Plating Process Management Software

Full control of your
plating line,
in real time.

PlatingLog replaces paper logbooks, spreadsheets and guesswork with a digital system that monitors your tanks, schedules your lab work, and keeps every process audit-ready.

The problem we solve

Paper logs don't scale.
Spreadsheets break.

Most plating shops run on paper binders and shared Excel files. That works — until a key employee is out, an auditor arrives, or a batch ships with unknown chemistry history.

📄

Lost paper records

Analysis logs get wet, torn, or misfiled. Reconstructing a batch's chemistry history for an audit becomes hours of manual work.

Missed maintenance windows

Filter changes, carbon treatments, and equipment calibrations get skipped when the reminder is a sticky note on a whiteboard.

📉

Out-of-spec product ships

Without real-time sensor data, an out-of-range bath can run for hours. Chemistry excursions become yield losses and customer escapes.

🔒

Knowledge trapped in one person

The operator who knows when Copper "smells off" retires. Everything they carried in their head walks out the door with them.


What PlatingLog does

Everything your line needs,
nothing it doesn't.

Built specifically for metal finishing — not adapted from generic manufacturing software. No modules you'll never use.

📡

Live sensor monitoring

Connect ESP32, Raspberry Pi, or PLC devices to push real-time pH, temperature, concentration, and flow readings directly into each tank's record.

🧪

Lab analysis tracking

Schedule titrations, log results, and automatically flag out-of-spec readings. OOS analyses require a documented corrective cause before proceeding.

🔧

Preventive maintenance

Maintenance tasks trigger on elapsed time, accumulated throughput (SQF), calendar date, or any combination. Never miss a filter change again.

📋

Work order traveler

Digital travelers follow each job through your line — from pre-clean to final rinse. Every step signed off, timestamped, and retrievable in seconds.

📊

Reports & SPC

Weekly chemistry reports, compliance percentages, excursion counts, and trend charts. Ready to export for your customer or a Nadcap auditor.

👥

Role-based access

Operators see only their line. Lab techs log analyses. Engineers configure limits. Managers review reports. Each role sees exactly what they need.


Your instruments,
your data.

Each sensor gets a unique write key. Your device POSTs a reading with that key — no login, no OAuth, no complexity. The reading lands in PlatingLog in milliseconds.

Works with any device that can make an HTTP request: ESP32, Raspberry Pi, Siemens PLC, Allen-Bradley, custom PCB.

ESP32 / Arduino Raspberry Pi Siemens PLC Allen-Bradley Any HTTP client
ESP32 — sensor reading (every 5 min) C++
// Configured in PlatingLog Setup → Sensor
const char* HOST = "http://platinglog.mycompany.com";
const char* KEY  = "aBcD1234...writeKey";

void sendReading(float value) {
  HTTPClient http;
  http.begin(String(HOST) + "/api/ingest/sensor");
  http.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");

  String body = "{\\"key\\":"
    + "\\"" + String(KEY) + "\\"
    + ",\\"value\\":" + String(value, 3) + "}";

  int code = http.POST(body); // → 201 OK
  http.end();
}

Licensing

Simple annual pricing.
No surprises.

PlatingLog runs on your own server — you own the data. Annual license covers updates, support, and any new features released during the period.
