We continously expand the connectibility of VisioNize to further products. Please check our website for current information: www.eppendorf.com/visionize

VisioNize is a cloud-based software, wherefore no software installation is needed.  VisioNize-onboard devices just need to be integrated into your IT network and have to be onboarded to the VisioNize Digital Lab Space. Everything you need to know to follow the different steps can be found here: www.eppendorf.com/visionize-setup

VisioNize can help you improving your lab efficiency by monitoring your devices, introducing advanced notification to report on errors, alarms, and user interactions as well as recurring maintenance tasks. And Eppendorf seeks to continously develop further features for its digital platform.

Lab Managers taking care of the device asset should act as Digital Lab Space administrators. The administrator can add and delete additional users giving them the opportunity to monitor devices and subscribe for notifications.

Currently, we only offer our VisioNize services via our Eppendorf eShop. Subscribe now: www.eppendorf.com/visionize-subscription

No, the basic VisioNize services are free of charge. You only need to have a VisioNize-onboard device with the latest software version.

We want to provide an open platform, enabling also other vendors in our solution and vice versa. Check our website from time to time to receive latest news and updates.

1. An ethernet cable is needed to connect VisioNize-onboard devices to your local network. You will find the IT plug at the back of your device. Note, that a functional ethernet-plug at the location of your device is needed. Your IT department can help you here.
2. If your IT department allows DHCP, enable DHCP or contact your IT department to add the device manually.
3. Check directly onsite of the device: Settings → System settings→ Network: Your device gets an IP assigned like 192.168.0.1, or connect to VisioNize Digital Lab Space. "Enable OPC/REST access" needs to be enabled.

You can try the following things:

1.  In most IT environments your local IT department needs to enable the devices before they can receive an IP address. For that purpose write down the MAC-address of your device (navigate to settings → System settings→ network) and contact your IT department.
2. Or check whether your devices are connected to your local network via a network cable.
3. Or check if the ethernet plug in your rooms are functional (contact your IT department)
4. Or restart your device.

Navigate to Settings → System settings → "VisioNize Setup", and follow the instructions. You will need the administrator credentials to connect devices to VisioNize Digital Lab Space.

Data are stored locally at the device itself and will be sent to the Digital Lab Space after reconnecting.
