An open-source manufacturing ERP/MES/QMS
Self-hosted open-source ERP/MES/QMS for manufacturers who can't put CUI in a vendor cloud
Carbon bundles ERP, MRP, MES and QMS into one system on a Postgres database you host — on-prem, in your own VPC, or fully air-gapped. The Community edition is open source under AGPL-3.0, so you can audit the code before deploying it; Enterprise adds white-glove deployment plus the SSP, POA&M and SPRS documents a CMMC assessor will ask for. The whole stack — app, API, MCP server and Postgres — ships in Docker, from a single laptop to a multi-region cluster.
What holds up
- +Community edition is open source (AGPL-3.0) — audit the code before it touches your data
- +Runs fully on-prem or air-gapped — BOMs, travelers and costs never leave your network
- +Same Docker-based stack scales from a single laptop to a multi-region cluster
Mind the limits
- −CMMC paperwork (SSP, POA&M, SPRS) is an Enterprise perk, not in the free Community edition
- −Self-hosting means you own the ops — network, keys, backups and upgrades are on you
