The product
Rud1 is two pieces that talk to each other so you do not have to do anything weird.
The physical device
A small box you place in your workshop or factory. It bridges your machines and your computer.
The control panel
A web app and a desktop app to see your devices and connect to them with one click, from any computer.
How it works
Your equipment connects to the Rud1, the Rud1 connects to the cloud encrypted, and you reach it from your computer as if you were standing in front of it.
Your equipment
PLCs, controllers, Arduinos, sensors…
Rud1 device
Acts as the secure bridge
You, anywhere
From your computer or phone
Compatible with PLCs, programmable controllers, microcontrollers, Ethernet/USB sensors and just about any industrial equipment.
What it is for
This is what technicians, programmers and maintenance leads are doing with Rud1.
Push programs to your PLCs as if the USB cable was plugged in, even if the machine sits in another city or country.
See values, alarms and production in real time, right from the panel.
Connect in seconds when they call you, and get the line back to production.
Give permissions to technicians, external integrators or customers with one click. Revoke them when they are done. Each person sees only the machines they are allowed to.
Office, home, hotel, phone. If you have internet, you have access.
Why Rud1
You do not need to know about networks, IPs or firewalls. Plug it in and get to work.
Every connection is encrypted end to end. Only the people you authorize can see your equipment.
No router setup, no port forwarding, nothing to ask the IT department.
Wi-Fi, ethernet or SIM card. If the plant network drops, it keeps going.
Invite your team, assign roles and keep a log of who did what and when.
Your virtual USB cable: program controllers and devices as if you were next to them.
From opening the box to being connected: less than 5 minutes.
Getting started is easy
No manuals, no complicated installs. Anyone can do it.
Connect it to power and to your network. It boots up in seconds.
Scan the QR on the box or type the code from the sticker.
Plug your equipment into the Rud1 and start working from anywhere.
