Developed for the industry. Made for progress.
Industry 4.0 enthusiasts love i-flow
Simplicity by Design
i-flow was developed with a clear focus: maximum ease-of-use. Our customers connect OT & IT systems without being slowed down by technical complexity.
Unlimited Connectivity
Equipped with over 200 connectors to common OT and IT systems, i-flow minimizes effort and accelerates the integration and connection of your systems and processes.
Real-time Monitoring
i-flow provides important real-time insights and metrics to optimize your Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS). This makes it easy to maintain and fine-tune your digital ecosystems.
How i-flow seamlessly scales with your requirements?
Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS)
i-flow provides the essential tools for a scalable integration of OT and IT based on the Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS) architecture.
At its core, the software consists of the following modules.

Maximum flexibility in deployment.
From direct installation on edge hardware to the cloud: i-flow offers you maximum flexibility when implementing your Industrial Unified Namespace (UNS) architecture.
Asset Level
Install the lightweight i-flow Edge and i-flow Broker modules on controllers, IPCs or gateways. This option is suitable 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.
- Connection to each system directly via the local network for maximum security.
Cloud Level
Install i-flow modules in your edge-to-cloud architecture and combine the advantages of both worlds if you have the following requirements:
- Optimal balance between scaling, performance and efficiency.
- Maximum security for segmented IT/OT networks.

Data integration - revolutionary simple.
Seamlessly integrate dozens, hundreds or thousands of OT and IT systems. Be it through direct communication with the PLC, the use of standard protocols such as OPC UA and HTTP or proprietary interfaces, for example to ERP systems.

Data harmonization - Chaos was yesterday.
Different systems supply the same parameter in different protocols, data types and formats? The i-flow software models and harmonizes your system data on the Edge. This is how scalability works.

Data processing - without code.
Publish harmonized data once in a central message broker (“publish once”). From there, the data can be subscribed to and processed by any number of systems (“distribute everywhere”). True to the principle of “publish once, distribute everywhere” with maximum efficiency.
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.
