Makini is a unified API platform for industrial systems integration. We provide connectivity to over 2,000 ERP, CMMS, and WMS systems through a single, standardized API. Instead of building separate integrations for each system, you connect once to Makini and gain access to all supported platforms. This approach transforms integration projects that typically cost tens of thousands of dollars and take months into a manageable operational expense with deployment times of 1-2 weeks.
When customers change their system credentials, the existing Makini connection will lose access and workflows will begin failing with authentication errors. Makini provides webhook notifications when connections require reauthorization, allowing you to proactively notify customers. Customers can reconnect by logging into the system through Makini's authentication flow again, which issues a new API token. The reconnection process takes only a few minutes. Best practice is to implement connection health monitoring and automated alerts when connections require attention, so you can address issues before they impact operations.
Industrial systems are often heavily customized, and Makini is built to handle this. For reading data, Makini can access virtually any field or custom table in connected systems. Through the connection settings interface, you can specify custom fields, tables, or entities to include in API responses. These show up alongside standard fields in the unified model. For custom objects not in our default model, you can request them through the interface and they'll be available immediately. For writing data, customization support varies by system but covers most common scenarios. During implementation, we work with you to identify required customizations and ensure they're properly configured before going live.
500-level errors indicate issues on Makini's side or with the connected system. These are typically temporary and retrying the request after a brief delay often succeeds. Implement exponential backoff for retries—wait a few seconds, then progressively longer intervals. If errors persist beyond a few retries, check the Makini status page for service disruptions. The error may also stem from the connected system experiencing issues rather than Makini itself. For persistent 500 errors, contact support with the request ID from the error response. Include details about when the error started, which operations are affected, and which connections are impacted. Our support team can quickly identify whether the issue is systemic or connection-specific.
