Know What Happens to Your Data When Connectivity Disappears.
MetaCrust helps organizations operating in remote, harsh, and low-connectivity environments detect data interruptions, preserve data that reaches the gateway, recover buffered data when connectivity returns, and understand what happened along the way.
Detect device, functional, communication and data anomalies with explanations
Store and Forward
Preserve and recover data during connectivity interruptions
Interruption Visibility
Detect the likely causes of downtime and provide actionable insights for recovery
The Problem
When Connectivity Fails, Data Shouldn’t Become a Mystery
Traditional monitoring can tell you that data is missing. MetaCrust is designed to help answer the questions that come next:
Q.01When did the interruption begin?
Q.02How long did it last?
Q.03Was the source device still producing data?
Q.04Where was the likely failure point?
Q.05What data reached the gateway and was preserved?
Q.06What was recovered when connectivity returned?
MetaCrust turns communication interruptions into measurable, explainable operational events.
How MetaCrust Works
01
CONNECT
Connect sensors, meters, controllers, equipment and other field devices using industrial and IoT interfaces.
OBSERVE
Continuously monitor device communication, data flow, gateway health and network connectivity.
DETECT
Identify interruptions, silent devices, abnormal communication behaviour, connectivity failures and other anomalies. Generate clear and actionable alerts to enable timely corrective action.
PRESERVE
Buffer data that reaches the gateway when its destination becomes unavailable.
RECOVER
Automatically replay recoverable buffered data when connectivity is restored.
EXPLAIN
Provide continuity metrics and incident evidence showing what happened, what was preserved and what was recovered.

3Uplink
1
Sensor InputsConnects to existing industrial sensors, controllers, and equipment through RS-485, RS-232, Modbus RTU/TCP, MQTT, and other supported interfaces.
2
Edge GatewayMonitors incoming data and connectivity, detects interruptions and anomalies, and buffers data locally during upstream outages.
3
UplinkForwards data to upstream systems over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or cellular networks, with configurable failover.

When the Link DropsData received by the gateway is buffered locally and automatically forwarded when connectivity returns.

Capabilities
One Gateway. Multiple Layers of Visibility.
01
Device & Data Monitoring
Monitor device status, live readings, operational metrics, historical trends, and data availability.
02
Anomaly Detection
Detect silent devices, abnormal readings, unexpected data patterns, communication failures, and reporting irregularities.
03
Store-and-Forward Recovery
Buffer gateway-received data during upstream outages and automatically replay it when connectivity returns.
04
Connectivity Management
Monitor Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and cellular connectivity, with configurable priorities and automatic failover.
05
Incident Intelligence
Correlate device, gateway, network, and destination events to identify likely failure causes and explain interruptions.
06
Continuity Evidence
Quantify interruption duration, buffered and recovered data, recovery completeness, and unrecovered data.
Inside the Platform
The control plane, running on the gateway.
Real screens from the MetaCrust Edge Gateway. No separate server is needed to see what your data is doing.
01 · LIVE MONITORING
Every sensor, live, with the history behind it.
Per-device readings with health status, zoomable trends from one hour to thirty days, rolling statistics and CSV export, all served from the gateway itself.
02 · ANOMALY DETECTION
Flags problems and explains them in plain language.
The engine watches for limit crossings, sudden spikes, runaway trends, unusual behaviour, silent signals and invalid readings. Each flag says what happened and what could be wrong.
03 · STORE-AND-FORWARD RECOVERY
Connection drops. Data waits. Then it's delivered.
When the destination is unreachable, messages are held in a local buffer that survives restarts. When the link returns they are replayed automatically, and every one is counted.
○ CONNECTION DOWN
● RECOVERED
04 · CONNECTIVITY MANAGEMENT
Ethernet, Wi-Fi and cellular, with failover you can see.
Track the active uplink, standby links, down events and total downtime per interface, and set the priority order for failover.
Built for Challenging Environments
01
Mining & Remote Operations
Maintain visibility across remote monitoring systems, environmental equipment, utility skids and field instrumentation.
02
Manufacturing & Industrial Systems
Add continuity monitoring to existing equipment, production systems and process/utility skids.
03
Water & Environmental Monitoring
Preserve field data through intermittent communications and remote-site outages.
04
Telecom & Remote Infrastructure
Monitor distributed equipment where network availability cannot always be assumed.
05
Healthcare & Connected IoT
Extend secure connected-device environments with gateway-level communication monitoring, continuity and recovery capabilities.
Works With Existing Infrastructure
MetaCrust is designed as an overlay—not a replacement for your existing PLC, SCADA, monitoring or cloud systems.

IMPORTANT DATA BOUNDARY
MetaCrust can preserve and account for data that successfully reaches the gateway. Data that never reaches the gateway because of an upstream device or acquisition failure cannot be recovered by the gateway.
Don’t Just Know That Data Is Missing. Know What Happened to It.
Bring greater visibility, continuity and recovery to connected operations in environments where connectivity cannot always be guaranteed.
