Shipped • ElectronIx DNC: CNC program transfer and drip-feed for Fanuc machines, over Ethernet (FTP) or RS-232 through serial-to-Ethernet converters. One Windows PC runs about 25 machines with a headless Rust service, OTA updates and Ed25519-signed licences. In production on 23 CNC machines at a precision engineering company in Coimbatore. In beta or development • Tool Store: biometric tool crib. The fingerprint door identifies the person, items are scanned in or out, and an append-only ledger keeps stock on hand and raises low-stock alerts. • ElectronIx Store: online store for industrial electrical hardware that checks a panel builder's order for missing parts, such as ferrules, end sleeves and terminal blocks, before payment. • Link: machine monitoring, diagnostics and PLC program backup, through a small PLC block or a per-machine address map, with a read-only web portal. • Trace: unit traceability. Scan the QR label and see what went into the unit, what was done to it, by whom, on which machine and with what result. • MES: OEE, downtime, work orders, scheduling, quality and preventive maintenance for Indian MSMEs. Rust engineering • ElectronIx DNC is a 6-crate Cargo workspace (about 37,000 lines, 470+ tests): a pure core library and an async Tokio daemon that runs as a Windows service, with an embedded FTP server, SQLite through SQLx and Argon2 logins. • Drip-feed streams programs larger than the CNC memory: a reader task tracks XON/XOFF and the writer never sends past a stop. • Tested against a virtual Fanuc with injected field faults. GitHub Actions CI runs fmt, clippy -D warnings and the tests; releases go out as drafts first. • Link and HQ: Axum APIs, PostgreSQL, Leptos and Docker. • Training: completed Ardan Labs' Ultimate Rust course.
