D8.13 Add-on: factory floor — from CAM to the machines, cell control and SCADA monitoring

Discord (a Discord member, Oct 29): "CAMCraft", CAM + factory control + SCADA in the suite. Owner 2026-10-30: an add-on, not an app (eight apps).

Pieces already in 0.8: CAM with editable posts in PartCraft (LC.15), send G-code to a machine on the network (EG.40, partly), the flow add-on for layout and simulation (SU.858), soft PLC with ladder / structured text (XE.13, partly), live data over OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, BACnet (XE.9, IND.12, partly), plant historian (CH.27).

The add-on ties them into one place: a machine and cell list (from the flow layout), a job queue that posts and sends programs to each machine, machine state read live (OPC UA, MQTT, MTConnect), an operator screen drawn over the layout with values, alarms and trends, history and simple OEE. Reading first; writing to a running machine or PLC stays off by default, behind a per-device switch and a confirm. Not a safety system and never in a safety chain — help says so.
