Retrofitting? What Does That Really Mean?

Efficient System Modernization with the WAGO IoT Box

Retrofitting means modernizing existing machines and systems with new technology to increase performance and efficiency without replacing the entire infrastructure.

The WAGO IoT Box is the perfect solution: It can be integrated into control cabinet quickly and works with almost any system.

Precise data acquisition lets you optimize processes, plan maintenance activities in advance and manage energy consumption transparently.

Additional applications allow you to control devices from a central point or implement security measures – with a flexible, scalable and customizable approach.

The WAGO IoT Box in Brief

The IoT Docking Solution

The WAGO IoT Box is a fully pre-assembled solution that can be retrofitted to existing machines without interrupting production. One major advantage is that it does not have to be integrated into an existing control cabinet: It is an autonomous unit that supports flexible installation, either right on the machine or at a different location. Thanks to its open automation technology, the WAGO IoT Box is a versatile solution for monitoring parameters like current, voltage, production cycles and system status information.
Various connection options are available for integrating with your company’s IT infrastructure: ETHERNET, WLAN or fully location-independent access via a mobile network. The necessary security is provided not only by separating IT and OT networks but also through additional measures like TLS encryption and VPN tunneling, which are integrated directly into the PFC controllers.

WAGO IoT Box Benefits

Modular

Both hardware and software are adaptable to your customer projects and remain fully scalable.

OT/IT Connectivity

Your gateway between OT and IT; third-party interfaces and protocols can be easily integrated via apps (Docker® images).

Flexible Use

For everything from proofs of concept to large-scale rollouts – whether as a retrofit or for entirely new solutions

Plug-and-Play Connection

Ready for global use right out of the box: a pre-wired control cabinet solution with an optional pre-installed software application

Network-Capable Digitization

Retrofitting to existing systems gets them ready for digitization without major interruptions to production, thanks to fast, easy integration.

Targeted Energy Management

The Energy, Flex and Energy MID IoT Boxes enable energy monitoring and data analysis to help identify optimization potential and support predictive maintenance in industrial installations and building systems.
