The GEMÜ Group, a specialist in valve, measurement and control technology, presents CONEXO 2025, the next generation of its digital solution for cross-manufacturer plant lifecycle management. The new version sets standards in the digital identification and management of components and creates end-to-end transparency across the entire life cycle - from commissioning to disposal.

Using modern technologies such as RFID, QR code and DataMatrix, CONEXO 2025 enables the unique identification of components directly in the system and links them with digital product data, maintenance information and obsolescence status.

A simple scan is all it takes to give service technicians immediate access to relevant documents, certificates, maintenance histories and upcoming tasks.

Open. Standards-based. Future-proof.

CONEXO 2025 is based on international standards and already meets the requirements of future regulations such as the Digital Product Passport (DPP). Unique identification is made possible by QR codes, DataMatrix and UHF RFID (860-960 MHz), which ensures cross-manufacturer interoperability in accordance with ISO/IEC standards. The new EU ESPR regulation will make the DPP mandatory for the first product groups from 2027. CONEXO 2025 is prepared to process the corresponding data and link it to the Asset Administration Shell (AAS). Machine-readable identifiers in accordance with IEC 61406 serve as a URL-based reference directly on the physical object and enable access to digital information, for example via 2D codes or NFC tags. CONEXO also uses the AAS as a manufacturer-independent standard for digital twins in Industry 4.0 and relies on the open file format AASX to facilitate the exchange between operators, manufacturers and service partners.

New functions with CONEXO 2025

CONEXO 2025 offers a wide range of new functions that make digital plant management even more efficient and future-proof. In the area of obsolescence management, the solution enables the early detection of critical conditions such as recalls or product discontinuations and automatically creates suitable replacement tasks. Component management has been significantly expanded: alias names allow individual designations, location paths show the exact installation situation, complete assemblies can now be removed en masse, all associated documents can be downloaded as a ZIP file and the identification of packaging labels has been improved.

The management of technical locations has also been optimized. A QR code can be generated for each location and the robust import/export with "Identification Alias" ensures smooth data transfer. Maintenance tasks can now be supplemented by subtasks, a calendar view makes planning easier, and internal and external notes provide additional space for information. In product management, CONEXO 2025 supports Excel import and allows you to add your own manufacturer attributes. A new mobile device overview shows all connected devices including their information and synchronization status - for maximum transparency and control.

Added value

With CONEXO 2025, users benefit from a significant increase in safety and compliance: the clear identification of components and the complete documentation of all measures reduce risks and facilitate audits - including recalls and certification obligations. At the same time, the solution increases productivity in service and maintenance by minimizing search times, avoiding media disruptions and enabling a higher "right first time" resolution rate. Thanks to the scalable combination of physical identification methods such as QR code, RFID and IEC 61406 with digital twins (AAS/AASX) and the Digital Product Passport (DPP), CONEXO 2025 is ideally equipped for future requirements - across all manufacturers and systems.

With CONEXO 2025, GEMÜ offers a powerful and future-proof solution for digital plant management that meets the increasing demands for transparency, efficiency and compliance with standards, paving the way for a new era of industrial digitalization.
