Infrastructure for intelligent products

A secure way into the physical world.

Connhex gives device manufacturers the secure, high-performance foundation to build intelligent connected products and the custom applications, automations and AI agents around them. Unlimited devices, unlimited data and complete control from field to cloud.

Everything an intelligent product needs

Connectivity, secure device identity, unlimited field data and lifecycle operations work as one foundation. Launch connected services without assembling and maintaining the platform yourself.

Control every interaction

Users, applications and AI agents can see data and trigger only the actions you authorize. One permission model protects every path from field to cloud and back.

Built to be built on

Create branded applications, custom workflows and AI experiences around your products. Connhex keeps all of them connected to secure device identities and live field data at any fleet size.

The in-house alternative

AI can write the app. It shouldn't reinvent the platform.

Coding agents can accelerate interfaces and business logic. Production device identity, ingestion, tenant isolation, OTA, monitoring, compliance and scale are still infrastructure.

Connhex provides that layer and takes responsibility for keeping it production-ready. Your team and its AI tools can build differentiated software without inheriting another platform to maintain.

I discovered Connhex after an in-depth technological scouting phase. It has proven to be by far the best solution for our needs: nothing even comes close.

CTOCase Study

One data backbone. Every team, app and product line.

Connhex connects device telemetry with manufacturing records, identities, permissions and business context to give Engineering, Operations, Support, customer applications and AI one coherent foundation.

Explore relationships and extract insights from your data with Connhex Copilot.

Analytics for Physical Products

Like web analytics, but for the physical world. Understand exactly which features your customers love and which ones they ignore.

Future Product Development

Stop guessing what your next product needs. Use real-world usage data to drive your R&D roadmap and build what users actually want.

Ask Your Fleet, in Plain English

Connect your device data to the AI tools your team already uses. Ask questions, trigger actions and monitor your fleet directly from ChatGPT, Claude, and more.

European from the ground up

The team, legal framework and managed infrastructure behind Connhex are European, giving manufacturers a clear path to data residency and long-term operational control.

EU data centers

Managed Connhex Cloud runs in Germany and Finland, with multi-region resilience and data kept within EU jurisdiction.

Infrastructure you control

Enterprise deployments can run in your cloud account or on your servers, keeping systems, data and operations under your control.

Factory to field

One device identity. Its entire lifecycle.

Connhex carries each product from secure factory provisioning through field operations, customer applications and AI without requiring a new system at every stage.

A device's lifecycle is often fragmented across separate manufacturing and operational systems.

Connhex solves this by creating a single source of thruth that follows each device from the production line to the field.

From factory provisioning to fleet management and OTA updates, Connhex supports your entire product lifecycle.

The entire process was seamless - we just flashed the image and booted the board.

Connhex Remote Init is exactly what we needed. It also handles cases we didn't foresee at all: I'm confident it will be one of our infrastructural pillars for many years.

AI-native platform

IoT infrastructure.
AI-native by design.

AI is only useful when it can reach reliable, contextual field data and act on it safely. Connhex provides the governed layer between physical devices, custom software and AI agents.

The missing data layer

Hardware data is not AI-ready by default.

Raw telemetry needs identity, relationships, history, permissions and safe paths back to devices before software or AI can use it responsibly. Connhex makes that foundation part of the platform.

Product context

Telemetry stays connected to device models, owners, installations, relationships and lifecycle state.

Governed access

The same fine-grained permissions control what users, applications and AI agents can read and do.

Safe actions

Authorized software can move from questions to rules, workflows and commands back toward the field.

For developers

Ship custom IoT apps in an afternoon.

Context7 gives your LLM up-to-date Connhex docs. MCP lets it connect directly to your fleet and debug in real time. The result: a custom IoT app built in hours, not months.

A white-labeled app, an embedded widget, a tailored dashboard: it's an afternoon with an AI coding agent and our docs.

For users

Let users ask their fleet anything.

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any AI assistant to your Connhex account. Your customers can ask questions about their devices in plain language and get real answers, sourced directly from the fleet.

Generate weekly reports, surface hidden trends, or drill into what's actually happening on-site. No dashboards to navigate. No query language to learn.

With AI, you can finally create a completely custom experience without giving up the robustness we spent years building.

Skip building the platform. Build on it.

Device provisioning, telemetry pipelines, fleet security and edge connectivity all reflect years of experience with real-world IoT edge cases.

Headless IoT for the agentic era

The complete stack for connected hardware OEMs.

Complete Industrial IoT infrastructure with RBAC, time-series optimization, per-device X.509 auth and AI safety harness. Connect Claude Code, Codex or any other agent and start building.

Headless & API-First

RESTful APIs following JSON:API standards, carefully documented. Build tailored apps and UIs without worrying about infrastructure management and scalability.

Built-in RBAC & Multi-Tenancy

Sophisticated role-based permissions with team support and realm isolation. Manage authentication natively or bring your own identity provider.

Optimized Time-Series Ingestion

Purpose-built data schemas for fast retrieval at scale. Multi-protocol support (MQTT, HTTP, CoAP, WebSockets, LoRa) with automatic device segregation.

Secure Device Identity

Dedicated X.509 certificates per device with secure key exchange procedures. mTLS authentication and cryptographically-secure secrets storage built in.

AI with Safety Guardrails

Expose anomaly detection and forecasting without access to raw device data with Connhex AI. Let LLMs access data and interact with devices with dedicated permissions.

Developer Tooling

Open-source CLI, MCP server and Edge Service templates, plus client SDKs for rapid integration.

Cloud-Native Scalability

Auto-scaling architecture handles growth from first device to millions. High-availability, multi-region deployments with automated backups and data retention.

Real-Time Monitoring

Connhex Monitoring tracks infrastructure health, database performance, device connections, and message traffic. Custom alerts for system events and anomalies.

About us

Empowering manufacturers to compete on a global scale.

We come from northern Italy, an industrial hub in an industrial country, in a continent built on making things.

Manufacturers are under pressure: competition is global, margins are shrinking, customer expectations are higher than ever. The only way forward is building radically better products, coupled with high-value services and new business models.

This has always been possible for companies with huge R&D budgets. SMEs have been left behind, struggling to compete.

We're here to change that.

Compiuta has proven to be a core partner for 4neXt: as hardware manufacturers, we can continue to focus on our core business and offer our customers a high-performance cloud platform that adheres to the latest security standards.
