TrakHound: Build Smarter Industrial Apps, The Open-Source Framework for Seamless IIoT Integration
TrakHound is an open-source, .NET 8-powered framework for building scalable MES, ERP, CMMS, and QMS systems. Enable seamless data interoperability across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments with Blazor-based flexibility. Perfect for industrial enterprises and IoT innovators.
Looking to build powerful industrial applications, whether it’s a custom MES, ERP, CMMS, or QMS system, without getting bogged down by complex integrations?
Checkout TrakHound, the open-source application framework designed to make industrial software smarter, simpler, and more connected.
Built on .NET 8 and powered by Blazor, TrakHound gives developers and enterprise teams the tools they need to create flexible, scalable solutions that work seamlessly across environments, whether you're running in the cloud, on-premise, or using a hybrid setup.
But here’s what really sets TrakHound apart: true data interoperability. In today’s industrial world, systems often speak different languages.
TrakHound bridges that gap. It allows machines, sensors, legacy systems, and modern apps to communicate effortlessly, turning fragmented data into actionable insights.
Think of it like a universal translator for your factory floor, warehouse, or production line. No more silos. No more headaches. Just smooth, real-time data flow across your entire operation.
And because TrakHound is package-based, deploying new features or updating your system is fast, safe, and repeatable, it is perfect for agile development and continuous improvement.
Whether you’re building a smart manufacturing dashboard, automating quality checks, tracking maintenance schedules, or managing supply chain workflows, TrakHound gives you the foundation to do it all, faster, smarter, and with full control.
Built for Developers, Designed for Industry
You don’t need to reinvent the wheel. TrakHound lets you develop using the tools you already love:
- Visual Studio or VS Code, work in your favorite IDE
- .NET 8 with full access to NuGet for powerful third-party libraries
- Git integration, version control, collaboration, and CI/CD made simple
- Package-based deployment, easily share, update, and reuse modules across projects
It’s like LEGO for industrial software: snap together components, test them fast, and deploy with confidence.
Everything You Need, In One Flexible Framework
TrakHound gives you the building blocks to create robust industrial apps, no matter how small or complex:
- Web UIs: Build beautiful, responsive dashboards and interfaces using modern web tech, accessible from any browser, on any device
- APIs: Create custom endpoints tailored to your application logic, so data flows exactly where it needs to go
- Functions: Run short-lived tasks, think alerts, calculations, or one-off data processing
- Services: Keep long-running processes alive, ideal for maintaining connections to PLCs, databases, or cloud platforms
- Entities: The secret sauce. TrakHound turns messy, schema-heavy data from machines, sensors, or legacy systems into clean, reusable “Entities.” No matter the source, they all play nicely together, because in TrakHound, data speaks the same language.
Supercharge Your Workflow with the Admin Interface
The TrakHound Admin UI is your command center. From here, you can:
- Install and manage packages
- Explore and configure Apps, APIs, Functions, and Services
- View, monitor, and organize your Entities
- Secure access with authentication, or disable it entirely if you’re in a trusted environment
It’s intuitive, lightweight, and built for both developers and operations teams.
And yes, even if you’re not building an industrial app, TrakHound works for any use case. Whether it’s logistics tracking, inventory management, or even internal business tools, this framework scales with your vision.
TrakHound Architecture
TrakHound comes with a configurable architecture that creates an abstraction layer between applications and infrastructure. Routing can be configured as needed whether that is to implement more of a monolith or more of a distributed architecture.
