INDUSTRIAL EDGE DEVICE
IDEA®
Developed in partnership byISI Solutions + Euro Automation
Acquire. Process. Connect. Communicate. An industrial edge device developed in the field, connecting machine data to software and information to the operator.
Enlarge image ↗Born on the factory floor.
IDEA® grew from the industrial collaboration between ISI Solutions s.r.l. and Euro Automation S.r.l., a EuroGroup Laminations company. Its development and evolution took place through real use within EuroGroup Laminations.
Real machines, PLCs, signals, operators and production processes have shaped the technology around production, safeguards, maintenance and data collection needs. IDEA® is available through both ISI Solutions and Euro Automation.
Industrial experience, in numbers.

IDEA® can acquire and analyse data related to machine safeguards. This does not establish a certified safety function and it does not replace machine safeguards.
From data to the operator.
IDEA® + HDMI + DISPLAY
Knowledge, where work happens.
With its HDMI output, IDEA® can connect to a display and provide the basis for a machine-side operator panel. Information and functions depend on the project.
- Production information, machine status and work orders
- Instructions, documents, drawings, procedures and setup
- Training, e-learning and questionnaires
- Alerts and contextual information
Operational point
Brings information and tools to the machine side when used with a display.
Part of the software ecosystem.
IDEA® connects to the software selected for the problem: MES/KPI, planning, maintenance, traceability, documents, learning and analytics. Existing systems can be integrated without adopting the whole ISI ecosystem.
Start with the application.
The following areas link to the operational needs and relevant ISI experiences. The role of IDEA® is defined for each project.
From the device to connected data.
