Turn your scale and machine data into reports you can actually use.

I build custom software that captures live data from industrial scales, PLCs, and hardware — and turns it into clean dashboards, reporting, and analytics built around how your operation actually runs. One‑on‑one, start to finish.

14+ years in field service & industrial software  ยท  Based in the U.S.  ยท  Remote & on-site

The Problem

Your data is trapped on the floor.

Your scales, indicators, and equipment generate numbers all day — weights, counts, throughput, batches. But getting that data into a form you can use usually means:

You don’t need another giant off-the-shelf system. You need software that fits the equipment you already own and the way you already work.

What I Do

Custom software, built around your hardware.

๐Ÿ“Š

Live Scale & Weighing Data Integration

Capture weight, count, and batch data straight from your scale indicators, counting systems, and production devices and pipe it into reporting and dashboards in real time.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Reporting & Analytics Dashboards

Custom dashboards and automated reports showing throughput, inventory, production, and trends — replacing manual spreadsheets and end-of-day guesswork.

๐Ÿ”Œ

Industrial Hardware & PLC Integration

Connect PLCs, sensors, and edge devices to databases and applications. Ladder logic, data collection, and system integration so your machines talk to your software.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Custom Applications, Built to Spec

Need a tool that doesn’t exist yet? I design, build, test, document, and install custom applications — desktop, web, or mobile — for your specific workflow.

๐Ÿค

One-on-One Project Delivery

You work directly with me from first call to final install. No account managers, no handoffs, no offshore team. I gather the requirements, write the code, and stand behind it.

Who I Help

Operations that live and die by accurate measurement.

If you weigh it, count it, or measure it — and then have to report on it — that’s exactly what I build for.

How It Works

A clear path from problem to solution.

1

Free Discovery Call

We talk through your hardware, your current process, and what you wish you could see. 20 minutes, no pitch, no obligation.

2

Scope & Proposal

I map out exactly what I’ll build, the timeline, and a fixed, transparent price — before you commit a dollar to development.

3

Build & Demo

I develop in stages and show you working software along the way, so there are no surprises at the end.

4

Install & Support

I deploy it (remote or on-site), document it, train your team, and stay available to support it.

About

Hi, I’m Matthew Edge.

I’ve spent 14+ years in the field — troubleshooting, installing, and integrating real industrial systems — and the last several years as a software engineer in the industrial weighing industry, building and deploying automation software for scale and weighing systems.

I know both sides of the wire. I’ve configured the hardware and written the software that makes it useful. I work hands-on with industrial automation platforms, ladder logic and PLCs, and I build applications in VB.NET, SQL, Python, and JavaScript.

I hold an Associate of Applied Science in Information Technology (4.0 GPA) with a focus on application development, plus certificates in Mechatronics Engineering Technology, Web Design, and Business Support.

Most software people don’t understand industrial hardware. Most hardware people don’t write software. I do both — and I work with you directly to build the exact tool your operation needs.
