Industrial IIoT & Industry 4.0 platform

Your whole factory.
One screen.

AGAD Portal connects the machines, meters and systems you already have — then puts production, utilities, maintenance and quality data side by side, live and historic, in a single pane of glass.

Built by process automation engineers who understand OT, industrial connectivity and the processes behind the data

Deploy and prove it in your own plant before you commit to a licence

Why AGAD? Industrial data is only useful when someone can turn it into action

The problem

Factories aren't short of data.
They're short of visibility.

01

Data is scattered

Machines, meters, spreadsheets and half a dozen separate cloud portals — none of them talking to each other.

02

Problems spotted too late

By the time a trend shows up in a weekly report, the scrap has already been made.

03

Performance is assumed

Targets tracked by hand, on clipboards and whiteboards, based on what people think happened.

04

Data goes unused

It gets collected and stored, then sits there — because nobody has time to turn it into a decision.

05

Nothing is analysed

Nobody is watching the plant's key numbers week on week and telling you what has actually changed — for the better or the worse.

Every factory needs to connect, collect, store, analyse, visualise, report and alert. Most struggle with at least one of those. Many struggle with all of them.
What we do

Connect. Collect. Store. Analyse.

Four steps, one supplier. We start at the edge device — where the data actually is — and take it all the way through to the screen someone acts on.

We connect to the equipment you already have, understand the process behind the data, and take it all the way to the screen someone acts on.

STEP 01

Connect

We speak to what you already own, using industrial open protocols — no rip and replace.

  • AGAD gateway modules (Ethernet, GSM, LoRaWAN)
  • OPC servers & Modbus devices
  • MQTT, OPC UA and REST APIs
  • Manual entry, CSV and emailed files

All five methods in detail →

STEP 02

Collect

Process values, production counts, utilities, lab results and manual readings, all landing in one place.

  • Temperature, pressure, level, flow
  • Power, water, gas, steam, fuel
  • Production counts & downtime reasons
  • Multiple sites into one view
STEP 03

Store

A structured asset model, so every reading, document and audit hangs off the equipment it belongs to.

  • Asset-based data structure
  • Full history, not just live values
  • Event log of every setpoint change
  • Optional storage on your own servers
STEP 04

Analyse

Dashboards, trends and KPIs — and a plain answer to "what changed this week, and was it better or worse?"

  • Period-on-period change analysis
  • Dashboards & tiles per role
  • Email and SMS alarm alerts
  • Scheduled and compliance reporting
  • MQTT / API out to higher-level systems
Connecting at the edge

Five ways to get data
out of your plant

This is the part most platforms skip over. Getting a reading off a twenty-year-old PLC, a flow meter on an RS485 loop or a supplier's cloud API is where projects stall — so it's the part we do ourselves, with our own hardware and our own software.

AGAD PORTAL AGAD GATEWAY EDGE DATA COLLECTOR Illustration — AGAD Gateway (ARMxy BL450 platform)

Method 01 — our own hardware

The AGAD Gateway

A DIN-rail industrial edge computer running our own software. It sits in the panel, talks to whatever is already there, buffers locally if the link drops, and pushes to the portal over an encrypted connection. Available as a Linux appliance or as a Windows service where a site already runs a data PC.

Linux appliance Fanless ARM edge computer, Ubuntu / Linux-RT, −40 °C to +85 °C, DIN-35 rail. Dual gigabit ethernet, up to 4× RS485/RS232, digital and analogue I/O, optional 4G. Built on the ARMxy BL450 platform.
Windows service Where a site already runs a control or SCADA PC, the same collector installs as a Windows service — no extra box in the panel, same protocols, same buffering and same portal connection.
Modbus RTU / TCPOPC UAMQTTEtherCATStore & forward bufferRemote updateEncrypted uplink

MQTTMethod 02

Publish/subscribe messaging for anything already speaking the industrial IoT standard. We run a broker, or connect to yours.

  • AGAD MQTT broker, or bring your own
  • Sparkplug B payloads supported
  • Feeds a Unified Namespace
  • TLS with per-device credentials

Two-way — in from devices, out to your data lake

RESTful APIMethod 03

A documented HTTP API for systems that would rather push than be polled — including other clouds you're already paying for.

  • Push readings in, pull history out
  • Pull from a supplier's existing cloud
  • Token authentication, rate limited
  • JSON, timestamped at source

Two-way — push in or pull out

OPC UAMethod 04

The standard almost every modern PLC and SCADA system already exposes. If you have an OPC server, you have a connection.

  • Client to your existing OPC UA server
  • Browse the address space, pick tags
  • Classic OPC DA via a bridge
  • Certificate-based security

Inbound — we read your server

Emailed filesMethod 05

For the equipment that will never speak a protocol. A lab instrument or legacy system that emails a daily CSV is still a data source.

  • Watched mailbox, parsed on arrival
  • CSV and fixed-format reports
  • Historic backfill from file
  • Manual entry where nothing else exists

Inbound — scheduled or ad hoc

Not sure what you've got? That's normal — most sites don't have a full list. Working out what can be connected, and what it would take, is what the first engineering days are for.

One platform

Everything your plant runs on,
in one place

AGAD Portal isn't one tool bolted to one problem. It brings the separate clouds you're already paying for under a single window — without removing them.

Process & product data

Temperature, pressure, level, flow and quality parameters — live and historic, per asset.

Production & OEE

Availability, performance and quality, downtime reasons and ANDON — measured, not estimated.

Energy & utilities

Power, water, gas, steam and fuel — by line, by area, by shift. The basis for carbon reporting.

CMMS

Planned preventative maintenance, work orders and calibration records with a clean audit trail.

Asset management

Every tag, journal, audit and life-cycle record attached to the asset it belongs to.

Documents & drawings

Manuals, P&IDs and certificates stored against the equipment, findable by the people on shift.

Large screen displays

Key KPIs on the wall where the work happens — a different view for each area of the factory.

Alerts & reporting

Email and SMS alerts on critical KPIs, audit trails, regulatory and compliance reporting.

Cloud overload is real. One portal for power, another for OEE, another for maintenance. AGAD Portal complements what you have rather than replacing it — giving you one window onto every site.

Why AGAD Portal

Built differently for real-world industrial environments

Pricing

No per-user charges

You pay for the number of data points you connect. Not seats. Give the whole shift access, put it on the wall, share it with the maintenance team — the price doesn't move. Per-user pricing is the single biggest reason factory data stays locked in one person's login.

Background

We're OT, not IT

Listo has been a process automation company since 2007. We design and build the hardware, we speak the industrial protocols, and we've stood at the panel doing the commissioning. That means we get data off awkward edge devices — and we understand why you want it.

Scope

A true single pane of glass

Production, utilities, maintenance, assets, documents and quality in one product, structured around one asset model. One view across one site, or across every site you run — without jumping between systems.

Fast to deployDays, not months. Engineering time is part of the offer, not an assumption.
Designed to growStart with one line, prove the value, then add data points, machines and sites as you expand
Affordable for SMEsEnterprise capability without an enterprise budget or a specialist team.
Secure by designISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified by NQA, with optional data segregation onto your own servers.
Security & certification

Certified to the international standard
for information security

Your process data is commercially sensitive. Production rates, recipes, downtime and energy figures say more about your business than most of what you publish — so the platform holding them is independently audited, not self-declared.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022

Information Security Management System

StatusCertified — not self-assessed, not in progress
Certified byNQA, an accredited UKAS certification body
ScopeProtection of data stored, processed and transmitted by the AGAD Portal industrial cloud monitoring system

Certificate no.188897

The platform itself is in scope — not just the office

Plenty of certificates cover a company's internal IT and stop there. Ours names the AGAD Portal and the data it stores, processes and transmits. That is the system your plant data actually lives in.

Audited by a third party, and re-audited

NQA assessed the management system against the standard and returns for surveillance audits. Certification is not a one-off exercise — it has to be maintained, with the evidence to show for it.

Your data can stay on your own servers

Where a site needs it, customer data can be segregated and hosted on the customer's own infrastructure rather than our cloud — the same platform, a different place for the data to sit.

A security-first way of working, not a badge

The standard requires risk assessment, access control, incident response and continual improvement to be run as a management system. It is how we operate, and it is why we can answer a customer's security questionnaire without a scramble.

Need the certificate, our ISMS scope statement, or a completed security questionnaire for your procurement team? Ask and we'll send them.

Our mission

To make factory data usable — connecting the equipment you already own, collecting and storing what it produces, and analysing it into one clear view that any person on your site can act on.

Our core values

How we work

Six commitments that shape the product, the pricing and every deployment we run.

VALUE 01

Operations first

We start from the process, not the platform. Every feature has to earn its place on a plant floor at 3am, on a noisy network, next to a machine that has been running for twenty years.

VALUE 02

Data belongs to everyone

Information only creates value when the people doing the work can see it. That's why we never charge per user — pricing should never be the reason an operator is kept in the dark.

VALUE 03

Engineering included

We deploy alongside your team rather than handing over a login and wishing you luck. Implementation is done with the customer, not left to them.

VALUE 04

One source of truth

One asset model, one history, one view. We'd rather bring your existing systems together than add another disconnected cloud to the pile.

VALUE 05

Prove it, then commit

Value should be demonstrated in your plant, with your data, before anyone signs a software licence. We back that with how we structure every deployment.

VALUE 06

Trusted with your data

Your process data is commercially sensitive. We treat it that way — certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 by NQA, with segregation options and security designed in, not added later.

How you start

Deploy it, use it, prove it —
then decide

Most data projects stall because software is bought before value is proven. So we turned it around: you invest in the implementation, and the platform is included while you find out whether it works for you.

Months 0–3Implement
  • Minimum 4–5 engineering and training days
  • Machines and meters connected
  • Dashboards built around your use cases
  • Real data flowing from your plant
Months 3–6Validate
  • Teams actively using the system
  • Issues identified early, not after the fact
  • Opportunities surfaced from live data
  • Real-world value demonstrated
Month 6Decide
  • Continue with a full licence, or
  • Walk away with no sunk software cost
  • Either way, you keep the working deployment knowledge
  • A clear, evidenced case for rollout

To be clear: this is not free software and it is not a trial. You pay for the implementation; the platform is included so you can prove value in a live environment before committing.
