PROVEN AT SCALE

750 Mio. Data Operations per Day

Over 750 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.

i-flow Operations this month: -

Over 750 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.

The era of self-connecting factories has begun. Test free of charge with i-flow.

One platform. Proven across industries.

From automotive and mining to pharma and data centers, leading companies rely on i-flow as the critical data infrastructure connecting their industrial operations. Together with strong partners, we deliver scalable solutions across industries and regions worldwide.

Food

“In food manufacturing, our MES doesn’t tolerate message reordering or dropouts — a wrong sequence can stop a line. We needed a UNS that behaves deterministically under load. i-flow is the first platform where we stopped worrying about that.”

Medical Technology

“In regulated medical manufacturing, the software is only half the story — the team behind it matters just as much. With i-flow, support doesn’t feel like a ticket queue. It feels like a partner who actually understands what’s at stake on the shop floor.”

Automotive

“The i-flow software offers the fastest communication times between machine controllers and IT systems and is the most scalable and comprehensive solution we have tested on the market.”

Pharma

“The i-flow Agent is extremely impressive. It turns factory connectivity from a manual engineering effort into an autonomous process: discovering systems, understanding their data, and creating the structure needed to connect them. For us, this changes the standard, bringing us that step closer to Autonomous Manufacturing.”

Mining

“CBMM is evolving to a modern IIoT architecture based on UNS, which, with the support of i-flow, enables scalable integration across 17 plants despite the heterogeneity of technologies and industrial protocols.”

Edmur Rios, Industrial Technology Manager

Machinery & Equipment Manufacturing

“We needed a platform that supports not only OT-to-IT, but also IT-to-IT integration. i-flow stood out through its ability to support different integration patterns — from request/reply and event-based communication to batch and real-time data processing — all within one scalable UNS platform.“

Max Weiss, VP IT & Data

Auf weißem Hintergrund steht in großer, hellgrauer Schrift „QUEST ONE“. Diese dezente und zurückhaltende Gestaltungswahl spiegelt den nahtlosen Charakter der IT-zu-IT-Integration wider – fast unsichtbar und doch unverzichtbar für ein reibungsloses und einheitliches Erlebnis. Der Text ist aufgrund des geringen Kontrasts zum Hintergrund kaum zu erkennen.
Construction

“The standout feature of the i-flow software is its user-centric experience, especially when compared to other vendors. This is further enhanced by i-flow’s exceptional customer service, ensuring thorough support with fast response times.”

Sebastian Ziller, Cloud Platforms Manager
