AnyViz is generally hardware-independent – no special connectivity hardware is required. The simplest and most flexible way is to connect via the Universal Cloud Adapter, which can be installed on almost any device or IoT gateway and retrieves data via common automation protocols.

In addition, devices that support native protocols such as LoRaWAN, MQTT, Sparkplug B, or OPC UA PubSub can also be integrated – without any additional installation.

The CODESYS Cloud Adapter is available specifically for CODESYS-based controllers and runs directly within the PLC program.

Simply register for free, create a project, and add devices—you can visualize the first data after just a few minutes. For historical analysis, you can activate data recording for specific tags. Use of the cloud is completely free of charge during the evaluation period.

All you need is an Internet-enabled device and compatible hardware or a supported protocol. The application itself runs entirely in the cloud, so there is no need for installation or complex on-site setup.

Only for connecting devices may it be necessary to set up a cloud adapter or use a supported protocol such as MQTT or LoRaWAN.

The initial evaluation is completely free of charge – there are no costs before a subscription is activated. For productive use, billing is based on the number of tags and the activated data recording.

After selecting a subscription, you will receive an invoice for 3 months in advance. Depending on the subscription, a certain number of tags and a certain amount of recording are available. You can view the standard subscription packages directly in the AnyViz portal after registering.

For larger projects, such as monitoring many machines or devices, we also offer an individual pricing – we would be happy to provide you with a suitable offer.

To establish the connection, simply enter the project ID displayed in the cloud portal and an onboarding password on the device. The exact steps depends on the type of connection selected. Detailed instructions can be found under “Getting Started” or in the online help.

AnyViz aims to be able to capture all technical data. That is why the range of supported protocols is continuously being extended. In addition to the usage of common connectivity protocols such as MQTT or LoRaWAN, AnyViz offers the lightweight Cloud Adapter software component. This supports the common automation protocols used in industry.

Yes, AnyViz also enables secure remote access. VPN can be optionally activated via the Universal Cloud Adapter and initiated directly from the portal. In addition, existing web visualizations can be provided, VNC connections established, or camera images transmitted.

Yes, mobile devices and sensors can also be easily integrated into AnyViz. The Cloud Adapter ensures highly efficient and data-saving communication.

In addition, devices can also be connected via LoRaWAN without additional infrastructure – the energy-efficient wireless protocol is ideal for widely distributed sensors and devices that often have to operate without a fixed power supply.

Even if the connection is lost, your data will not be lost: The AnyViz Cloud Adapter buffers values locally and transfers them automatically as soon as the connection is restored. This behavior is an exclusive feature of the Cloud Adapter – with protocol-based connections such as MQTT, there is no local buffering.

The integrated editor allows you to create dashboards and views without any programming knowledge. Simply drag and drop the relevant tags into the view and select the appropriate vizuals. With dynamic features and interactive click functions, the views can also be designed to be flexible and interactive.

Yes, existing visualizations or any web content can be routed to the cloud via the Universal Cloud Adapter. In addition, access to VNC servers is possible and camera streams can be transmitted directly.

Yes, alarms can be set up individually and forwarded to the responsible persons via email, push notification, SMS, or voice call. Both simple conditions and monitored aggregate values based on defined thresholds can serve as triggers.

Tags can be optionally configured for recording. Various strategies are available, e.g., periodically, when values change, or according to delta. The recorded data can then be conveniently evaluated using various vizuals such as charts or pivot tables.

Yes, AnyViz offers import and export options in many places, both manually and automatically. For example, recorded data can be exported as an Excel file, or reports can be sent automatically by email.

Communication via the Cloud Adapter is encrypted using modern security standards (TLS). In addition, the authenticity of both communication partners is ensured – in addition to server certificate validation, a challenge-response mechanism is used.

For installation-free protocols such as MQTT, an encrypted connection with server certificate validation is also supported.

Your data is stored exclusively in European data centers – with multiple redundancy and encryption. We rely on modern cloud infrastructure that is certified according to international standards (including ISO/IEC 27701) and meets the requirements of the European GDPR.

To protect your data, we deliberately avoid unnecessary third-party services, external content, or tracking software. All project data is secured by Transparent Data Encryption – including backups and logs.

Despite all the security procedures implemented by the cloud operator, secure operation can only be guaranteed if users and system integrators also play an active role. The following measures should therefore be implemented:

• Protect edge devices: All devices should be secured by a firewall that controls or blocks incoming connections.
• Protect credentials: AnyViz access data must not be shared or documented in unencrypted form.
• Secure extended system rights: Accounts with extended rights should also be protected by two-factor authentication.
• Fine-grained access rights: Permissions can be set individually for each user and each project.

Yes, AnyViz can be flexibly integrated into existing systems via APIs. The integration works in both directions: data can be imported into the AnyViz cloud as well as exported from the cloud.

Data from other systems can even be made available from the cloud for connected devices.

AnyViz also offers the option of using the platform as an OEM version with your own branding. This includes the use of a custom domain, a customized design, and the integration of your own logo and product name – allowing you to seamlessly present AnyViz as your own solution.

Yes, AnyViz can be extended far beyond its standard functions. Using the Vizuals Web Content programming interface, individual controls can be programmed with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS – including access to all tags and historical data.
