Intelli-Connect™ Mobile, from Columbus McKinnon, enables quick and easy programming, maintenance, monitoring, and troubleshooting of your crane system. Advanced diagnostic capabilities provide critical information, such as signal monitors, run trending data, equipment usage history, and event history. By incorporating this technology into your overhead crane or hoist, you can proactively monitor and schedule maintenance to ensure you have the necessary parts and support available when you need it. And, if your system does go down unexpectedly, Intelli-Connect™ Mobile can help reduce your mean time to recover (MTTR). With instant access to user manuals available through the app, operators can easily reference system setup and corrective action steps to get equipment back up and running quickly. Using Intelli-Connect™ Mobile, you can monitor and troubleshoot a Magnetek variable frequency drive (VFD) right from the plant floor. Intelli-Connect™ Mobile wirelessly connects to crane equipment located 20-100 feet in the air, allowing you to safely and quickly get an overview of your system’s operation. You no longer need to power down, climb up to the drive, and connect hardware to access drive information, thus eliminating potentially hazardous situations.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Intelli holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AXIS Installer has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Intelli's written reviews are positive against 25% of AXIS Installer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Intelli ships an update every 4 weeks, AXIS Installer monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
