IOI is Oway’s industrial data layer and common protocol for connecting existing business systems with facilities, machines, fleets, and partners. It normalizes information from sources such as ERP, EDI, mainframes, documents, spreadsheets, and telemetry into a company-specific, queryable data lake based on an open schema. People, software, and AI agents can use IOI to read operational data and perform actions such as writing updates, requesting production, quoting, booking, tendering, and tracking. Access is permissioned, and IOI also supports IOI Search, APIs, and MCP.
