## Product Details

### Magna Platform
Magna is the "Connected Factory OS". It solves the data fragmentation problem by connecting to legacy and modern machines alike (`Modbus`, `OPC-UA`, `Siemens S7`, `Allen Bradley`, etc.) and unifying that data into a single namespace.

### HORUS AI Suite
Built on top of Magna, HORUS applies intelligence to the data.
1. **Insight**: Dashboards, OEE calculation, Shift reporting.
2. **Optimize**: Recommendation engine for setpoints and process parameters.
3. **Predict**: Machine Learning models for anomaly detection and failure prediction.
