Pilot
We network your first system as a proof of concept
IoT Solutions
At cap-on, we turn your data into success. Our end-to-end solution combines IoT, cloud and AI to provide seamless data collection and in-depth analytics. Optimize your processes and increase efficiency.
Our approach
Every machine is unique. We start with the digitalization of a pilot asset. Thanks to our plug-and-play IoT gateway, experience has shown that this takes less than two hours on site at your factory. In the scaling phase, the onboarding of new machines takes just a few minutes.
Give your customers real-time insights into their data both in the web app and via API

Success story: AaaS transformation at MAAG
Together with cap-on, MAAG is not only expanding its offering with profitable AaaS models, but is also digitizing its machine fleet with the help of the cap-on IoT solution.
The systems are monitored in real time and, thanks to the cap-on Watchtower, warnings are given of potential failures. This has significantly reduced service costs. In addition, the systems can be further optimized by analyzing the runtime data. MAAG and cap-on are currently working on a solution for secure remote access to the HMI to prevent further service calls.

FAQ
What is an IoT solution for the industrial environment?
An IoT solution for the industrial environment (Industry 4.0) comprises networked devices, sensors and software that are used to optimize production processes, increase efficiency, predict maintenance and collect and analyze data in real time.
What security measures should be taken for industrial IoT devices?
Security is of crucial importance. This includes the encryption of data transmissions, regular software updates and patches, secure authentication procedures, network segmentation and the protection of physical devices against unauthorized access. All of this is done in accordance with standards such as ISO27001.
Are IoT solutions compatible with existing systems?
Many IoT solutions are designed to be compatible with existing industrial control systems and software platforms. However, it is important to check this in advance and make any necessary adjustments.
How is data from IoT devices collected and analyzed?
IoT platforms collect data from various sensors and devices. This data is then stored in databases and can be evaluated with the help of analysis tools to gain insights into production processes, make predictions and support decision-making processes.
What are the most common use cases for IoT in the industrial sector?
The most common use cases include predictive maintenance, asset tracking, energy monitoring, quality control and the automation of production processes.
What role does artificial intelligence (AI) play in IoT solutions?
AI and machine learning are playing an increasingly important role in processing and analyzing the large amounts of data generated by IoT devices. They enable patterns to be recognized, predictions to be made and automated decisions to be taken in real time.
How can I measure the performance of my IoT solution?
Performance can be measured using various KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), including improving production speed, reducing downtime, saving energy and improving product quality.
How does data connectivity work?
Data is read from the machines or systems via the cap-on IoT gateway and transmitted to the cap-on cloud. Specifically, cap-on offers the option of using industry standards OPC UA, MQTT, S7 or other technical protocols to read relevant data from the PLC and send it automatically.The IoT gateway is of course equipped with its own firewall. Alternatively, a customer's inventory data can also be transmitted to the cap-on Cloud via a technical interface in order to benefit from data processing.
