The Product

Industrial intelligence
in a compact unit.

OnIt Core is a 180×120mm enclosure housing a compute module, custom carrier PCB, and everything your industrial environment needs — Ethernet, USB, GPIO, RTC, fan control, and LED status strips. It mounts on a DIN rail and runs on USB-C PD.

Hardware

Compact aluminium enclosure. Three-slab stacked design with blue LED status strips. USB-C PD input, e-fuse protection, reverse polarity guard.

Nexus Runtime

Our proprietary 5-layer runtime — kernel, hardware abstraction, state persistence, module orchestration, application surface. Built for systems that must never stop.

Open Modules

Deploy monitoring, control, diagnostics, and custom modules. Browser-based dashboard, WebSocket live data, GPIO, fan control, DS3231 RTC — out of the box.

Runtime Architecture

Nexus

The software layer that makes OnIt Core tick. Five layers from bare metal to browser — composable, persistent, hardware-aware.

L5Surface
Application Layer
Browser-based dashboards, HMIs, diagnostic tools, and control interfaces — running live on the Nexus runtime via WebSocket.
L4Logic
Module Orchestration
Module lifecycle, dependency resolution, inter-module messaging, and graceful degradation. Modules start, stop, and restart independently.
L3State
State Persistence
Distributed state, configuration persistence, session recovery, and cross-module data sharing. Your system survives restarts.
L2Bridge
Hardware Abstraction
Protocol translation, GPIO mapping, serial bus management, and device discovery. Nexus speaks to hardware so modules never have to.
L1Core
Runtime Kernel
Process isolation, memory management, watchdog timers, and fault recovery. Designed for 24/7 industrial uptime from the ground up.

FAQ

Common questions.

What compute does OnIt Core use?

OnIt Core is built around a high-performance compute module on a custom carrier PCB — designed for industrial environments. Full compute specs will be published with the final campaign materials.

What is Nexus exactly?

Nexus is our proprietary 5-layer runtime architecture. It runs as a systemd service, exposes a browser-based dashboard via WebSocket, and manages all hardware I/O, module lifecycle, and state persistence. It's the software that ships pre-installed on every OnIt Core unit.

Can I write my own modules?

Yes. The module system is designed to be open — Standard tier backers get the full module development SDK. Enterprise backers also get direct engineering support to build custom modules for their specific use case.

Does it require cloud connectivity?

No. OnIt Core is fully self-hosted and air-gap capable. The Nexus runtime runs entirely on the unit — no cloud dependency for core functionality. Cloud sync and remote management are optional extensions.

When does it ship?

Estimated delivery is communicated in the Kickstarter campaign timeline. Units are manufactured after the campaign closes. Backers will receive regular production updates throughout.
