All INTRAVIS inspection systems ordered from January 2025 are delivered as a cloud-ready solution. From this date, the edge device is integrated into all systems by default. This decision brings several advantages for customers.

"We have made the conscious decision to deliver all systems, ordered from January 2025, equipped with the edge device and therefore cloud-enabled," says Janina Orlowski, Head of Marketing & Product Management.
The main advantage for our customers: They can flexibly decide - now or in the future - whether they also want to use the data collected by the inspection system for cloud-based software solutions such as IntraVisualizer. There is no need for a costly retrofit of the necessary hardware. "This means that the inspection system is already future-proof for the next decade," says Janina Orlowski.
Another advantage is the increased IT security for the inspection system. The edge device provides a firewall-secured, standardized interface between the inspection system and any external networks. This increases the protection of the system and the data on it. At the same time, all data on the system is only made available in encrypted format. This is an important aspect, particularly with regard to the future data security requirements of the NIS 2 directive.
The edge device and its functionalities open up a number of further possibilities for the future. "For example, a kind of remote monitoring by our service is conceivable. This could alert customers about problems, or provide immediate assistance in the event of alerts," says Janina Orlowski. In addition, it would also be easier and safer to install updates via remote maintenance, and thus keep the system permanently up to date and efficient.
The advantages at a glance:
• Flexibility in deciding whether and when to use collected quality data for cloud-based software solutions since the required hardware is already installed.
• Increased IT and data security of the inspection system thanks to an integrated firewall and data encryption.
• Future-proof hardware for future software solutions and service offerings.
