DEVICE CONNECTION & GROUP MANAGEMENT
Connect hundreds of devices,
manage them as groups.
Connect everything from Windows, Linux and macOS to industrial and embedded devices to INNORIX. Group connected devices by region, site, device type or purpose, ready to distribute files to many devices at once.
As devices are added or replaced, Studio keeps connection status and group membership up to date.

The 89 devices in the Factory A group are now the target of a file distribution.
DEVICE CONNECTION
Each device connects the way its environment allows.
Windows, Linux and macOS devices connect by installing INNORIX and signing in.
Embedded devices connect with a pre-configured profile, and mobile devices can use QR authentication.
Connected devices are viewed and managed in Studio Devices.

Whatever the operating system, connected devices are managed in the same Devices list.
DEPLOYMENT GROUP MANAGEMENT
Organize targets into groups, and manage them all at once.
Group devices by operational purpose, such as factory, branch, device type or software version.
Select several devices to add or move them into a group, and target the whole group when distributing files.
No more picking devices one by one for every distribution.

BULK DEVICE PROVISIONING
Hundreds of devices, without repeating the connection work.
Apply a pre-configured installation package and connection settings to a large number of devices so they connect to INNORIX automatically.
Bulk provisioning connects industrial devices on site and multiple servers efficiently, and organizes the connected devices into groups.

DEVICE LIFECYCLE & GROUP MAINTENANCE
Groups hold together as devices are added or replaced.
When an existing device goes offline or a new one connects, its status shows in Studio.
Add devices to a group or remove them, and keep the distribution target group current.
The target of a distribution job stays consistent even as the operating environment changes.
