CONNECT - Innovative industrial smart hub

CONNECT is a platform which manages all items, actions and information related to your assembly line activities

The CONNECT is an innovative industrial smart hub that offers a single point of connection for communications between the factory network and up to 20 cordless tools, reducing the cost of ownership and simplifying installations for easier line rebalancing.

Born to answer your challenges:

How to reduce your the risks of errors?
How to optimize the compatibility and management of all items?
How to ensure traceability and data integrity?

Let's talk about it!
