IIoT and AI for Connected Machines
Securely connect, service and understand every machine in your fleet
ei³ is an industrial IoT and AI platform for machine builders and manufacturers. Securely connect machines, enable remote service, collect and standardize machine data, and use that data for monitoring, uptime, quality, maintenance and industrial AI.
25+ years
190,000+
connected assets
6,500+
facilities across the globe
90,000+
secure remote sessions annually
What do you want to do with your machines?
Securely access machines remotely
Give authorized service teams secure access to PLCs, HMIs and industrial equipment.
Collect and standardize machine data
Connect mixed fleets, control systems and protocols through one scalable data foundation.
Monitor machine performance
See current conditions, historical trends and high-resolution signals surrounding critical events.
Reduce downtime and improve OEE
Find recurring stops, production losses and the highest-value opportunities to improve uptime.
Improve maintenance and predict failures
Use operating history and your preferred algorithms to identify emerging machine problems.
Improve quality and process consistency
Connect process conditions with product results to uncover causes of scrap and variation.
Built for companies that build machines — and companies that run them
ONE CONNECTED MACHINE FOUNDATION
Start with one need.
Build without starting over.
An OEM may begin with remote service. A manufacturer may begin with monitoring. Once each machine is securely connected and its data standardized, that same foundation supports more applications, integrations and AI.
