This modular, scalable IIoT platform adapts to your needs at the touch of a button. Simply log in to instantly keep an eye on systems, machines and plants,
as well as record and evaluate data.

Monitor
facilities

Review all relevant KPIs : OEE, availability, performance, quality. And many more.

Cover energy management

For all your production sites, even for complex organizational and cost center structures.

Operate, control and monitor

Easily manage decentrally distributed machines and plants.

Record and evaluate data

From your distributed measuring stations, all in one place.

What are the strengths of the i4connected IIoT platform?

Modular

i4connected offers modules for condition monitoring, SCADA and energy management. These modules can be combined into individual Smart Services as required.

Up to date

i4connected is connected online to an Ewon device, measuring systems or sensors and updates all KPIs almost in real-time. This gives you a quick overview at all times.

Integrated

i4connected combines business data from your back-end systems, such as ERP systems, MES or CMMS, with real-time data from the process and stored business rules. You benefit from an optimally integrated solution.

Intuitive

Each user can easily put together his personal user interface and complete his tasks in the shortest possible time. Thus, i4connected makes daily work easier for your employees.

Flexible

Thanks to a modern architecture, defined and documented interfaces, and a modular concept, i4connected allows easy integration of extensions. This allows you to react flexibly to changes at any time.

Connected

i4connected can be operated in a private or public cloud. For maximum performance, scalability, and availability, processes can be distributed across different nodes and clusters.
