Case Study: Symestic achieves global, reliable IoT connectivity for its cloud MES with EMnify

German Innovator Symestic Enables Digital Factories of the Future With a Cloud-based Mes

Symestic, a German smart‑manufacturing innovator founded in 1999, builds a cloud‑based MES and deploys plug‑and‑play Symestic IoT boxes to digitize factory floors. To reliably transmit machine data from distributed edge gateways and avoid the complexity of dealing with multiple local carriers, Symestic partnered with EMnify for a connectivity platform that goes beyond a standard SIM.

EMnify provided a multi‑network global IoT SIM plus the EMnify Web Portal and OpenVPN for real‑time device visibility, best‑network selection, and secure remote troubleshooting. As a result, Symestic can commission IoT boxes in hours instead of weeks, operate across five continents with fewer on‑site visits, and offer a no‑CAPEX, pay‑per‑use MES alternative that avoids the typical €100k–€1M upfront projects—delivering faster rollouts and lower operational overhead.
