Get started now with moneo

Our no-code IIoT platform seamlessly connects to industrial sensors, machines, and controllers, providing a unified view of your production environment. It enables fast, secure integration with your OT and IT systems, offering real-time insights into machine health, process parameters, and environmental conditions. Designed for scalability, it grows with your data needs while maintaining the highest security standards.

Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS) 

Advantages of moneo IIoT Core Cloud 

  • Scalability & flexibility: Cloud solutions scale easily with demand, avoiding major upfront costs. They support additions like vibration sensors to IO-Link setups, as well as io-key or wireless options for remote areas—no new cabling required. Hybrid connectivity (cellular, Wi-Fi, LAN) adds further flexibility.
  • Cost efficiency: With lower initial costs, cloud services like moneo ($1,800/year for 500 info points) are more economical than building and maintaining on-premise systems. Over time, the cost of developing and expanding Ethernet networks to remote areas far exceeds the annual cloud subscription.
  • Real-time monitoring: Cloud solutions enable real-time monitoring, which is crucial for critical assets. ifm's moneo platform allows for real-time monitoring, providing immediate insights and alerts.
  • Ease of integration: Cloud platforms like moneo integrate easily with systems like SCADA and SAP, enabling automated work requests, notifications, and inventory management.
  • Future-proofing: Cloud solutions receive continuous updates and new features, such as the upcoming Asset Health module—exclusive to the cloud version.
  • Reduced IT burden: With maintenance, updates, and security handled by the provider, cloud solutions free up IT teams to focus on strategic priorities.

Intelligent data aggregation with
the moneo edgeGateway

The moneo edgeGateway enables powerful preprocessing and aggregation from up to 500 data sources. Data can be sent to the cloud every minute or as frequently as every 10 seconds or even every second, depending on your needs.

Four aggregation methods are available:

  • Mean-value: Average of all measured values in the defined time interval.
  • Maximum-value: Highest measured value recorded in the defined time interval.
  • Minimum value: Lowest measured value in the defined time interval.
  • Last value: Final recorded value in the defined time interval without aggregation.

Easy setup

No specialized IT knowledge required. Step-by-step instructions guide you through connecting the edgeGateway to the cloud.

Scalable and flexible expansion

Each moneo IIoT Core Cloud subscription (QCM100) includes 500 information points per minute, regardless of the number of edge devices. Need more? Just add another subscription.

When planning, consider how many data sources you’ll connect and how often you want data sent to the cloud. You can manage this easily from the cloud interface.

Remote maintenance with moneo remoteConnect

moneo remoteConnect provides secure, configurable remote access to moneo and connected plant systems. Adapt access rights to your needs and maintain full control over remote maintenance activities.

Does ifm offer an on-premises IIoT solution?

ifm has strategically focused its IIoT development on a cloud-based platform rather than traditional on-premises systems. This cloud-first approach enables faster deployment of new features and updates, which are automatically rolled out, eliminating the need for manual intervention or complex local maintenance.

This decision reflects ifm’s view of the future of industrial innovation: scalable, flexible, and efficient systems that can adapt quickly to changing demands.

Key benefits of ifm’s cloud-based IIoT solution:

  • Seamless scalability as your system grows
  • Lower total cost of ownership compared to on-premises setups
  • Secure remote access and centralized monitoring
  • Minimal reliance on in-house IT resources
