BigMachine is an AI-native framework that turns physical hardware and equipment into first-class digital citizens. It provides a clear architecture that allows humans and agents to interact with physical devices.

This is done by standardizing every component — from 30-year-old industrial devices to modern cloud APIs — into a unified, type-safe architecture. The logic of a component is automatically turned into the UIs and APIs, allowing you to instantly modernize assets and orchestrate complex, distributed processes.

It provides adapters and translations for various AI agents, allowing them to interact seamlessly with physical devices.

Main goals

• Build complex, distributed processes in simple, easy to maintin steps.
• Modernize existing assets instantly without replacing expensive hardware.
• Provide a "plug-and-play" interfaces for AI to interact with hardware safely and predictably.

Vibe-Coding Ready

BigMachine is designed for building software in era of AI. By enforcing strict architectural boundaries, you can start on your own or use AI to "vibe-code" new hardware adapters from a prompt or a technical manual. The framework acts as a guideline and safety net: write the core logic, and BigMachine ensures the integration remains stable, validated, and type-safe.

Architecture

Each machine is defined in an isolated module and environment. The translation layer creates a bridge to other machines, the interface and a unified API.

Get started

pnpm i @big-machine/factory @big-machine/machine_abb-irb-2400 @big-machine/machine_button     

const button = new Button({ id: "button" });     

const robot = new AbbRobot({ id: "robot", ip: "192.168.1.100", port: "/dev/sda1" });     

button.on("press", () => robot.move({ x: 400, y: 300 }))     

button.on("release", () => robot.move({ x: 100, y: 200 }))     

factory.register([button, robot])     

factory.serve({ port: 3000 })     

Factory is running!
