Industrial Software & Developer Tools

Software for the shop floor. Tools for the desktop.

I’m Nate Marshall. I build manufacturing software connecting shop-floor machines (OPC UA, MQTT, MES) to operational data pipelines. Outside the plant, I build developer tools like Plantwire and craft theme-matched desktop wallpapers at Omarchy Studio.

Active Workbench

Systems & Projects

Focused tools and systems bridging industrial operations, real-time telemetry, and modern web architecture.

Plantwire

A unified intelligence feed for industrial automation and manufacturing software

Industrial technology evolves fast across PLCs, SCADA, MES, robotics, and edge computing, but relevant developments are fragmented across vendor press releases, standards bodies, and niche forums. Plantwire continuously monitors industrial tech sources, groups related announcements into stories, and surfaces architectural shifts without promotional noise.

01 Story Clustering

Groups multi-source reporting into coherent stories so major OEM updates and acquisitions are simple to track.

02 Domain Taxonomy

Curated tags for OT/IT convergence, OPC UA, MQTT Sparkplug, ISA-95 models, and edge computing.

03 Signal Over Noise

Filters low-value marketing copy to highlight technical breakthroughs and real-world industrial implementations.

Background & Practice

Where manufacturing meets modern software

I’m Nate, a software developer focused on how software helps people understand, monitor, and improve manufacturing operations. Modern plants produce vast volumes of telemetry, but bridging raw machine protocols with intuitive, reliable web systems is where the real value is unlocked.

My work centers on manufacturing execution systems (MES), shop-floor data architecture, and connecting OT hardware (OPC UA, MQTT, PLCs) with web applications. I’m also interested in where AI and intelligent clustering can help engineers make quicker sense of industrial operations.

Outside of factory systems, I enjoy building personal productivity software, curating terminal and desktop environments, and sharing creative side projects like the Omarchy wallpaper collection.
