25,000 sensors from over 350 manufacturers to the cloud in less than one minute. With genuine plug & play thanks to IO-Link: Complete solution with IIoT - gateway & cloud access starting at a few of Euros/ month. It is sold by our partners ifm and autosen.
The io-key is design master piece created by RoundSolutions Labs.
It consists of a gateway with an integrated SIM and a powerful cloud environment "Made in Germany". With it, the data of all common IO-Link sensors can be quickly and easily sent to the cloud.
There, the data can be visualised, analysed, monitored and processed online – a conceivably uncomplicated, self-sufficient and scalable solution for your entry into IIoT.
Initial setup is automated and takes place in the shortest possible time. After just 60 seconds, sensor data from machines, systems and applications can be used permanently and – depending on the transmission interval – in real time in the cloud for IIoT applications. Using the standardised IO-Link protocol, io-key recognises connected sensors automatically and independently of the manufacturer or device type.
io-key uses the communication technology LTE Cat-M1 for data transmission. They enable uninterrupted data transmission even under unfavourable spatial conditions – for example in the basement or in areas with weak mobile phone coverage.
io-key collects and transmits sensor data for further processing in an individual cloud and software environment. A new feature is that it can also execute alarms and switching operations directly at the machine independently and in real time. This makes it possible to create complete end-to-end applications for IIoT without a complex and expensive infrastructure – the use of a PLC is no longer necessary.
If the tank reaches a critical filling level, the level sensor registers this and an alarm is immediately triggered at io-key, which is indicated by the message "Tank system: Critical filling level reached. Valve opened" in the autosen.cloud.
At the same time, a switching output is activated at the edge, which opens the electric valve to initiate the discharge of water and activates the red status indicator. When the tank is almost empty, the valve is closed by io-key and the green LED lights up again. The flow sensor reports the flow rate in the cloud and notifies the production management about this process.
The io-key edge switching and alarm function is conveniently controlled from an office without the need for any programming. All the necessary parameters are defined via a graphical interface in the autosen.cloud from anywhere in the world, stored locally at the edge and executed independently of the wireless connection.
Why do I need an IoT Gateway?
I need the industrial IoT gateway io-key by ifm to connect my industrial machines and systems to the Internet of Things. The io-key gateway collects machine and sensor data from sensors and transmits the data to the cloud for monitoring, analysis and predictive maintenance. This boosts my productivity, reduces downtime and increases my company's profitability.
