The Gap

Operations still run on disconnected tools

Without an approved communication platform for OT environments, critical conversations move to personal devices outside IT control and audit trails. CometChat Air keeps every conversation secure, compliant, and on your infrastructure.

Fast in the front office. Unreachable on the floor.

Slack and Teams are multi-tenant and cloud-hosted, often simply unreachable from segmented or air-gapped OT/plant-floor networks, leaving line workers and control-room staff without a sanctioned tool at all.

Convenient. Outside any audit trail.

WhatsApp on the shop floor or a personal phone for a shift handoff gets the job done, but moves safety- and process-relevant conversations outside any audit trail, exactly when accountability matters most during an incident.

Inside the plant. Disconnected from the office.

Technically inside the plant network, but slow, hard to search, and disconnected from engineering and corporate systems, creating silos between the floor and the office.

The Solution: CometChat Air

One system. Floor to front office.

Real-time messaging, voice, video and AI that deploys entirely inside your own environment, including segmented or air-gapped OT networks, so plant floor, engineering, and corporate teams share one governed, real-time system instead of three disconnected ones.

Trusted Infrastructure

Air-Gapped by Default

Sealed by default. Connected only when you choose.

  • The core is isolated

    Plant floor messaging, calls, and engineering files stay inside your facility network. Nothing about your process or designs leaves unless you say so.

  • Add-ons are opt-in

    AI shift summaries, notifications, and translation may reach out. Turn them on only if you want them.

  • Governed end to end

    Audit logs and blocked screenshots on engineering drawings, so security can show exactly what happened on the line.

Features

Everything the plant needs. Nothing leaves the firm.

Secure manufacturing messaging

Line- and plant-based channels with threads, file sharing, and searchable history for shift handoffs, incidents, and engineering changes.

Production coordination calling

Voice and video for engineering escalations, supplier reviews, and multi-site production coordination, hosted on your own infrastructure.

AI for manufacturing operations

AI agents for shift summaries, maintenance Q&A, and engineering knowledge search, using models that never train on your data

Air-gapped manufacturing messaging

Zero outbound internet required for segmented OT networks and isolated manufacturing environments.

Messaging on your infrastructure

Deploy on bare metal, VMs, Docker, Kubernetes, or your own AWS, GCP, or Azure account with customer-managed, shared, or CometChat-managed operations.
