Most machines can be onboarded within minutes using ei³’s preconfigured gateway options and guided setup process. Data points are mapped using a standardized method and automatically routed through ei³’s secure architecture. Engineering teams can connect assets across different generations and protocols with predictable effort, which accelerates scaling across large installed bases.

Predictive maintenance starts with high-quality, standardized machine data. ei³ collects and normalizes signals from different controllers and machine generations, creating a single, trusted data foundation. Once data is consistent and securely available, organizations can activate ei³ applications for performance monitoring, anomaly detection, and usage-based maintenance. This creates a clear path that moves teams from reactive troubleshooting to prescriptive, predictive, and eventually automated optimization.

ei³ secures machine data from the moment it leaves the controller. The Amphion edge device uses outbound-only communication, encrypted transport, hardened firmware, port whitelisting, and a secure container environment. Data travels through ei³’s Managed Secure Network and is stored in geographically compliant, private data centers. This layered approach protects operational data without slowing down analysis or availability.
