Device Connector
Your entry into the digital transformation
Quickly presentable IoT solutions with our Device Connector: The combination of our functional Device Connector product components with established IoT platforms is the ideal basis for your IoT solution.
In an efficiency-driven world, you need solutions that are easy to integrate and quickly produce presentable results. Our Device Connector is based on established technologies, but comes with a component kit whose modules can be used and integrated regardless of the platform. This means that customer-specific solutions can be implemented more quickly, easily and cost-effectively.
- Devices, machines and systems generate valuable data during their life cycle, providing you as a manufacturer with important insights and competitive advantages.
- Secure and scalable device networking as well as infrastructure to centrally retrieve the data are the basis for this.
- From our decades of experience in the field of IoT, we know that the path to smart devices and the resulting IoT business models can be quite complex and time-consuming.
- IoT platforms are a crucial foundation for this. They are ineffective without technical expertise, a clear vision and a lack of best practices.
The Device Connector is your gateway to a flexible, quickly available and scalable IoT solution. This allows you to hit the ground running in the digital transformation and make your devices, machines and systems smart for the future. – Jonas Kaltenbach, Product Owner Device Connector
Device Connector is solving your challenges
- Have you decided to implement your IoT solution with Microsoft Azure, PTC ThingWorx or Amazon Webservices, but have no/too few resources for a comprehensive implementation?
- Do you want to network your devices as quickly and easily as possible in order to establish presentable IoT solutions?
- Do you possibly want to integrate an additional security gateway to process data locally, set up additional security barriers or support offline operation?
- Would you like to access established provisioning processes to properly and securely harmonize your devices with the cloud?
- Do you want to define your devices at a technical level so that you can create a digital twin easily and simply?
- Do you want to manage your devices via a clear and structured web UI and also analyze data?
- Do you want to define alarms and notifications and anchor them in your service organization?

IoT agent
IoT agent
The agent (or edge software) forms the bridge between the device and the platform and is responsible for establishing the connection and exchanging data. Our agent solution has a modular structure and comes with ready-made, customizable modules that can be easily integrated and adapted to your requirements. Depending on the application scenario, our solution can be integrated directly on your device or on an intermediate IoT Edge Gateway.
Application example:
Your device writes log files that contain valuable information such as temperatures, rotations or error messages.
Our solution:
We integrate an agent solution, with an integrated log file parser, which is individually tailored to your needs and can process the data on-the-edge and transmit it to the platform.
Device Provisioning
Device provisioning
Provisioning processes are used to familiarize the device with a platform. With our solution, we offer you predefined concepts that eliminate the need for manual installations and lengthy registration processes. You can connect your devices to your platform automatically via plug & play or through simple pre-registration.
Application example:
You want your device to automatically synchronize with the platform when it is first commissioned by the customer and grant data exchange.
Our solution:
We offer a wide range of different provisioning processes that are designed to be customized to your individual requirements. Depending on the application scenario, customizations on the agent side also come into play here, which are also covered by our solution.

Digital Twin Builder
Digital Twin Builder
Digital twins form the basis for structuring and modelling your device data and are the key to simulations, process optimization and monetization concepts. With the help of our solution, you can model your individual device types on a technical and simple level and create a digital twin.
Application example:
You are familiar with your devices and understand their structure and functionality. Until now, however, you have had no way of documenting this information centrally in order to expand it in a traceable manner and create a digital twin at the same time.
Our solution:
We offer a digital twin builder that provides you with the basis for documenting device data centrally and setting alarms. At the same time, this can be used as a basis to derive your digital twin on the platform side.
Device Management
Device management
Your devices are already networked, provisioned and recorded as digital twins. Now you need a central platform to visualize and manage your devices. With our solution, we offer a platform with which you can view your devices, including data, in a comprehensive and structured manner.
Application example:
You want to view your devices centrally via a platform and analyze data.
Our solution:
Our solution offers you a web interface with which you can centrally monitor and manage your devices, including data.
Alarms & Notifications
Alarms & notifications
Alarms and notifications are used to quickly and proactively alert your employees (especially service technicians) to current device errors and threshold value exceedances. We offer a platform that allows you to centrally view any problems and errors that occur.
Application example:
You want to detect problems and faults with your devices in the field at an early stage in order to derive targeted measures.
Our solution:
Our solution allows you to define your own threshold values and error messages and view them via a clear web interface.
