Why industrial companies build their product line on Exosite.
Picking a platform vendor isn't just a technology decision — it's a bet on who your product depends on for the next five years. It's choosing a Partner.
Built for equipment makers and designers, not enterprise IT departments.
Most IoT platforms are built first for enterprise IT buyers who are running their own factories. Exosite is built for a different customer: the OEM, machine builders, service providers. Teams who need to stand behind the software as an extension of their equipment.
Designed for Mechanical and Electrical Engineers, for those who work in the world of Controls or Embedded Firmware, and for equipment provider Service teams.
Here's what companies tell us matters most when they choose to build on Exosite:
Easy to use
ExoSense® provides a code-less environment for configuring digital assets, rules, permissions, and visualizations — most teams learn it in an afternoon. It supports industrial use cases across any machine, equipment, or asset type, not just one.
15+ years of IoT expertise
Founded in 2009, Exosite has spent over 15 years deploying connected products into the market and supporting the OEMs who build them. We work as a partner, not just a vendor, and put that expertise behind your success.
Flexible deployment
Run on Exosite's managed, multi-tenant cloud, choose a dedicated managed deployment for greater flexibility around scaling, data location, and additional services, or go fully on-premise. That flexibility means one platform can support a genuinely diverse set of use cases and requirements.
Built for multi-tenant products
Makers of machines, equipment, and products can onboard their own assets and customers into a white-labeled experience, with the workflow tools to keep iterating on the data pipeline and analytics — or use it internally to get the insight.
Low barriers from POC to commercial
Exosite's pricing model, fast deployment, and onboarding packages get you to a proof-of-concept in days — not the multi-year buildout of assembling AWS IoT or Azure IoT Hub yourself. From there, our team guides you through scaling and commercializing the offering.
Scalability
Exosite's cloud deployment has been tested to handle more than 1 million devices and scales automatically as load grows, with fleet-management features built to keep pace as your device count and user base grow with it.

Recognition →Skip the years of platform engineering you don't actually want to own.
An AI tool can mock up a working dashboard in an afternoon — that's not the hard part anymore. What it won't do is build the multi-tenant access model, the fleet-scale data pipeline, the uptime and security operations, or the years of feature requests that show up after your first real customer signs on. That's the part that actually takes the time — and the part Exosite already does for you.

Running underneath, from day one
Fleet-scale infrastructure, security, uptime, continuation, and feature development — not a step you take, just always on.
Organizations who have deployed solutions with Exosite
Builds massive test rigs that put cars, aircraft, and materials through their paces — and some of the industry's leading hydraulic power units.
Makes ultrasonic ‘stethoscopes’ for machines, catching leaks, worn bearings, and electrical faults long before they cause a failure.
Builds the heavy-duty diesel engines that power U.S. Navy ships — an engine maker trusted since the 1890s.
Designs the rugged joysticks, controls, and displays that let operators run off-highway and mobile equipment with precision.
Builds the industrial air filtration systems that keep factory floors breathable — from welding fumes to wood dust.
The garage door company behind Aladdin Connect, bringing smart-home convenience to one of the least ‘smart’ corners of the house.
Built sensors that tell a concrete truck driver if their load is going bad — while there's still time to fix it.
The company that invented modern air conditioning in 1902 — still a global leader in HVAC and refrigeration today.
In their words.
"Exosite invested in our IoT vision—their process made us feel like partners as we collaborated to develop our commercial offering. They rose to the challenge to meet an aggressive timeline and delivered tangible value to our customers, while achieving the right price to sustain our offering into the future."
Trey Taylor
Solutions Sales Manager, Fairbanks Morse
"Our internally developed platform required significant investments and additional engineering resources in order to maintain stability and drive customer satisfaction. Exosite provided a solution that is scalable and reduced the cost of platform maintenance with more feature enhancements to support growth. Leveraging their expertise allowed us to focus on our core competency and drive real value for our customers."

A partner in the business, not just the software.
Exosite acts as a partner, not just a software vendor:
- Consults with you on your business objectives, not just the technical requirements.
- Offers engineering and support at each step, from first release through ongoing rollout.
- Works with you on the business model — pricing, packaging, and how the offering is positioned.
We operate the infrastructure — so your team doesn't have to. Deploying a connected product is the easy part. Operating it for years, across every customer site, is where most in-house builds get expensive.
24/7 Operations
Exosite's DevOps team handles the complexities of cloud deployment, uptime, and scale — not your team.
Continuous Updates
New platform functionality and software upgrades ship on our schedule, not as a project your engineers have to staff.
