Writing for people who ship hardware
Integrations, revision control, and what AI agents change about both. Written for engineers, not for the algorithm — though we won't pretend we don't want you to find it.
How to connect ION Factory OS to Xero: options in 2026
Four realistic ways to get ION Factory OS and Xero talking — manual exports, iPaaS middleware, a custom API integration, and an MCP server — with the honest trade-offs of each.
What is an MCP server, explained for hardware teams
MCP (Model Context Protocol) in plain engineering terms: what an MCP server is, how it differs from an API integration, and what it means for teams running PLM, ERP and MES systems.
ECO to PO: why change orders break your procurement data
The revision-mismatch failure mode every hardware team hits: how engineering change orders silently invalidate open purchase orders, why point-to-point syncs don't catch it, and what does.
We're onboarding 5 design partners
Hardware teams running ION, Duro or Xero: get white-glove setup, direct access to the founder, and locked-in pricing — in exchange for honest feedback.
