Adroit Technologies has been appointed by Iochpe-Maxion, parent company of one of the world’s largest wheel manufacturers and producers of structural components in the Americas, as its global SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) partner.
Built around Adroit Technologies’ SCADA solution and the Adroit Edge Gateway software, the solution enables data collection, analysis and integration, unifying operational oversight.
The partnership will standardise operational visibility, reliability, and control across 34 manufacturing facilities worldwide, a major milestone in Maxion’s digital transformation strategy to unify data integration, cybersecurity, and performance management across continents.
“Since deploying Adroit Technologies’ SCADA solution globally, we have connected 15 plants, giving specialists real-time visibility to improve processes and products,” says Esteban Remecz, Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Iochpe-Maxion. “This is a gamechanger. Having a unified system across sites enables us to accelerate problem-solving, reduce downtime, and improve quality.”
Esteban notes that the system allows early detection of process deviations and asset behaviour changes, enabling remedial action before major failures occur. “This proactive approach has significantly reduced unplanned downtime and emergency maintenance costs. The ability to plan production and avoid disruptions is a direct result of the intelligent tools and close collaboration we have developed with Adroit Technologies.”
Johan Nieuwenhuizen, Sales Director and co-CEO at Adroit Technologies, says the appointment underscores Adroit’s long-standing reputation as a trusted global partner in industrial automation, SCADA, IIoT, and OT cybersecurity. “We have established a strong reputation over more than three decades as a partner in industrial digital transformation,” he says.
Esteban adds that Maxion’s evolution with SCADA systems had reached a point where “simply collecting data on the shopfloor was no longer enough. We needed a partner who could help us unlock the full potential of that data across all levels of the organisation. Adroit Technologies stood out for its technical capabilities, such as advanced visualisation, security, and integration, as well as its collaborative spirit.”
From the start, Adroit Technologies demonstrated a deep understanding of Maxion’s needs and a commitment to building a long-term strategic partnership. “That drive, trust, and alignment were key in selecting them as our global SCADA partner,” notes Esteban.
With over 35 000 licences deployed across six continents, Adroit Technologies has proven its ability to deliver scalable, secure, and future-ready SCADA solutions in complex industrial environments. “Iochpe-Maxion required a global partner capable of unifying diverse systems, ensuring cybersecurity compliance and long-term reliability,” Nieuwenhuizen highlights.
Iochpe-Maxion’s objective was to consolidate multiple heterogeneous control systems into a single, standardised SCADA architecture that delivers real-time and historical data aggregation across its global operations. Adroit Technologies met this requirement through protocol-agnostic integration supporting more than 100 industrial drivers, including OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, and BACnet.
Built around Adroit Technologies’ SCADA solution and the Adroit Edge Gateway software, the solution enables data collection and exchange with enterprise MES and ERP systems, unifying information flows and supporting centralised operational oversight. This architecture provides a secure and flexible foundation for advanced analytics, predictive maintenance, and continuous improvement across all plants.
“The system provides real-time visibility into plant operations, ensuring everyone is aligned, informed, and empowered to act,” says Esteban. “We have shifted from a fragmented and reactive reality to a proactive, integrated mindset that enables real-time monitoring, early deviation detection, and predictive insights. It allows us to understand each bit of data generated by our equipment and processes.”
