Developed for the industry. Made for progress.
Industry 4.0 enthusiasts love i-flow
Simplicity by Design
i-flow was developed with a clear goal: maximum ease-of-use for fast results. Our customers connect IT & OT systems without being slowed down by technical complexity.
Scalability
The modular architecture of i-flow is designed for maximum scalability and allows seamless extension. From the integration of individual machines to complex, multinational production networks.
Unlimited Connectivity
Equipped with over 200 connectors to common IT and OT systems, i-flow minimizes effort and accelerates system integration. The i-flow SDK enables the integration of proprietary systems for maximum flexibility.
"Working with i-flow sets new standards: i-flow combines highly intuitive software that enables quick wins with the ability to scale easily.

Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS)
i-flow provides the key components for scalable system integration in factories based on an open, event-based and scalable architecture – the Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS). The architecture has a modular design and consists of three modules: i-flow Hub, i-flow Broker and i-flow Edge.
How i-flow seamlessly scales with your requirements?
Maximum flexibility in deployment.
From a straightforward installation on edge hardware to the cloud. The i-flow modules offer you maximum flexibility in the deployment of the Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS) architecture.
Asset Level
Install the lightweight i-flow Edge and i-flow Broker modules on PLCs, IPCs or gateways. Perfectly suited for the following use cases:
- Data processing close to the machine for maximum performance and minimum latency.
- Offline or closed-loop scenarios, for example for production control.
Edge Level
Run the i-flow software modules on line servers, factory servers or VMs. This option is ideal if you have the following use case requirements:
- Decentralized data harmonization and processing close to the source, with good scalability.
- Integration into any system directly through the local network for maximum security.
Cloud Level
Install the i-flow modules in your distributed edge-to-cloud architecture. Combine the advantages of both worlds if you have the following requirements:
- Optimal balance between scaling, performance, latency and efficiency.
- Maximum security for segmented IT/OT networks.
400 Mio. Data Operations per Day
Over 400 million data operations per day in production-critical environments demonstrate the scalability of the software and the deep trust that customers place in i-flow.
Whether PLC, sensor or ERP data, i-flow provides the basis for a modern IT/OT architecture in manufacturing companies.
