Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about PLC and sensor integration with iFactory.

iFactory supports all major PLC brands including Siemens (S7-300/400/1200/1500), Allen-Bradley/Rockwell (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, MicroLogix), Mitsubishi (MELSEC iQ-R, iQ-F, Q, FX), Omron (CJ, NJ, NX series), Schneider Electric (Modicon M340, M580), ABB, Honeywell, Panasonic, and Beckhoff. We support 500+ industrial protocols for universal connectivity.

Most PLC and sensor integrations go live within 2 weeks. Simple setups with auto-discovery can be completed in days. The process includes device discovery, tag configuration, data mapping, and dashboard setup. Our no-code interface means you don't need programming skills to configure connections.

Our AI continuously monitors PLC sensor data to detect anomalies indicating equipment malfunctions. The LLM analyzes patterns from vibration, temperature, pressure, and other sensors to predict failures 1-4 weeks in advance. Instant alerts notify maintenance teams, reducing unplanned downtime by up to 45% and enabling condition-based maintenance scheduling.

Edge processing delivers sub-millisecond latency for local operations. PLC data acquisition typically achieves 10-50ms depending on the protocol and number of tags. Cloud data is available within 1-2 seconds of collection. Our edge computing architecture ensures critical decisions happen locally without cloud round-trips.

iFactory Edge runs on standard industrial PCs, Raspberry Pi, or dedicated edge gateways. We support Windows, Linux, and Docker deployments. Minimum requirements are 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. For AI/ML workloads, we recommend 4GB+ RAM. We also offer pre-configured edge appliances for turnkey deployment.

All connections use TLS 1.3 encryption. We support certificate-based authentication, VPN tunnels, and air-gapped deployments. OPC UA security policies are fully implemented. Edge devices can operate in isolated networks with secure outbound-only cloud sync. We're IEC 62443 compliant for industrial cybersecurity.
