Connect your plant floor to the cloud

Lebron Industrial Operations & AI designs turnkey automation architectures for industrial and enterprise systems. Built in Parsippany-Troy Hills, deployed globally.

DATA BRIDGES

Your plant floor already has the data. Let's get it to the cloud.

We design PLC-to-cloud MQTT bridges that pull live uptime and performance data from legacy hardware into secure dashboards. No rip-and-replace. No downtime.

Legacy PLC bridging

We connect Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and Modbus controllers to cloud analytics without expensive equipment overhauls.

MQTT pipelines

Lightweight, secure MQTT data streams carry plant floor telemetry to your dashboards in near real time.

SCADA integration

Your existing SCADA systems get unified with cloud data layers, giving operators one clear operational picture.

Uptime analytics

Turn raw machine data into uptime trends and performance metrics that surface issues before they stop production.

Executive dashboards

Clean, readable views of plant performance for leadership, without requiring anyone to learn a new tool.

AUTOMATION BUILDS

ERP and CRM automation that ships as working code

We deliver more than spreadsheets and connectors. You get cloud-based ERP and CRM architecture, webhook schemas, and LLM data pipelines built to run.

ERP and CRM architecture

Disconnected data becomes one cloud-based system. We build the architecture in Airtable and Monday.com so teams work from the same source.

Custom webhook schemas

Your systems talk without manual exports. We design webhook schemas that push inventory and customer data between tools in real time.

LLM data pipelines

Raw records become structured context for AI. We build ETL pipelines that prepare your enterprise data for large language model workflows.

Inventory and sync engines

Stock levels and order records stay aligned across platforms. Our sync engine keeps ERP and CRM data consistent without nightly manual checks.

After the MQTT bridge went live, we finally had live uptime data from the Allen-Bradley line. No more manual polling, no more blind spots. It just runs.

The engineering team estimated a year to replace the legacy SCADA setup. Lebron had us on a new data pipeline in weeks. The dashboards paid for the engagement.

The custom ERP sync replaced a spreadsheet process that consumed two days a month. Now inventory just flows into the CRM. Fewer errors, faster decisions.

FAQ

Legacy PLC to cloud FAQ

Answers on Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and Modbus compatibility, MQTT security, and phased plant-floor timelines.

Will this work with older PLCs and legacy hardware?

PLC-to-cloud bridges connect Allen-Bradley, Siemens, and Modbus hardware with an MQTT layer, so you keep the plant floor and skip a full equipment overhaul.

How is plant data secured during and after deployment?

Secure MQTT bridges send plant-floor data one way to your dashboard, with controlled access and an architecture built to stay auditable from day one.

What does a typical implementation timeline look like?

Each deployment starts with a technical assessment of your current setup, then a clear phased plan so you know what happens and when.

Do we need to replace existing machinery?

No. We bridge legacy machinery to modern cloud workflows and connect to what you already run, so you do not buy equipment you do not need.

What happens to current workflows during the transition?

Rollout is phased so the data bridge sits beside existing operations. Analytics stream in while the plant keeps running as usual.

Who has access to data once it is in the cloud?

Access is defined in your architecture. The pipeline feeds the right dashboards, you set access levels, and you keep ownership of the information.
