Why MapexOS?

Not an IoT platform.
A universal event platform.
MapexOS doesn't see devices or sensors — it sees Assets.
Any source. Any protocol. One abstraction.

Modern systems rarely fail because data can’t be produced. They fail because events are fragmented across protocols, vendors, payload formats, and operational systems—and every new source becomes a new integration project.

That creates a familiar trap:

Data comes from dozens of sources, each speaking a different language — and every new integration becomes a project.

MapexOS solves this by standardizing how events are received, validated, transformed, routed, governed, stored, and automated—so teams can scale faster, with lower cost and higher reliability.

The real cost of fragmented data and integrations

Complexity grows exponentially when every integration is custom:

• Slow onboarding: each new source, gateway, vendor, or protocol requires new code
• Operational risk: inconsistent payloads break pipelines, rules, and dashboards
• Delayed reaction: issues are detected after impact happens
• Low reuse: the same effort is repeated across customers, sites, and projects
• Hard to scale: increasing volume increases instability and maintenance cost

MapexOS exists to break this pattern with a reusable, standardized platform core.

Why this matters even more now (AI needs a foundation)

Today, everyone talks about AI and “access to data”. But most organizations still lack the foundation: a platform that can consistently:

• ingest events from multiple sources and protocols
• normalize payloads and semantics
• route and govern events with traceability
• organize data for search and discovery

Without this, AI becomes just another layer on top of chaos.

MapexOS was created to fill that gap.

AI-ready by design (planned)

Planned capability (not in v1.0.0): AI-ready data layers via catalogs + Iceberg.
We are designing MapexOS to produce queryable, governed datasets using HTTP-based catalogs and modern table formats such as Iceberg.
This will enable AI systems to reliably read, query, and learn from standardized events.

This roadmap direction is intentional: AI should operate on clean, governed, searchable events — not raw, fragmented telemetry.

The vision: ingestion → processing → search → intelligence

MapexOS is not only about data ingestion. The vision is a complete platform for:

1. Data ingestion
   Connect any source to the same event pipeline without coupling producers and consumers.

2. Processing
   Validate, transform, enrich, and apply business logic safely and consistently.

3. Search
   Organize, index, and query events across heterogeneous payloads as one searchable system.

4. AI integration (planned)
   Enable AI to operate on clean, queryable, contextualized data — from insights to detection and automation.

Business outcomes you should expect

1) Faster integration with less engineering effort

MapexOS uses Asset Templates to convert new sources into standard events using the same pipeline: decode → validate → transform

Instead of building one-off integrations, you create reusable templates that scale across devices, systems, and organizations.

2) Consistent governance across customers and sites

MapexOS was designed for enterprise structure: Vendor → Customer → Site → Building → Floor → Zone

This enables clean multi-tenant boundaries, scoped permissions, and predictable operations at scale.

3) Actionable events, not passive telemetry

With routing, rules, and triggers, events can drive real operations:

• notifications and incident workflows
• downstream delivery (analytics, DWH, integrations)
• business logic and alerting

4) Lower total cost of ownership (TCO)

Standardized payloads, reusable templates, and fan-out routing reduce:

• integration cost
• rework
• support overhead
• operational instability

What makes MapexOS different

Asset-first abstraction (universal modeling)

MapexOS models the world as Assets, not “devices”.

This enables the same platform to handle sensors, gateways, machines, APIs, applications, and operational systems — using one abstraction.

Template-driven integration (built to scale)

Integration becomes a first-class concept:

• reusable templates
• versioned scripts
• dynamic fields for searching and indexing

EVA dynamic fields (universal search across any payload)

MapexOS extracts dynamic fields using the EVA pattern: fieldName → fieldType → payloadPath

This enables consistent querying and discovery even when payload schemas differ across sources.

Enterprise-grade execution for scriptable integrations

MapexOS executes JavaScript with performance and security patterns that large platforms require:

• V8 isolate sandboxing
• worker threads
• bytecode caching
• 4-level cache pipeline (RAM → NVMe → MinIO/S3 → compile)

This enables flexibility without compromising safety and latency.

Event fan-out routing as a platform primitive

A single event can be routed to multiple internal and external destinations by configuration — without coupling producers to consumers.

When MapexOS is a great fit

MapexOS is ideal when you need:

• high-throughput ingestion (industrial or enterprise environments)
• fast onboarding for new sources/vendors
• consistent normalization across heterogeneous payloads
• secure automation (rules + triggers)
• scalable governance across many customers/sites
• data organized for search and AI-readiness (planned)
