Build Your Thinking Factory

Start with one sensor or a full floor. Pick your hardware, add what you want to see, and we'll handle the rest. No guesswork. No oversell.

01

The base

Every Thinking Factory starts with the Factory Vision device. It's the brain on site. It captures your sensor data and streams it to the platform. One per chain, included on every build.

Pick your IO-Link master

This is where your sensors plug in. Factory Vision takes one port, so a 4-port master leaves 3 open and an 8-port leaves 7. Going with more ports now means room to add sensors later without new hardware.

Choose your sensors

Pick what you want to watch. Each sensor type tells a different part of your operation's story. Add as many as you need and we'll handle the hardware math.

Vibration sensor (IFM VVB305)

Vibration sensor IFM VVB305

Catches the early tremor before a motor, pump, or bearing fails. Silent stress, made visible.
