record speeds.
PREKIT provides a secure, edge-driven, and vendor-agnostic means of setting up a Unified Namespace via nodes connected to the PLCs of your equipment on the shopfloor and any other data sources.
Your digital backbone should never be rented, and with PREKIT you will find no subscription traps or lock-in disguised as convenience. Only technology and architecture that you own and can keep using.

Für eine unserer Anlagen brauchten wir nun eine Lösung, um sicher und robust Zugriff auf Sensorwerte und Parameter von den S7-Steuerungen unserer Gasregelstation an entfernten Standorten zu bekommen. OPC/UA war aufgrund des Steuerungsalters keine Option. Alpamayo konnte uns binnen eines Tages eine Lösung einschliesslich Visualisierungs-Tool bereitstellen, mit der wir über eine sichere VPN-Verbindung auf die Daten zugreifen konnten.
Our process for oxygen-free filling and sealing of cans is new in the beverage industry. Thanks to the data-driven insights gained with Alpamayo's PREKIT software and the remote support it enables, we were able to adjust process parameters and machine design to increase process stability within a short period of time. Excellent collaboration with the Alpamayo team!
Thanks to its comprehensive expertise, positive momentum, professional project planning, and excellent collaboration with Steinemann, Alpamayo developed a functioning expert system within just a few weeks.
The expertise and dedication of the Alpamayo team made our workshop an extremely productive and informative experience. The practical insights and concrete recommendations will undoubtedly have a positive impact on our project.
This is pretty badass.
Alpamayo was a key partner in validating our automation solution using data-driven analytics. Their professionalism and commitment led to a smooth collaboration, and the result was absolutely gratifying.
Willemin-Macodel embarked on a mission to devise a test cycle that gauges the health of a specific component using signals from the machine controller [...] to determine which test conditions best highlight component defects based on parameters like speed, position or force. [...] Here, CSEM and Alpamayo's expertise and toolboxes lead to very promising results.
It's a real pleasure working with you and your team, you take the time to understand our needs and always aim to provide the best possible solutions. It's truly appreciated.
Alpamayo demonstrates a deep understanding of our challenges, working with remarkable clarity and organization. Their efficiency and availability strengthen our excellent collaboration.
