With io-key, you will opt right from the beginning for an easy-to-handle, yet powerful form of process and plant monitoring. A power supply and an available GSM network – this is all that io-key requires to transmit the data of the connected IO-Link sensors to the cloud. There is no need for complex connection to the company network or to a controller.
The clear dashboard allows the user to set limit values for the connected sensors with just a few mouse clicks. If these limit values are exceeded, the user will be alerted by email or text message. Moreover, all kinds of data can be summarised and exported automatically in the form or reports.
Whether in a dusty environment or outdoors, thanks to protection rating IP65, io-key is the perfect solution for all kinds of applications. Thanks to two sensor connections, a great variety of monitoring scenarios can be implemented. ifm has many different IO-Link sensors in store for this purpose.
Find the data tariff that fits to your needs:
With io-key, you can keep an eye on the proper pumping function of remote or mobile pumping stations at any time. An alarm function immediately reports deviations from the preset value so that the required pumping capacity can be quickly restored.
Feed silos, tanks for printing ink or concrete additives have one thing in common: they should be refilled before they are completely empty. Suppliers who equip their customer's tanks with io-key can guarantee reliable, uninterrupted product supply. Once a defined level has been reached, logistics can automatically initiate refilling. A great improvement in service quality!
Fans in decentralised cold stores or storage facilities can be monitored via io-key as well as remote motors or pumps, for example, in automated agriculture. Damaged bearings, unbalance and similar signs of imminent machine damage will be detected by vibration sensors and reported to the central dashboard via io-key. This prevents unplanned interruption of work processes while the product quality will be maintained thanks to constant storage conditions.
Up until now it was very time-consuming and expensive to equip remote system parts for monitoring with sensors in order to be able to analyze the signals afterwards.
Product manager Michael Strauss shows how easily and quickly you can do this with the io-Key.
