Qualification checklist
A deal is qualified when all of these have an owner:
- Named plant and factory code (slug)
- Admin, maintenance, and operator contacts
- Week-one assets (rooms/lines) and sensor types from the Factora taxonomy
- Demo or live? If live, who installs gateways and who holds ingest tokens
- Backhaul: Ethernet vs 4G vs LoRaWAN regional plan (EU868 / US915 / IN865 / AS923 / KE as applicable)
- ERP mode: none / Factora / pack
- Hazardous area? (changes TEKTELIC Ex vs indoor Milesight)
- RTLS in scope? (Blueiot — separate from process sensors)
- Lukteler SKUs: blocked until official datasheets
Proposal one-pager (headings)
- Outcome (visibility / energy / OEE evidence / cold chain) — no fake percentages
- IoT.Factora plant + ops access
- Hardware BOM by vendor (partner quote)
- Ingest method (MQTT topic pattern)
- What is out of scope (DCS, ERP sync, MQTT TLS, native OPC driver)
- Implementation waves (survey, commission, cutover, hypercare)
