TypedChrono

About TypedChrono

Building the future of time series data management with type-safe SDKs, industrial IoT integration, and open source transparency.

Our Mission

To democratize industrial IoT and time series data management by providing an open source, type-safe SDK that brings modern TypeScript developer experience to proven time series databases (AWS Timestream, TimescaleDB, InfluxDB) with comprehensive industrial protocol support.

Our Vision

A world where every developer, engineer, and organization can access enterprise-grade time series infrastructure without vendor lock-in, with compile-time safety that catches errors before they reach production, and with seamless integration into industrial systems.

The Complete Platform

TypedChrono (formerly SchoBase) is the foundation of a three-layer industrial data platform that takes you from raw sensor data to business intelligence.

TypedChrono

Layer 1: Time Series Data

Raw sensor data collection with type-safe ingestion from PLCs, OPC UA, Modbus, and MQTT.

TypedContext

Layer 2: ISA-95 Context

Transform raw data into manufacturing context using ISA-95 equipment hierarchy.

TypedCore

Layer 3: Business State

Aggregate contextualized data into OEE, KPIs, and business intelligence.

Unified Type-Safe Architecture

All three layers share the same TypeScript-first philosophy with compile-time and runtime validation, ensuring data quality from sensor to boardroom.

How TypedChrono Started

TypedChrono was born from frustration. Our founding team worked in industrial automation and IoT, constantly battling with existing time series databases that were either:

  • Too expensive for small-to-medium deployments
  • Lacking type safety, leading to runtime errors in production
  • Missing native support for industrial protocols (OPC UA, Modbus, DNP3)
  • Difficult to deploy on-premise in air-gapped networks

We realized the industry needed a type-safe SDK that brought modern developer experience (like Convex's type-safe patterns) to proven time series databases, while being fully open source and designed for industrial use cases from day one.

In 2024, TypedChrono was released to the world as an MIT-licensed open source project.

Core Values

Open Source First

MIT-licensed core with transparent development. No vendor lock-in, no hidden fees, full source code access for everyone.

Type Safety

Catch errors at compile-time, not in production. Full TypeScript integration with Zod runtime validation for data integrity.

Industrial Focus

Built for manufacturing, energy, robotics, and critical infrastructure. Native support for OPC UA, Modbus, DNP3, MQTT, and SCADA systems.

Community Driven

Every feature, bug fix, and improvement is shaped by real user feedback. We build what the community needs.

Security & Compliance

Enterprise-grade security with SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, and IEC 62443 compliance built in from the start.

Global Accessibility

Cloud deployment in 12+ regions, on-premise options for air-gapped networks, edge gateway support for remote locations.

Technology Stack

TypedChrono is built on proven, modern technologies designed for performance, reliability, and developer experience.

Supported Database Backends

  • AWS Timestream: Managed cloud time series database with serverless scaling (SDK integration planned)
  • TimescaleDB (PostgreSQL): Open source time series extension - fully implemented adapter
  • InfluxDB: Popular open source time series platform (SDK integration planned)

Type Safety & Validation

  • TypeScript: Full compile-time type checking for queries and schema definitions
  • Zod: Runtime validation to catch invalid sensor data and protocol errors
  • Convex-inspired patterns: Validator builder for schema definitions with type inference

Industrial Protocols

  • OPC UA: Native client/server for manufacturing and process automation
  • Modbus TCP/RTU: Built-in support for legacy industrial devices
  • MQTT: Eclipse Mosquitto integration for IoT sensor networks

Deployment & Infrastructure

  • Docker + Kubernetes: Containerized deployment for cloud and on-premise
  • Terraform: Infrastructure as code for automated provisioning
  • Grafana: Pre-built dashboards for monitoring and visualization

Open Source Commitment

TypedChrono is released under the MIT License, one of the most permissive open source licenses available. This means:

  • Free to use for personal, commercial, or enterprise projects
  • Full source code access with no restrictions
  • Permission to modify, distribute, and sublicense
  • No vendor lock-in or forced upgrades

We believe infrastructure software should be transparent, auditable, and owned by the community. Every line of code is public, every decision is documented, and every user has a voice in the project's future.
