Mobile IoT hardware

mobile IoT gateways from ifm – the link between your machines and the digital future

The mobile IoT gateways from ifm are key components for a smart, connected and future-ready machine fleet. They connect your mobile machines directly to the digital world and create the basis for efficient processes – from remote access to fleet management to predictive maintenance.
As part of the ifm ecosystem, they are fully compatible with controllers, sensors and software, enabling fast and secure implementation of your digitalisation initiatives.

Intelligent communication between machine and cloud

The mobile IoT gateways enable stable and secure real-time communication – even under the harshest operating conditions. They collect machine and process data, transmit it to the cloud-based IoT software platform and receive commands such as configuration adjustments or software updates over the air. This optimises maintenance cycles, reduces downtime and keeps your fleet continuously up to date.

Remote maintenance made easy with remoteConnect

The remoteConnect technology enables secure remote access to your machines – worldwide and without complex IT integration. Service interventions can thus be minimised, diagnostics performed remotely and software adjustments carried out in real time.

Your fleet management with ecologOne

ecologOne not only enables secure over-the-air updates, but also the targeted addressing of individual system components in the ifm ecosystem. Machines can therefore be flexibly adapted, software versions kept up to date and maintenance operations planned proactively.

Functional highlights for connected machines

• Reliable wireless data exchange for mobile machines
• Real-time diagnostics via CODESYS programming system
• Machine management via the mobile IoT Suite
• Display and processing of machine data in the data portal
• Remote access via remoteConnect
• Data management via ecologOne

Robust hardware for extreme requirements

The mobile IoT devices are specifically designed for use in vehicles and mobile machines. Thanks to their high IP67 protection rating, E1 approval, EMC resistance as well as shock and vibration resistance, they are ready for any challenge – from construction sites to harvesting operations.

Key features at a glance:

• High mechanical robustness for mobile applications
• Extensive interfaces (e.g. CAN, Ethernet, mobile networks, position tracking)
• Flexible mounting in the vehicle or in control cabinets
• Reliable connectivity even in remote operating areas

Scalable. Secure. Future-orientated.

As part of a modular overall solution, the mobile IoT gateways can be seamlessly integrated into ifm’s system landscape. Together with the powerful controllers, robust HMIs and precise sensors, they form a perfectly coordinated overall system – from data acquisition and processing through to visualisation and cloud connectivity.
This system coherence enables straightforward integration, maximum efficiency and full scalability – whether connecting individual machines or digitally managing entire fleets.
