Rules & logic without programming
Automate processes with no-code logic, templates and rules - without any development effort.

Local edge control in the event of a network interruption
VION remains functional even if the connection is interrupted - with decentralized intelligence at the point of use.

Modular use in a wide range of industries
Whether pumping station or solar field: VION adapts to your use case with exactly the modules you need.

Integrations as multipliers
Thanks to open interfaces and standard protocols, VION grows with you and becomes the basis for new solutions.

Module overview

  • VION connects devices locally, across locations or via the cloud - securely, quickly and independently of the manufacturer.
    In addition to standardized protocols such as MQTT, Modbus, REST and gRPC, the system also supports classic digital and analogue input and output signals.
    Thanks to consistent mTLS authentication, industrial systems and modern IoT devices are seamlessly integrated into a shared communication network that works both at the edge and in the cloud.

  • Allow me, DALE - the Distributed Actor-based Logic Engine.
    It orchestrates thousands of logic blocks deterministically, fault-tolerantly and in real time.
    Thread safety is available from us as a service. By distributing via gateways at the edge or optionally in the cloud, each logic runs exactly where it has the greatest effect.

  • Schedules, if-then-else logics and alarms can be designed declaratively and locally using the integrated rule sets.
    Custom logics can be developed using the SDKs provided or integrated using existing integrator libraries.
    The result is a flexible system that can map simple automations just as elegantly as complex on-site controls.

  • Maintain control over your gateways and all connected devices.
    VION offers monitoring, alerting, provisioning, firmware rollouts and certificate management - fully automated if required.
    Thousands of devices remain secure, up-to-date and accessible at all times.

  • The VION platform collects, transforms and distributes telemetry, measurement and log data in real time.
    Thanks to scalable event processing and open APIs, every signal is immediately available for analysis, visualization or further processing - locally, in the cloud or in your own applications.

  • The modular dashboard framework provides ready-to-use, configurable widgets for KPIs, charts and status overviews.
    In future, integrators will be able to develop their own widgets using the logic block libraries provided and thus integrate individual visualizations or tools directly into the platform.

  • VION is open by design with SDKs, REST APIs and event bridges for cloud and on-premise systems.
    Securely integrate local event brokers, alarm systems or closed environments without exposing your online systems.
    The result is a flexible ecosystem that integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructures.

  • End-to-end encryption, mTLS, role-based access control and auditable certificate chains form the foundation of our security concept.
    The architecture is already based on ISO 27001 and official certification is planned for 2026.
    EU Data Act requirements are continuously incorporated into the design and development process and ensure long-term compliance and transparency.

The journey is the destination. Our roadmap:

  • From project to scalable system

    In phase 1, we lay the foundations for a platform that integrators can use to set up automation projects more quickly, operate them securely and develop them further in the long term. The focus is on three dimensions: Reusability, community and tested security.

    VION Marketplace for logic blocks

    The VION Marketplace will be the central location for logic blocks and modules that are used repeatedly in typical project scenarios. The aim is to create an environment in which integrators can access structured and clearly described building blocks instead of starting each project from scratch. This saves time, reduces sources of error and makes complex automation easier to plan.

    Building an integrator community

    Parallel to the Marketplace, an integrator community is growing around VION. People who work in the field on a daily basis contribute their knowledge and benefit from the exchange of experience. Over time, this creates a lively environment in which best practices, solutions and learning curves are collected and can be used by everyone.

    Useful AI support directly in the IDE

    Developers work in their familiar environment; in the next step, VION provides meaningful AI support directly in the IDE. The focus is not on the show effect, but on concrete relief in everyday development. AI should help where it is most useful and guide developers away from repetitive tasks and towards content-related work.

    Support tools for integrators

    Phase 1 includes targeted support tools for integrators. They are designed to make everyday life easier in ongoing projects and bring transparency to the installed solutions. The claim is clearly formulated: Tools that fit the reality of integrators and keep the operation of VION-based systems clear.

    Support for additional programming languages

    VION is gradually being opened up to additional programming languages. The aim is to pick up integrators where their existing skills and projects lie. VION should fit into established landscapes instead of creating new technical disruptions.

    Security with clear standards: ISO 27001 and IEC 62443

    Security is an integral part of the platform strategy right from the start. In phase 1, we align VION with recognized standards and work towards ISO 27001 and IEC 62443 certifications. In this way, we are creating a traceable basis that operators and integrators can rely on when it comes to information security and industrial security.

  • From the platform to the partner ecosystem

    In phase 2, the focus shifts to scaling. VION is opening up further to integrators, operators and manufacturers to turn individual projects into a sustainable partner network. The focus is on expandability, freedom of choice in terms of infrastructure and sensible automation.

    Partner program for integrators

    VION is establishing a structured partner program for integrators in phase 2. The aim is to establish a clear basis for long-term cooperation with transparent requirements, recognizable added value and reliable contacts. Integrators who use VION in their projects are given a defined role in the ecosystem and are supported in positioning and growing with the platform.

    Private cloud support

    In addition to traditional operating models, VION supports use in private cloud environments in phase 2. This allows companies with high compliance and data sovereignty requirements to integrate VION into their existing infrastructure while retaining full control over data and operations.

    AI agent for simple logic block integrations

    To speed up simple integrations, VION is introducing an AI agent for logic blocks that enables no-code scenarios. This allows standard tasks to be mapped without extensive programming, while complex logic can still be implemented using conventional development. The idea behind this is clearly formulated: Specialist teams can create initial automations themselves, while integrators refine and scale them.

    Support for different gateway topologies

    The network structure is crucial in many projects. VION takes this into account and supports different gateway topologies, for example when distributed locations, network segmentation or different security zones need to be taken into account. Integrators can adapt the architecture of the connection to the reality in the field instead of forcing their projects into a rigid model.

    Support for additional hardware platforms

    Phase 2 expands the number of hardware platforms on which VION can be used. This allows the platform to be operated closer to the customer's existing infrastructure, whether in the data center, in the control cabinet or close to the machine. Integrators gain leeway when selecting the right devices for their scenarios.

    Options for independent integration of additional hardware platforms

    To ensure that VION grows sustainably, integrators and manufacturers will be able to integrate additional hardware platforms themselves in future. Documented interfaces and clearly described procedures are the basis for this. This will gradually result in a broader range of hardware without having to implement every extension centrally.

    Possibilities for independent expansion of the widget library in the same style

    At the interface level, VION offers the option of extending the existing widget library in the same style in phase 2. Integrators can create their own widgets that visually and functionally fit harmoniously into existing dashboards. This allows very specific user requirements to be mapped without losing the design line of the platform.

    Phase 2 turns VION into a space in which integrators, manufacturers and operators can work together to build viable solutions for industry, infrastructure and energy.

Starting instead of waiting
