Empower Your Company with I4 Innovation
Our Platform is easy to use and still more powerful than 90% of the Industry 4.0 platforms. Just as iOS or Android are powerful and easy to use at the same time.
What exactly can our I4 platform do?
Yes, there are many buzzwords in Industry 4.0 and a jungle of solutions and approaches. However, in our view, there is a simple common denominator:
Functions need to be executed on the machine.
And this requirement alone brings immense complexity.
Structures for OTA (Over-The-Air updates), remote access, access management, fleet management, tenant management, data management, message routing, real-time capabilities, etc., need to be in place, no matter what function is ultimately required on the machine.
And these are exactly the things our generic Industry 4.0 platform must offer. The actual functions, such as performance optimization through machine sensors or whether machines communicate with each other, are handled by the "apps" that are created and managed on our platform.
Just like GitHub manages code, regardless of what the code does, or ®Word manages documents, regardless of their content.
At our platform, we have made it our goal to simplify these complex aspects for users, so that an automation engineer can independently implement concrete solutions for their problem without needing advanced programming skills.
For example, "If the furnace in Hall 2 is too hot, I want to receive a message on my phone."
We sometimes see that, in collaboration with Shop Floor IT, open-source tools like Grafana and InfluxDB are cobbled together to create a quick fix, but it’s often not "clean" or "scalable."
This is what we aim to change with our industry 4 platform.
Integration is a major requirement and the platform is open to integrate into existing setups. It has an API, that can be used to control aspects from other parts of the clients architecture.
Edge Apps are just Docker images at the core where you are completely free to interface with any ERP, MES, Cloud provider and also with any protocol down to the machines and sensors.
Why is it free?
We believe that core functionalities should be available to everyone because the real value lies in the apps themselves, similar to Android and iOS.
That’s why we offer all these core functions free of charge, indefinitely. This allows even students in their master's projects or interns in companies to create visible value immediately.
Does this approach seem convincing to you, or do you have doubts about it?
The platform is designed similarly to iOS or Android: extremely simple and user-friendly on the user side, but on the technology and infrastructure side, it’s a solid foundation for developers and large projects.
Our mission is to bring this approach to the industrial context as well. Many strategic topics, such as data governance, access management, and deployment processes, are platform issues that don’t need to be solved from scratch every time.
But when it comes to data integration, we have a highly sophisticated and scalable approach.
For each app within a fleet, a dedicated data infrastructure with a message routing cluster and database is automatically initialized. This is where data collection and aggregation from the devices take place, forming the foundation for dashboards.
Thanks to this approach, the deployment of apps across tenants is highly scalable.
As you are surely aware, building and operating such a data architecture for many devices and tenants is no small task, and it can certainly be done using tools from Amazon and other providers.
Our mission is to offer exactly that with "more ease" and user-friendliness.
It must be simple to register a new machine. It must be simple to share data between customer and manufacturer. It must be simple to offer remote service, and it must be simple to deliver new functionalities. Consistently simple.
So, if you are interested, please connect with me, follow me, or send me a message and I look forward to connecting with you soon.

🌟 What is the USP of our Industry 4 Platform?
The USP of our i4 platform is, that the user owns the data generated by the app, not the app developer. This means that users have full access to their data and can create custom dashboards directly on the I4 platform—regardless of whether the app comes from Festo, Siemens or any other provider.
We have the world's only industrial app marketplace on the level of the Android/iOS App Store, offering the same user-friendliness along with fully integrated usage tracking and payment solutions.
The industry 4 platform enables you to act much faster and more agile in your industry, receive positive customer feedback, differentiate yourself from the competition and increase your chances of recurring revenue.
