Sapphire Automation

Sapphire Automation is an equipment control and automation software provider for tools, material handling, and factory automation. In practice that means connecting machines, sensors and robots to software that controls or monitors them.

The natural audience is manufacturers and operators. They also list Industrial Automation, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Sapphire Automation is based in Fremont, California. More on gosapphire.com.

Things worth asking about: hardware compatibility, uptime, and support. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.
