I built an industrial OS - here's what 33 years on the plant floor taught me about software

The Problem Nobody Was Solving I spent 33 years doing every job on the plant floor. Operator, supervisor, manager — I've done it all, hands-on. And for 33 years I watched the same thing happen over and over: plants spending a fortune on enterprise software that the people actually running the facility couldn't stand using and would op out. Until now. What I Built Trier OS is a full-stack, open-source plant operations platform. Not a SaaS. Not a subscription. A self-hosted, fully air-gapped system built specifically for heavy industry. Here's what's under the hood: Built-in Monaco IDE — authorized operators can write, sandbox, and hot-reload code directly inside the running production app Deterministic Simulation Engine — replays historical plant event logs against your code changes before deploying. Mathematical proof it won't break the line. Friction Cost Engine — calculates the exact financial cost of UI changes before they ship 3D GIS Mapping — Cesium-powered spatial intelligence to
