From machine to cloud
It’s because we produce our own hardware, that we can ensure the highest standards in terms of security, reliability and usability.
Integrated remote access
Manage your machines and users in one platform for both remote access and your service lifecycle management.
You’re one click away from your PLC, HMI or robot over VPN, VNC or HTTP.
Give a specific person, or a group of people, access to a specific functionality.
Always connect via the fastest path and a server with enough capacity.
Start small. Learn fast.
There’s no need for big upfront investments and lengthy software development projects, thanks to our full fledged and low code IIoT platform.
Open and expandable
You’ll never run into the limitations of a standard software product with IXON’s open API, the ability for you to develop custom web applications and Marketplace apps.
Marketplace apps

Frequently asked questions
What is IIoT?
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the application of Internet of Things technology in industrial applications, including manufacturing. Connected devices, sensors and machine data arising from this are used to get insights in machine performance to reduce machine downtime and improve processes and efficiency.
The benefits of Industrial IoT
- Remote diagnostics and troubleshooting, reducing the need for on-site visits.
- Targeted service, since the engineer can bring the right tools and parts when he needs to visit on-site
- Enhanced machine performance and uptime through real-time monitoring and preventive (or even predictive) maintenance.
- Data-driven decision-making leading to optimized operations and cost savings.
IIoT use cases for machine builders
Machine builders can utilize IIoT for different purposes, such as providing quicker remote service and data logging and visualization for performance insights. In addition, an IIoT platform can enable machine builders to enhance their service models.
Read our customer’s stories on how they implement IIoT with IXON.
What is the difference between IoT and IIoT?
While IoT (Internet of Things) includes both consumer and industrial applications, such as dishwashers and cars, IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) specifically focuses on industrial and manufacturing environments.
What added value does the IIoT bring to machine builders?
IIoT provides machine builders with a couple of things, such as:
- Increased machine uptime through remote monitoring and faster troubleshooting.
- Improved customer satisfaction by offering quicker remote support and diagnostics.
- Enhanced service capabilities through advanced data insights resulting in competitive advantage.
How do I connect my machines to the Industrial IoT platform?
Machines can be connected to the IXON Cloud using edge gateways provided by IXON. These gateways ensure secure and straightforward connectivity, allowing data from the machines to be securely transferred to the cloud for monitoring, analysis, and management. IXON offers the IXrouter3 and the SecureEdge Pro gateway.
