The easiest way to get machine data into the cloud

Digitise machines. No PLC. No barriers.

Connect the IO-Link sensor, view the data – it's that simple with the io-key.®

The io-key is a radio-based IoT gateway and IO-Link master in one, specially developed for industrial applications. It connects your IO-Link sensors directly to the cloud – without a PLC, without IT infrastructure and without complex project planning. For you, this means: Quick start, minimal hurdles, maximum impact.

What makes the io-key® special for you

Edge switching function

Switch locally, even without a cloud connection.

Easy installation

Plug & play: connect the IO-Link sensor, power up and go – no PLC, no setup required.

Full IO-Link compatibility

Works with over 20,000 sensors from a wide range of manufacturers.

Flexible cloud connectivity

Visualisation, alerting and data export via autosen.cloud are included. Integration with an existing cloud platform is also possible.

Wireless instead of cabling

Mobile network communication – ideal for existing production assets or machines far from existing IT infrastructure

Digital condition monitoring in 3 steps

The io-key is used wherever quick results are needed without major intervention – for example:

io-key

Supply device with power – automatic sensor detection

io-key

Connect sensor – up to two IO-Link sensorssimultaneously

io-key

Evaluate sensor data in the cloud – dashboard, alarm manager, export functions

io-key cloud

Your solution, your cloud

Whether in our own autosen.cloud or in your existing infrastructure on AWS, Azure or other providers – you decide where your data resides. Maximum flexibility for your IIoT solution.
