ifm IO-Link Solution: Simple, Transparent, Reliable, and Low-cost
Manufacturing plants worldwide are increasingly relying on high-performance data and information technology to enhance their overall equipment efficiency.
Why use an IO-Link solution?
IO-Link enabled sensors and devices offer the most cost-effective approach to obtaining additional process data from the machine level.
This helps you gain local control and provides you with real insights into machine performance. The more information a business has, the better it can implement cost savings, improve OEE, and reduce energy usage, directly impacting profitability. The great fact is that you may already have IO link devices on plant. It will look something like this:
How do we make a difference?
We will help you save money
With over 50 years of experience supplying automation solutions to various industries, ifm has acquired the knowledge to create effective IO-link ecosystems. These ecosystems integrate sensors, IO-Link devices, and industrial fieldbus modules to provide a comprehensive machine solution, ultimately leading to measurable cost savings for our customers.

These results were achieved by customers who previously used standard parallel wiring of analog sensors. The improvements were primarily driven by significantly reduced installation times, the need for fewer components, and easier integration into the controller.
We will make it easier for you
With Moneo configure, IO-Link devices and masters can be easily configured with just a few clicks.
How Moneo Configure works?
Once your IO-Link network is integrated into Moneo, values cease to exist as separate pieces of information and are instead available for analysis within minutes, providing immediate insights into machine performance.
For example, you visualise and monitor the level of every feed hopper in the plant on a single dashboard without hours of coding.
If the plant configuration changes, you can simply drag the new data into the dashboard. In case of critical events, such as the level running low or the vibration on a fan rotor dangerously increasing, Moneo will immediately alert and inform you via email while opening a maintenance ticket. This allows you to schedule maintenance promptly or initiate manual refill processes to keep things moving.
