A2 is a fully-managed data platform tailored to machine builders and manufacturers.
Our company’s purpose is to offer production intelligence solutions to manufacturers - nothing else. This means A2 is fine-tuned to the challenges and opportunities of manufacturing production.
Our mission since 2020 has been to build the best production intelligence platform for manufacturers. Today, A2 is integrated into manufacturing sites located in over 30 countries. A2’s data collection system incorporates learnings from integrating into countless OT and IT environments, across the foundry, automotive, polymer processing, and wheel casting verticals.
Decades of piecemeal data governance and digitisation have left manufacturers in a fragmented OT and IT landscape. A2 continuously and intelligently centralises data from a wide variety of Scada, PLC, database, historian, and other data source types. Data is standardised into high performance time series and metadata stores. Operators, managers, and engineers can securely view, query, and transform this unified representation of your operations thanks to A2’s powerful Web interface and API. With sophisticated user management features and support for single-sign-on (SSO), you remain in control of who can access your sensitive data and associated IP.
A2 is built to support advanced applications including predictive, prescriptive, and generative AI. Normalised and unified data structures, high performance time series data storage and retrieval, and a modular architecture are some of the ingredients that make this possible.
The platform includes 24/7 infrastructure monitoring, ensuring reliable and secure operation.
“ Advancing Norican Group’s digital strategy requires a true partnership, and we have found that with DataProphet. The collaboration succeeds by combining Norican’s manufacturing expertise and customer insights with DataProphet’s white-label product development capability. This powerful combination ensures the platform delivers increasing value to our customers.. ”

With A2 you'll reap the benefits of a cutting-edge, production-ready platform, without incurring the complexities of product development, maintenance, infrastructure monitoring, and platform management. Leave that to us.
Your customers trust your specialised expertise. Extend that trust to your digital offering. As a white label platform, Dataprophet puts your brand first. Sophisticated templating tools enable you to standardise factory data streams and dashboards into reusable libraries for your respective machine configurations.
Together with Norican Group we've fine-tuned a partnership model that places machine builders at the centre of our product development process and gives our partners the option to fast-track their most pressing development roadmap priorities.
A2 is built to scale. Provisioning new cloud tenants and Edge devices takes minutes, not days. Build your own library of templates to standardise data streams, factory machines, stream processing pipelines, and dashboards, all from a fully-centralised configuration system.
Security is the top priority in every aspect of A2 data ingestion, storage, and access.
Edge devices are monitored and hardened to protect your data against physical theft, tampering and other common security threats. Unlike other IoT hardware which is often plagued by out-of-date vulnerable software with no path to upgrade, Edge devices are kept up-to-date to continuously ensure your infrastructure is not exposed to known threats. All data and configuration is encrypted at rest and in transit, with no exceptions.
Once your data arrives in the cloud, we employ multiple layers of security to protect your data. You’re entirely in control of who gets to access your data, and we integrate with your pre-existing identity providers to ensure user access management is a seamless process. We employ encryption at rest across all our infrastructure, and we make no compromise in terms of where we store our data, by only using reputable cloud providers. We also have multiple backup strategies in place with robust 24/7 monitoring to ensure your data remains secure.
We submit our systems to regular pentesting by independent third-party security experts like TÜV to ensure our platform remains up-to-date with modern security standards like ISO-27001.
