Secure Every Device on the Factory Floor
Authenticate thousands of IoT sensors, robots, PLCs, and worker devices without complexity. Certificate-based auth, MAC authentication, and dynamic VLAN assignment - all from one cloud platform.
Manufacturing WiFi authentication secures factory floor connectivity for IoT devices, industrial robots, PLCs, and worker handhelds using certificate-based 802.1X, MAC authentication bypass, and dynamic VLAN assignment. IronWiFi bridges OT and IT networks with automated device segmentation, handling 5,000+ concurrent devices per facility across 6 global regions.
Built for Every Manufacturing Environment
From smart factories to warehouse floors, we handle authentication at industrial scale
Smart Factory / Industry 4.0
Authenticate robots, PLCs, and sensors on production lines. Automatic VLAN segmentation keeps OT traffic isolated from IT.
Warehouse Automation
Keep pick systems, barcode scanners, and AGVs connected across massive floor areas. Zero-touch onboarding for new devices.
Quality Control
Connected inspection stations, vision systems, and testing equipment get dedicated network segments with guaranteed bandwidth.
Supply Chain & Logistics
RFID readers, GPS trackers, and logistics terminals stay authenticated across loading docks, yards, and staging areas.
Worker Devices
Rugged tablets, handhelds, and wearables authenticate with certificates pushed via MDM. No shared passwords on the floor.
Campus / Multi-Building
Centralized authentication across multiple buildings and sites. One policy engine, consistent security everywhere.
Purpose-Built IoT Authentication
Our IoT Authentication product handles every type of industrial device - from headless sensors that only support MAC auth to smart controllers running full 802.1X with certificates.
- MAC Authentication Bypass (MAB)
- Certificate-based EAP-TLS
- Device profiling & fingerprinting
- Dynamic VLAN assignment
- Bulk import via REST API
- Instant device revocation
Bridge OT and IT Networks Securely
Converge operational technology and information technology without compromising either
Dynamic VLAN Assignment
Each device type lands on the right network segment automatically. PLCs on OT, tablets on corporate, guest devices isolated - all based on authentication attributes.
Network Segmentation
Keep production systems completely separated from corporate and guest traffic. Our policy engine enforces boundaries at the authentication layer.
Device-Based Policies
Apply different bandwidth limits, access rules, and session timeouts based on device type, certificate attributes, or MAC address patterns.
Built for Industrial Scale
The infrastructure behind your factory floor connectivity
Works With Your Existing Infrastructure
No forklift upgrades - point your access points to our servers and go
Zero Trust Security for the Factory Floor
Every device proves its identity before touching your network
Certificate-Based Authentication
Eliminate shared WiFi passwords from the factory floor. Each device gets its own certificate - compromised device? Revoke it instantly without affecting anything else.
Automated Device Quarantine
Unknown or non-compliant devices get quarantined to an isolated VLAN automatically. Investigate first, grant access second.
Complete Audit Trail
Every authentication event is logged with device identity, timestamp, location, and policy applied. Full visibility for compliance and incident response.
Security and compliance you can count on
Questions From Manufacturing Teams
What operations and IT teams usually ask us
How do you onboard thousands of IoT devices at scale?
Use our REST API or SCEP server to bulk-provision devices. Import MAC addresses from your asset management system, push certificates via MDM, or use device profiling to auto-classify as devices connect.
Can IronWiFi work with our existing brownfield deployment?
Absolutely. We work with any RADIUS-compatible access point including Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, and Meraki. Point your existing APs to our cloud RADIUS servers - no forklift upgrades required.
How does IronWiFi handle OT network compatibility?
We bridge OT and IT through dynamic VLAN assignment. Each device type gets its own network segment automatically - PLCs stay on the OT VLAN, worker tablets on corporate, guests isolated.
What about latency for real-time manufacturing systems?
Authentication happens in under 50ms from our nearest region. Once authenticated, traffic flows directly through your local network - we don't sit in the data path.
What reliability does IronWiFi guarantee?
99.9% uptime SLA backed by redundant infrastructure across 6 global regions. Our platform handles 50M+ authentications per month. If a region goes down, failover is automatic.
How does certificate auth eliminate shared passwords?
Each device gets its own certificate instead of a shared WiFi password. Compromised device? Revoke its certificate instantly without affecting any other device on your floor.
