(Follow-up to: “Observing Baseline vs Anomalous Modbus Traffic – A Beginner’s ICS/OT Security Lab”) Introduction In my previous lab, I focused on a foundational skill in ICS/OT security operations: establishing a baseline and identifying anomalous pr...

Introduction In support of my recent research into ICS/OT Security Operations, I wanted to set up a small, controlled environment where I could observe normal industrial network behavior identify meaningful deviations reason about that activity us...

This technical post focuses on the experience layer of the CNC intelligence stack. After establishing correlation logic (Blog 15), predictive signals (Blog 17), and the performance intelligence layer (Blog 16), Blog 19 introduces the interface archit...

Blog 16 continues the engineering progression of my CNC data stack.After building the event correlation mechanism in Blog 15, this post focuses on the next abstraction layer: Performance Intelligence. While pipelines deliver events, and correlation p...

1. Introduction — Moving From Diagnostics to Prognostics ⚙️📡 After building the cycle analytics layer (Blog 12), the shift engine (Blog 13), and the event correlation engine (Blog 14), the CNC system had reached real-time operational intelligence. B...

One of the biggest insights I’ve gained while developing my CNC Data Monitoring & OEE Tracking System is that real-time automation isn’t just about reading machine data — it’s about understanding it. Hashnode readers know this well:Data without intel...

How I mapped the full signal pathway—from CNC → PLC → Modbus → Node-RED → n8n → Express.js → MongoDB → Web App Introduction Until this stage of the project, most of my effort was spent learning individual tools: PLC basics, Modbus registers, Node-RE...
