Add services around the hardware
Add branded apps, remote controls, alerts and services around your product. They look and feel like your brand. Connhex provides the infrastructure underneath.
The IoT suite for device manufacturers
Build the next generation of your product.
Connect, monitor, update and improve your products after they ship. Unlimited devices, unlimited data, no per-device costs.
Trusted by manufacturers and product teams
What Connhex makes possible
Extend what your product can do after it ships.
Add secure digital services, support products after they ship and use field data to decide what to improve next. Build on Connhex yourself, or work with our team.
Support every product after it ships
Set up each unit securely in the factory. Then monitor it, update it, support it and keep its service history throughout its life.
Use the field to improve what comes next
See what works, what fails and what customers use. Help Support solve problems and Engineering improve what comes next.
Unlimited by design
Unlimited devices. Unlimited data.
Connect as many devices as you need and send all the data they produce. Use richer field data to improve monitoring, support and future product development.
We’ve designed Connhex to be infinitely scalable.
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.

The connected product lifecycle
From factory setup through years in the field.
Give every unit a secure identity, monitor and support it, deliver safe updates and use field data to build services and improve what comes next.
Secure product setup starts in the factory.
Give every unit a secure identity
Give every unit a secure device identity, with unique credentials linked to the right model, customer and organization.
Connect products built on any hardware
Connhex works with any product hardware, from microcontrollers to Linux-based boards and custom electronics. Use Connhex Edge where it fits, or connect directly through the APIs.
Keep factory records connected
Link each product’s cloud identity to its manufacturing record, including serial number, hardware revision, firmware version and production batch, so support teams can trace field issues back to the exact units affected.
Built for the years after launch
Whatever happens in the field, handled by design.
Fleets do not stand still. Devices become unstable, products change hands, and new generations arrive with new message formats. Connhex keeps operations, access and history coherent as the fleet evolves.
A device gets stuck in a reconnection loop
Find devices caught in repeated reconnection attempts, then inspect fleet status, last-seen times and uptime before the issue becomes a support case.
A product changes owner or is replaced
Remove the previous owner's access and keep their data private, while preserving the product history your service team needs.
Old and new product generations coexist in the field
Normalize legacy and new message formats into one data model while supporting every hardware and software generation in the installed fleet.
Adopt Connhex your way
A platform you can build on. A team you can build with.
Connhex brings the software for connectivity, data, applications and fleet operations together in one complete platform. Adopt it as your product foundation, or introduce individual capabilities alongside the systems you already use.
Adopt the platform all at once or step by step
Use Connhex as the foundation for a new product, or start by improving a fleet, service or factory process.
Fit Connhex around what already works
Adopt only the Connhex components you need. They can work alongside your current cloud, factory systems and applications.
Build it yourself, or build it with us
Build directly on Connhex with your own team, or work with ours to design, integrate and deliver the customer and internal applications your solution needs.
Wherever Connhex runs, we keep it running.
Use Connhex Cloud, your cloud account or your own infrastructure. Our team handles upgrades, backups, monitoring and support after launch.
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.

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, and customer expectations are higher than ever. We built Connhex so manufacturers can make their products smarter without building every software layer themselves.
You know what the next product version should become. We bring the software and engineering team to help make it real.
Connhex has proven to be a decisive advantage 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.
