This is really neat, I know a lot of folks in manufacturing QA that would love something like this. The telemetry aspect of industrial equipment is terrible IMO, so many folks are hand rolling sensors and triggers and then trying to duct tape an extremely fragile monitoring and dashboard system using something like graphite. Neat space to be in!

How are you going to interface with the big boys like rockwell? I see you have drivers, what about partnerships? I know a lot of companies tend to only work with toolsets their provider "blesses", so having them on "your team" can help. You may have to pick favorites to win early deals/"synergy" (and may help with acquisition?)

I've worked with industrial automation in the past and have always enjoyed the technical constraints within it. I would be interested in helping you with pre or post-sales support/training/implementation for your customers if you need it. Email is in my profile.
