About Us

ionia Automation technologies is a global technology company developing RF-based industrial automation solutions for the wire and cable manufacturing industry. With our flagship product WENC2, we remove the dependence on slip rings that wired encoder systems create on rotating machines.

Our team has 30+ years of experience in industrial automation. The WENC project began in 2013 and matured over years in real factory environments into today's WENC2.

Every one of our products has been tested for thousands of hours in harsh factory conditions. With technical documentation in 7 languages, a global sales network and remote technical support, we serve customers worldwide.

"Precision engineering, worldwide service."

Industries We Serve

Our products work on wire and cable machines where slip rings struggle

Cable Manufacturing

Wire drawing, braiding and insulation lines

Wire & Rope

Rotating payoffs, bunching and rope stranding

Cranes & Hoists

Cable drums, winches, an alternative to rotary joints

Spooling & Winding

High-speed winders, take-up reels

Extrusion Lines

Capstan wheels, haul-offs, speed feedback

Bunching & Stranding

Rotating cages, closed-loop encoder feedback for the induction motor


Applications

Typical use, from cable machines to the whole plant

BUNCHER

Closed-loop encoder feedback from the rotating cage

On machines with rotating parts such as bunchers, WENC2 carries the encoder signal wirelessly from the rotating side to the drive, so the induction motor runs in closed loop.

Benefit: No slip ring, no brush maintenance
DRAWING & WINDING

Wireless encoder instead of a slip ring

On rotating payoffs, winders and stranding units, the encoder signal travels over 5 GHz, without a slip ring.

Options: 1, 2 or 3 encoders (WENC2-S / D / T)
PLANT FAULT NOTIFICATION

A fault on the night shift: the right person knows at once

Alert SCADA monitors the fault and status contacts in the panel; it sends the alarm to the shift supervisor by Telegram and email and, if it is not acknowledged, escalates it to the next level.

Benefit: No fault goes unnoticed, and every response is logged

Frequently Asked Questions

WENC2 offers a wireless range of 100 m and more on the 5 GHz band, depending on line of sight. In industrial environments, optimal performance is achieved through antenna positioning.

WENC2 supports incremental HTL/TTL encoders with differential A, /A, B, /B signals. On 2-wire encoders, /A and /B are bridged to GND. Encoder power is provided via TX pin 3 as a filtered +23.5V output.

Three models are available: WENC2-S (1 encoder), WENC2-D (2 encoders) and WENC2-T (3 encoders). The choice depends on the number of channels in your application.

No. Settings and records stay on the device, at your site; there is no subscription. Telegram and email notifications are sent over the site's internet connection.

You can order by emailing [email protected] or through the contact form on this page. For custom configurations and volume orders, our technical team will get in touch with you.

All WENC2 products carry a 2-year warranty. You can open a technical support request at [email protected].
