The features of Integra IQ OnDevice

Integra IQ OnDevice uses an integrated control and IoT unit (N-Controller) to bring key functions—such as identification, verification, logging, and machine communication—directly to the production line.

Data and Status Logging

  • Collection of process, status, and event data
  • Caching directly on the production line
  • Reliable data storage even during network outages

Identification and Verification

  • Identification of products, pallets, or orders
  • Verification of labels
  • Active prevention of mislabeling

Machine and Production Interfaces

  • Direct connection of machines, conveyor systems, and sensors
  • Processing of start, stop, and status signals
  • Integration into existing production environments

Data exchange via OPC UA

  • Standardized Industrial IoT Communication
  • Secure, vendor-neutral interface
  • Future-proof for Industry 4.0 applications

PACKML support

  • Unified status model for machines and production lines
  • Clear process and status communication
  • Improved transparency in the production process

Weihenstephan Standards

  • Specifically designed for applications in the food and beverage industry
  • Standardized transfer of machine and process data to higher-level IT systems

ERP integration

  • Feedback on labeling and production data
  • Secure integration with ERP and IT systems

The N-Controller – the foundation of Integra IQ OnDevice

The N-Controller is an integrated control and IoT unit for printing and labeling systems. Compared to PC-based control systems, these specialized units offer the following advantages:

  • No additional industrial PC required
  • Compact integration on the machine and in control cabinets
  • Reduced maintenance and servicing requirements
  • High stability and long service life in continuous operation
  • No dependence on operating systems such as Windows
  • Significantly less susceptible to system crashes and cyberattacks
  • Ideal for decentralized Industrial IoT architectures

Typical use cases for Integra IQ OnDevice

Integra IQ OnDevice is a key component for Industrial IoT solutions in the field of labeling. By combining on-device intelligence, standardized protocols, and integration with central systems, it enables the creation of stable, scalable, and secure IoT architectures for the following applications:

  • Autonomous labeling directly on the production line
  • Reliable labeling in unstable network environments
  • Decentralized identification and verification of products
  • Combination of automatic and manual labeling
  • Industrial IoT-based traceability of labeling data

Your benefits with Integra IQ OnDevice

Integra IQ OnDevice enables robust, fail-safe marking processes—even in demanding industrial environments. For you, this means:

  • High reliability – thanks to decentralized data processing
  • True real-time performance – no delays caused by background processes
  • Reduced system complexity – thanks to PC-free operation
  • Lower operating costs – N-controllers are robust and maintenance-free
  • Smart Factory compatibility – IoT-enabled architecture for connected production

Additional modules for Integra IQ OnDevice

Integra IQ OnDevice can be used as a standalone solution or expanded modularly and combined with other Integra IQ modules. This enables the creation of robust, IoT-enabled end-to-end solutions for manufacturing and logistics.
