IoT NET is an IoT platform for data collection, processing, visualization, and device management. It enables device connectivity via industry standard IoT protocols - MQTT, CoAP and HTTP and supports integration OPC-UA, AWS, Azure, RabbitMQ and many other. IoT NET combines scalability, fault-tolerance and performance so you will never lose your data. Provision and manage devices and assets Provision, monitor and control your IoT entities in secure way using rich server-side APIs. Define relations between your devices, assets, customers or any other entities. Collect and visualize data Collect and store telemetry data in scalable and fault-tolerant way. Visualize your data with built-in or custom widgets and flexible dashboards. Share dashboards with your customers. SCADA High-performance Monitor and control your industrial processes in real time with SCADA. Use SCADA symbols on dashboards to create and manage any workflow, offering full flexibility to design and oversee operations according to your requirements. Process and React Define data processing rule chains. Transform and normalize your device data. Raise alarms on incoming telemetry events, attribute updates, device inactivity and user actions. Microservices Construct your IoT NET cluster and get maximum scalability and fault-tolerance with microservices architecture.

IOTExplorer — Zero-Configuration IoT Device Discovery for iOS & iPadOS Instantly discover and manage every IO-TEQ device on your network from your iPhone or iPad. IOTExplorer uses intelligent UDP broadcast scanning to find devices the moment they come online — no manual setup, no IP addresses to remember, no configuration files to maintain. Whether you're checking a few sensors in the field or managing an IoT fleet on the go, IOTExplorer gives you a mobile-first experience purpose-built for iOS and iPadOS. REAL-TIME DISCOVERY & MONITORING IOTExplorer continuously scans your local network, detecting devices as they appear, tracking IP changes, monitoring firmware versions, and reporting online/offline status in real time. Reachability is determined by subnet — so you always know which devices are on your network. TWO VIEW MODES • Grid — Card-based layout for quick visual scanning • List — Sortable, filterable list for fast device lookup BUILT-IN NETWORK DIAGNOSTICS No need to switch to another app. IOTExplorer includes tools right inside: • Ping with latency results • Port scanner for TCP connectivity (HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, Modbus) • Reachability test for instant connectivity checks DEVICE MANAGEMENT & ORGANIZATION • Favorites for quick access to frequently used devices • Find Me to physically locate devices with visual/audio indicators • Temporary IP assignment for field configuration • Network configuration (IP, subnet, gateway, DHCP) for supported devices • Device history — chronological log of discovery, updates, disappearances, and network changes OPTIMIZED FOR IPAD On iPad, IOTExplorer uses a split-view layout: device list on the left, detail panel on the right. Multi-column grids and adaptive layouts make it easy to work with many devices on a larger screen. DEEP iOS INTEGRATION IOTExplorer is built with SwiftUI and feels right at home on your device: • Native tab navigation (Discover, Favorites, History) • Pull-to-refresh for manual discovery refresh • Search and filter by device type • System, Light, and Dark mode support • Local Network permission for discovery SUPPORTS 11 IO-TEQ DEVICE FAMILIES IOT-PCM, IOT-AT, SPX5-MODBUS, IOT-DI-600, IOT-DURO-1, IOT-eqOS, IOT-IPS-GTW, IOT-IPS-ANCHOR, IOT-BB, IOT-EIO, and IOT-IRIS — each with tailored actions and capabilities (Find Me, Temp IP, Web, Net Config where supported).
