IDA collects data from sensors and production machines, centralises it in the cloud and turns it into dashboards, alarms, reports and analytics you open in a browser. The market offers many vertical tools: IDA governs them with a single data architecture.
SaaS, no installation. Multi-plant and multi-user. Data updated in real time.
Protocols we connect
How the data gets inData that exists but stays apart
In manufacturing SMEs production data is fragmented: every machine or vendor uses proprietary protocols, vertical software does not interoperate, ERP, MES and BMS stay isolated. Energy visibility is poor and maintenance stays reactive.
IDA builds a single orchestration layer: it connects heterogeneous devices regardless of manufacturer, protocol or plant age, and centralises everything in one data base for analytics, KPIs and decisions. It does not replace your existing systems: it feeds them.
Machines from different manufacturers, meters, sensors and business software converge into one layer, regardless of brand, protocol and plant age.
Consumption, inefficiencies and energy costs visible in real time. OEE surfaces the productive hours you lose, even when performance data does not exist yet.
Emissions are not a year-end report: they are a figure that runs alongside consumption, ready for environmental certification paths.
Three layers, nothing to install on your side
Sensors, meters, PLCs and machines send data to the cloud over HTTPS with a unique token, or through the IDA Gateway over encrypted MQTT when the network is segmented or the machines are legacy.
Telemetry is validated and stored as time series. This is where the alarm engine, OEE calculation, reports and maintenance run. Communication is bidirectional: IDA can send commands back to devices.
A web interface in any browser, nothing to install. Real-time dashboards, on-demand or scheduled reports, access controlled by team, role and plant.
Hardware-light: where the existing infrastructure is enough, IDA uses it. Where it is not, Maxfone supplies energy meters, gateways, edge devices and sensors to make the legacy fleet measurable too.
From raw data to business indicator
Device profiles speed up activation, groups aggregate lines and departments, Scenes combine variables from several machines into one KPI: specific consumption in kWh per unit, efficiency, availability, aggregated output. Without writing a line of code.
Everything described here is in production today, not on the roadmap.
Profili dispositivo e Scene
Scatto reale: un profilo con variabili, unita' e soglie, e una Scena che combina piu' macchine in un KPI.
Modular by construction, interoperable by project
Drag-and-drop widgets
Composable dashboards per department, line or shift: charts, gauges, KPI cards, tables, maps, heatmaps and energy plan. Sharing by team, public link or iframe, CSV and Excel export.
Availability × performance × quality
OEE at machine, department or company level, with configurable machine states, shifts and production calendars. When performance data is missing, availability and quality are still computed.
Learn moreThresholds, logic, missing data
Rules on thresholds and composite conditions with priority, acknowledge and history. Automatic actions range from email, Telegram, WhatsApp and Web Push to a direct command to the machine.
Learn moreCalendar, counter, condition
Three planning models, an intervention calendar, due-date notifications and a log of completed work, with MTBF and MTTR computed from history. Spare-parts stock linked to interventions.
Learn moreOn-demand or scheduled
Energy, OEE and machine availability reports, alarm and maintenance summaries. Automatic delivery by email daily, weekly or monthly, with PDF export.
Multi-user, multi-plant
Four roles - Administrator, User, Operator, Guest - with per-plant visibility restrictions and two-factor authentication. Every customer works in their own isolated tenant.
Dashboard drag-and-drop
UI ricostruita col design system del sito, non uno screenshot: griglia di widget, gauge e KPI in stile linee e box.
No-MES scenario
For companies without a MES, IDA runs in semi-MES mode: operator declarations from a tablet, job start and stop, order and scrap tracking. Linking order, machine, energy, operator and material gives you energy cost per job, kWh per batch and CO₂eq per product.
Emissions measured like consumption
CO₂eq estimated in real time with dynamic carbon intensity data, water consumption monitoring per plant and process, support for ISO 50001, 14067, 14064 and EPD paths.
Maxfone is a Benefit Corporation: positive impact is part of the articles of association, before it is part of the product.

The investment qualifies for tax relief
IDA guarantees device interconnection and generates the systematic reporting required to obtain the tax credit and keep it over time.
Support for ex-ante and ex-post certification with precise measurement of efficiency gains through IoT energy dashboarding (Italian Law 56/2024).
As an AI and IoT application, IDA falls among the eligible intangible assets listed in Annexes IV and V (Italian Law 199/2025).
Validations
Solution validated by IMQ and RINA for technical compliance, operational reliability and sustainability.
One department, then it grows
Every project starts with a demo on your own data and a read of the existing infrastructure, which produces a proposal sized on the real case. Then the annual subscription and, only where needed, the IoT hardware supply.
Up to 20 devices
SMEs taking their first step into digitalisation: you start from one line or one department.
Up to 40 devices
Companies with several lines or departments that want a comparable read of the whole plant.
Unlimited devices
Structured, multi-plant companies, and machine builders monitoring the machines installed at their end customers.
We look together at the infrastructure, machines and data already available in the plant. From there we define what can be connected right away, what needs a gateway and which indicators pay off first.
