Connecting to the iOLABS Automations Cloud

The iOLABS Automations Cloud shows the productions, deviations and consumption of each of your plants on your phone or computer. The connection is made by a small iOLABS connector on the plant PC that uploads the data securely and changes nothing in the automation.

What you need

A plant PC running Windows with internet access (a stable connection is enough; no inbound port is required).
An Automations Cloud account for your company. We create it and define the plants.
The connector file and the plant's connection key, provided by support.

Installation

Copy the connector to the plant PC and run it as a Windows service.
In the connector settings, enter the plant key. The connector only reads productions; it changes nothing in iConcrete or iAsphalt.
Check in the Automations Cloud that the plant shows as "online".

How data is uploaded

New productions upload within seconds and the connector regularly checks that nothing is missing, even if the connection drops for a while. If the internet goes down, data is sent as soon as it is back.

What you see in the cloud

A dashboard with m³ (or tonnes for asphalt) per plant, today and this week, and whether the plant is online.
Every production in plant-printout format, with recomputed deviations, printable as PDF.
Analytics per day, recipe and customer; material consumption; water/cement ratio (or bitumen percentage) real versus theoretical; batch duration.
In-app and e-mail alerts, export to CSV/XLSX.

Security

Communication is encrypted, cloud access uses one-time codes (TOTP) and users see only their own company's plants.
