About Control Seat
Control Seat was born on the factory floor. Our founders built factory software and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems at Tesla and SpaceX. They saw how much time teams spent connecting separate tools before they could use the data to improve their operations.
We make FactoryOS: the operating system for your factory. Predictive Maintenance, SCADA & HMI, Virtual PLC, and Operations Intelligence share equipment data and history, so analysis, operator screens, and control logic can work together.
FactoryOS is modular. Start with the module your operation needs and add others over time. For equipment monitoring, use wireless sensors, existing plant data, or both. We build software that operators, engineers, and maintenance teams can understand and use in their daily work.
