Where generic software
stops working.
Cloud analytics and off-the-shelf IT software struggle when physical safety, patient privacy or autonomy are on the line. These are the six domains we build for, and what changes in each.
Healthcare & Clinical Medical Devices
Hospital Wi-Fi is not a clinical instrument
A bedside monitor, an infusion pump or a surgical display can't lean on hospital Wi-Fi. Send raw biometric waveforms to a third-party server and you take on regulatory liability under HIPAA and GDPR. Worse, ingress latency delays the alarm during a rapid decompensation.
What the bedside monitor does instead
SciBor puts an in-process columnar database on the monitor itself. Streams land in local RAM, and rolling National Early Warning Scores (NEWS2) update in sub-microsecond time through embedded DBSP. The waveforms stay on the device. Only cryptographically signed clinical alerts cross the hospital LAN, and only when authorized.
| TELEMETRY LAYER | EXECUTION LOCATION | PRIVACY & COMPLIANCE POSTURE |
|---|---|---|
| High-Rate Waveforms (ECG/PPG) | Local Device RAM Ring Buffer | Zero cloud egress; evaluated in-process |
| Rolling Vital Indices (NEWS2) | DBSP Materialized View | Calculated locally in < 1μs; zero WAN dependency |
| Clinical Summary Alerts | Local Hospital LAN / EHR Bridge | Authenticated HL7/FHIR delta sync only |
Robotics & Autonomous Edge Systems
When the warehouse eats the signal
AMRs, warehouse fleets and robotic manipulators work in metal-dense buildings and underground tunnels where wireless coverage is erratic. Tie their telemetry and predictive analytics to a cloud service, and the robot stops — or navigates blind — the moment that link drops.
Querying its own history, on the robot
SciBor embeds a high-throughput columnar store and stream processor inside the robot controller process. Joint torque, motor thermal gradients and kinematic positions land in pre-allocated RAM buffers. From there the robot queries its own rolling history in microseconds, adjusting velocity envelopes and making preventative stops with no uplink at all.
Web, Desktop & Mobile Software (SciBor Light)
You're paying twice for your own telemetry
Drop in Google Analytics, Segment, or PostHog and you've pulled 150KB+ of code you don't control into your bundle. It fights your UI thread for CPU. And more than 40%+ of desktop users never run it at all — ad-blockers and Safari Intelligent Tracking Prevention see to that. Then the invoice arrives: per-event pricing that charges you more for growing.
One linked library instead of four script tags
SciBor Light is a dependency-free stream processor compiled into your application binary or web bundle. Telemetry batches into Apache Arrow columnar tables in RAM, off the main thread. The client computes its own aggregations, there are no third-party script tags left to block, and compressed columnar batches flush straight to your own cloud storage.
import { SciBorClient } from '@macrodataware/scibor-light';
const telemetry = new SciBorClient({
bufferCapacityBytes: 2 * 1024 * 1024, // 2MB pre-allocated ring buffer
flushIntervalMs: 5000,
storageDestination: 'https://telemetry.yourdomain.internal/v1/arrow-sync',
});
// Record structured telemetry with zero main-thread UI allocation
telemetry.record('session_latency', {
route: '/dashboard/analytics',
renderDurationMs: 8.4,
memoryUsedMb: 42.1,
});Electric Power Transmission & Substations
Four milliseconds to be right
Substations are absorbing more volatility as renewable generation comes online, and their digital relays are a target for command injection. One false trip command can cascade through the busbars. An unverified phase drift can do the same — regional blackout inside seconds.
Where the trip decision is made
RooTrust evaluates synchrophasor PMU measurements (IEEE C37.118) at 120 frames per second inside the relay microkernel. GOOSE messages come off raw Ethernet in under 4ms, and every trip command is checked against the physical substation topology before a breaker coil energizes.
| CAPABILITY | CONVENTIONAL RELAYS | ROOTRUST MICROKERNEL |
|---|---|---|
| GOOSE Message Handling | IP software stack; 10–25ms delay | Raw Ethernet zero-copy; < 4ms deterministic |
| Actuator Safety Envelope | Software credential validation only | Physical topology interlocks + HSM signatures |
| Memory Allocation | Dynamic C/C++ heap allocation | #![no_std] Rust; zero heap allocation on hot path |
Crude & Refined Products Pipelines
Why a valve must not close quickly
A transcontinental pipeline runs for thousands of kilometers through terrain with nobody in it. Its remote block valves talk over an intermittent satellite link. Slam one shut too fast and the fluid's kinetic energy becomes an acoustic pressure surge — water hammer — strong enough to rupture a weld.
Slew rates, enforced in firmware
RooTrust runs microkernels directly on the block valve RTUs. The firmware enforces a maximum valve slew rate calculated from Joukowsky's equation (ΔP = ρ · c · Δv). When the satellite link fails, edge nodes read their own acoustic sensors and pressure gradients and perform a controlled mechanical shut-in on spring-return actuators, with no upstream oversight.
Municipal Water & Wastewater Works
When the SCADA password is the only lock
Water treatment plants run on tight budgets and legacy Modbus PLCs. They are also a target — intruders go after the chemical feeders, trying to override sodium hydroxide or chlorine dosing. You're staking drinking water on a password.
A ceiling the pump cannot cross
RooTrust enforces parameter limits at the RTU output layer. Chemical metering pump stroke lengths and pulse-width frequencies are bounded in firmware. Compromise the admin account or the SCADA HMI workstation and the chemical feed still cannot exceed its statutory drinking water safety limit — because the limit is not in the software.
| CHEMICAL FEEDER | STATUTORY SAFETY BOUND | ROOTRUST HARDWARE ENFORCEMENT |
|---|---|---|
| Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda) | Target pH 7.2 – 7.8 (Max 8.5) | Pump stroke locked to 10% maximum travel |
| Chlorine / Sodium Hypochlorite | Max Residual ≤ 4.0 mg/L | PWM frequency clamped at microkernel register boundary |
| Coagulant (Alum / Ferric) | Turbidity < 0.3 NTU | Dosing rate tied to raw water flowmeter pulse invariant |
