mobile IoT service packages and hardware
With ifm’s digital services and flexible contract models, you can ensure a connected and future-proof machine infrastructure. Whether it’s remote access, data management or condition monitoring – choose exactly the features you need.
Full remote control – with the right technologies
Secure and efficient remote access to machines is essential today for minimising downtime, optimising maintenance processes and boosting the efficiency of your fleet. With ifm’s remote access solutions, we offer technologies that are tailored precisely to your needs.
Time saving: A service technician can begin accurate fault diagnostics straight away without having to be on site, and can carry out maintenance work remotely.
Cost efficiency: Costly on-site visits are no longer required, reducing travel expenses. In addition, proactive maintenance maximises the availability of your machines.
Flexibility: A wide range of access options that can be seamlessly integrated into your existing infrastructure.
Sustainability: Reducing the need for on-site maintenance improves the ecological footprint.
- Choose the remote access technology that best meets your needs and maximise the efficiency of your machine fleet.
Efficient and secure
With ifm remoteConnect, you get a comprehensive, Ethernet-based solution for secure remote access to your machines and systems. This innovative platform allows you to easily manage and configure your machines, while also transforming the way service and maintenance work is carried out.
Secure access: An end-to-end encrypted connection provides reliable protection against unauthorised access. Centralised cloud management enables secure remote access, while sensitive data remains within the organisation. This is how you meet the highest cybersecurity standards.
Quick and easy operation: The intuitive user interface makes operation easy and efficient, even without extensive IT knowledge. Seamless integration with existing systems and clearly structured navigation ensure immediate productivity – including direct access to on-demand support, troubleshooting and software updates.
Higher speed: WireGuard technology enables exceptionally fast data transfer for time-sensitive applications and large volumes of data.
Comprehensive data transfer: With remoteConnect, you can efficiently transfer large data sets – ideal for file transfers, software updates and complex configuration changes.
Real-time visualisation: Integrated dashboards and graphical interfaces provide clear insights into the condition of your machines and equipment – anytime, anywhere.
Scalability and future-proofing: The platform is easily scalable and provides the perfect foundation for long-term digital transformation.
Increased efficiency: Minimised on-site visits, shorter response times and maximum machine availability.

Tailored to your mobile fleet
Our data management service packages offer everything you need to efficiently, securely and scalably use your machine data, including data retrieval, cloud hosting and integration with analytics platforms via APIs.
Custom cloud storage: Benefit from cloud data hosting in different tiers, tailored to your usage frequency.
Whether you receive just a few signals a day or require high-frequency machine monitoring – we have the right contract to suit every need.
Flexible connectivity – with or without mobile connectivity: Our flexible contract models are ideal for sites with Ethernet connections or mobile machines in remote areas. This gives you maximum flexibility when using your IoT solutions.
Centralised data management: Access your systems from anywhere, without the need for additional IT infrastructure. With centralised access and optimised data flows, processes can be continuously improved and resources deployed in a targeted manner.
Machine management: Efficient management and easy configuration of your entire fleet of machines.
Visualisation of machine data: A clear overview of process and machine data with customisable widgets.
Ready to connect: Thanks to support for APIs such as the REST API and the AEMP API, data relating to the machine fleet can be easily and flexibly retrieved from the cloud and forwarded to other systems for processing.
Cybersecurity: Our solutions always comply with the latest security standards, ensuring that your data and systems are optimally protected at all times.
Whether you simply want to retrieve selected data points or implement comprehensive, continuous machine monitoring, our data management packages offer the right solution for every need.
- Activate your contracts directly within the mobile IoT suite and conveniently manage your entire fleet and centrally from the platform.
- Using the mobile IoT suite, you can create a project and easily identify the appropriate contract.
Choose the right data package now
The contracts differ in the number of data points that can be transmitted from the machine to the cloud each month. The following formula can be used to calculate the appropriate contract size:
- Number of machine signals × transmission frequency = data points per month
Data point = a single transmission of a machine signal
Machine signal = a process value from a mobile machine
