Remote access to mobile machines

Remote maintenance planning

ifm’s own “remoteConnect” solution for accessing machines from a distance allows users to connect to machines via a mobile network, view machine data and analyse the current maintenance needs or a specific damage pattern.

End-to-end encryption protects the communication channel from unauthorised access and enables secure data transfer.

Effective planning, less time required

By using “remoteConnect”, users benefit from more effective maintenance processes. Maintenance teams can be dispatched directly to the site with a specific work order and the appropriate spare parts for the job. This reduces the amount of labour required on site and the time it takes to get the machine back up and running. In the case of software customisation, the time and cost of travel is completely eliminated.

Simple retrofitting, easy handling

The mobile IoT gateway required for remote access can be easily connected to the machine’s controller. The add-on is just as easy to use. It integrates seamlessly with mobile IoT. With just a few clicks, the software is installed and the connection to the machine is established.
