About TIWANA TECH LLC

TIWANA TECH LLC is an Oregon registered industrial IoT limited liability company located at 859 Belmont Ave SW Ste 110, Albany, OR 97321. Our office facility houses an edge hardware test lab, multi-protocol fieldbus demonstration bay, edge software development workspace and client manufacturing engineering consultation suites, supporting production plant operators throughout Linn, Benton, Polk and Marion counties.

Our technical team includes industrial embedded hardware engineers, PLC protocol conversion developers, edge computing software architects, manufacturing data integration specialists and field installation service technicians. All edge gateway hardware and data processing software comply with IEC industrial automation standards, UL DIN-rail safety ratings, Modbus/Profinet/EtherCAT fieldbus specifications and ISA-95 manufacturing enterprise integration data models.

Unlike generic consumer cloud IT providers unfamiliar with factory floor legacy automation hardware, our core competitive advantage is vertical industrial edge IoT built exclusively for mixed legacy PLC and multi-vendor production equipment environments. We manufacture all rugged DIN rail edge gateways in-house, develop native protocol translation firmware for every major industrial bus standard and deliver fully configured edge data pipelines pre-tested for your plant’s exact machine mix, eliminating third-party white-label gateway compatibility headaches.

Our Albany location enables fast same-day field service deployments to manufacturing campuses in Albany, Corvallis, Salem, Lebanon and Tangent. We offer flexible project pricing including fixed-bid full plant edge IoT integration, hourly industrial automation engineering consulting and multi-year edge gateway maintenance & software update retainer agreements. All proprietary protocol firmware, edge processing logic and production machine operational data collected for manufacturing clients are fully encrypted and protected under formal non-disclosure intellectual property contracts.
