THE REALITY

Plain is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.

The IoT solution Plain Concepts built streams every device reading into Azure, but ERP still posts from overnight files, maintenance reacts late, and AI models stall because telemetry never leaves the Azure deployment contextualised with asset and work-order data.

The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.

What Zapier + iPaaS reach

App-to-app. Useful, until it isn't.

Connectors for Plain, Slack + a thousand other cloud apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:

ERP that needs production, energy and asset runtime posted against the right equipment
CMMS/EAM that should raise work orders from device alarms and runtime hours
Historian or data lake needing contextualised telemetry from the Plain Concepts build for AI
MES and OEE systems needing live machine and downtime signals off the line

What Rayven reaches

ERP, MES, historians, sensors + AI. One platform.

The integration platform built for what other tools can't (or won't) reach - plus an AI data fabric, MCP server + app builder layered on top.

Plain + every ERP, MES and historian system
MQTT, OPC-UA, REST, cloud IoT, historians + custom-built connectors.
Files, legacy SQL, FTP + custom-built connectors
Real-time bidirectional sync, tier-aware + rate-limit-safe
AI Data Fabric, MCP, automation + custom apps included

WHAT YOU CAN BUILD

Plain + Rayven: AI, automation + tools that reach every system you run.

Plain Concepts deployment (device telemetry) → ERP

Runtime + output post to ERP

Live device readings, production counts and runtime stream from the Plain Concepts Azure deployment into ERP against the right asset and cost centre. Planning and finance see actual output in real-time, not a morning report.

Booked revenue vs Plain closed-won this month?

$2.41M booked, $2.39M closed-won. Two deals awaiting invoice - flagged.

Plain Concepts deployment alarms → CMMS

Alarms raise work orders automatically

A device alarm or threshold breach in the Plain Concepts deployment raises a work order in CMMS with asset, device and timestamp attached. Runtime hours drive preventive schedules, so maintenance is condition-based rather than calendar-based.

47 events processed. 0 errors, 2 retries, all current.

Plain Concepts deployment → Data warehouse + AI

Telemetry, AI-ready

Every device reading and event from the Plain Concepts build streams into Rayven's Industrial AI Data Fabric, contextualised with asset and maintenance data. AI agents query live equipment health and downtime across every site.

Plain Concepts deployment → Cross-site dashboards

Every site in one view

Rayven rolls up device data from every Plain Concepts deployment into cross-site dashboards and field apps. Operations compares plants live, without a separate console per deployment or a manual export.

Governed device-config writeback

Where you scope it, Rayven writes approved configuration values back to the Plain Concepts deployment under full audit and role-based control. Rayven never issues device commands and leaves the control and safety loop untouched.

BEYOND INTEGRATION

Integration is the start with Rayven.
Here's what comes with it.

Rayven isn't just a Plain connector. It's the operational software platform underneath - so once Plain is connected, four more capabilities come online by default.

AI-ready data layer (AI Data Fabric)

Plain data joined with ERP, IoT + legacy - contextualised, unified and structured so AI models, agents and tools can use it without ETL prep work.
Learn more →

Live AI access (Rayven MCP)

Claude, ChatGPT + Gemini get live, governed access to Plain and every other connected system. Your AI stops guessing - cites real Plain records + numbers.
Learn more →

Automation + AI agents

Workflows + AI agents act on Plain data without human intervention - escalate at-risk accounts, trigger operational work, auto-update forecasts, draft customer comms.
Learn more →

Custom apps + portals

Unified customer portals, ops dashboards, mobile field apps, partner portals - built on top of integrated Plain data. No separate BI tool, no separate dev stack.
Learn more →

All on top of your existing stack. No rip + replace. Plain stays Plain. Rayven works on what you've already built. Specifically tuned for Azure IoT Hub-based Plain Concepts + Smart Concepts IoT deployments.

What is Plain Concepts integration?

Plain Concepts integration is the practice of connecting the custom Azure-based IoT solution Plain Concepts built you to the rest of your operation - ERP, CMMS, historians and AI - so device telemetry is usable everywhere it matters. Rayven delivers it as part of an Industrial AI Data Fabric, reading data alongside the platform, never running as your IoT platform.

How does Rayven connect a Plain Concepts deployment to other systems?

Because Plain Concepts builds on Microsoft Azure IoT infrastructure, Rayven reads the deployment the same way it reads Microsoft Azure IoT - over MQTT/AMQP through Azure IoT Hub, plus any custom Smart Concepts IoT APIs, through the Rayven integration layer. Device events and telemetry flow as first-class integration events in real-time, bidirectionally where scoped. See the Rayven Platform.

What systems can Rayven connect a Plain Concepts deployment to?

Rayven connects a Plain Concepts deployment to 1,228+ systems including ERP, CMMS, historians, data warehouses and AI, plus sibling IoT platforms like Microsoft Azure IoT. Custom and legacy connections are part of done-for-you delivery.

Does Rayven control or replace the Plain Concepts deployment?

No. Rayven reads and unifies the deployment's telemetry and sits alongside it; it is not an IoT platform and does not replace what Plain Concepts built. Supervised device-config writeback runs only where you scope it, under audit and role-based control. Rayven never issues device commands and leaves the control and safety loop untouched. See the Rayven Platform.

How long does Plain Concepts integration take with Rayven?

Most Plain Concepts integrations go live in 2-12 weeks. A single device-to-ERP or alarm-to-CMMS flow runs in 2-3 weeks; a full Industrial AI Data Fabric with predictive maintenance runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery.

What are the technical specifics of Plain Concepts integration with Rayven?

Rayven connects to a Plain Concepts deployment through the Azure IoT Hub layer it runs on - MQTT and AMQP endpoints, Device Provisioning Service and any custom Smart Concepts IoT REST APIs - authenticated with Azure AD. Device-to-cloud telemetry streams in real-time; historical data is read through the API and batched so large backfills never throttle the deployment. Events, device state and metadata are preserved with field-level mapping into ERP, CMMS and AI targets. Per-project scope is rolled up to one cross-site model via Rayven's asset-master layer. Because every deployment is a bespoke build, Rayven's implementation team confirms the exact API surface with Plain Concepts (or the customer) during scoping. Where scoped, supervised configuration writeback runs under role-based control and full audit logging; Rayven never issues device commands and leaves the control and safety loop untouched. Validated against Azure IoT Hub-based Plain Concepts deployments.
