Connect every system, from the plant floor to the back office.
One manifest-driven connector layer for the business apps and the machines your operation already runs on. Read what matters, write only through governance.
A connector in Tokoaido is not a brittle point-to-point script. Every source system is described by a typed manifest that declares its objects, how they map into one shared model, its auth, and its compliance envelope. A factory turns that manifest into a working connector, so a new system is a description, not a rewrite.
What you get.
CRM, ERP, HRIS, ITSM, databases and REST APIs sit beside OPC UA, MQTT Sparkplug, Modbus and MTConnect machines, normalized to one model.
Point the generator at an API's documentation and it produces a working, governed connector, with the object mapping, auth and write surface inferred.
A live HTTP and OAuth connector turns any web API into a usable source, so the long tail of systems is never a blocker.
When an upstream schema drifts, the connector detects it, proposes a patch, and can roll back, instead of silently breaking a pipeline.
Reads flow freely; every write is a governed action, proposed and approved at the right risk tier. The plant-floor safety boundary is never addressable.
Three moves.
A typed manifest declares objects, auth, mapping and data classes. Business apps are pull-API connectors; machines are streaming or edge connectors with an ISA-95 asset model.
The manifest is instantiated into a working connector with mock data for instant exploration and a live path for production.
Drift detection, versioning and rollback keep the connector working as upstream systems change.
The part competitors leave out.
- Manifest plus factory means a new connector is a description, not weeks of engineering.
- One layer spans IT systems and OT machines, so a plant-floor signal can drive a back-office action.
- The safety boundary is structural: a direct PLC or Safety Instrumented System write is not expressible.
Frequently asked.
The catalog ships with dozens of connectors across IT and OT, and connector-from-docs plus the live HTTP connector cover the long tail. It is built to grow.
Tokoaido reads what a use case needs and keeps the governed model. Deployment options include self-hosted and air-gapped so data can stay on systems you own.
OT connectors carry a safety block: reads are permitted, any write is routed through MES or SCADA with approval, and the Safety Instrumented System is never addressable.
