Viaanix

What Viaanix does

Viaanix is an industrial IoT platform company headquartered in Wichita, Kansas, founded in 2012. It builds a full-stack operational platform called ArgusIQ that unifies IoT infrastructure, wireless connectivity, asset management, and AI-powered analytics for enterprises across eight verticals including manufacturing and defense, oil and gas, construction, retail and supply chain, shipbuilding, fuel and fluid management, smart cities, and agriculture. The platform's six-layer architecture spans IoT and RTLS sensors, managed LoRaWAN networking (IoT SimpleLink), the ArgusIQ core platform, offline AI (ArgusAI for air-gapped environments), and an autonomous development platform (ArgusForge) that generates production-ready code from business requirements. The company also sells purpose-built connected hardware products (TankIQ for tank monitoring, VaultIQ for secure tool management, CallIQ for industrial call boxes) and supports white-label OEM arrangements where partners deploy Viaanix's stack under their own brand.

Viaanix generates revenue through a diversified mix of channels: software subscriptions for ArgusIQ (deployed as cloud SaaS, on-premise, private cloud, or air-gapped), hardware sales of industrial IoT devices, professional services for implementation, managed services for LoRaWAN networks, and licensing/royalty arrangements through its OEM program. Pricing is quote-based with multi-tier structures (Gateway as a Service, Backend as a Service, Platform as a Service) and is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting operations leaders at Fortune 500 customers with a self-serve free Starter plan for IoT SimpleLink. Named customers include General Dynamics Land Systems, Austal USA, United Rentals, Occidental Petroleum, Semtech, and Therma-Stor, spanning defense contractors, energy producers, and equipment rental companies. Certifications include SOC 2 Type 2, ITAR-compatible deployment, and FCC/CE/UL/ETL hardware certifications for US-based manufacturing.

Core offering

Viaanix sells a full-stack AI-native industrial IoT platform called ArgusIQ™ that unifies IoT connectivity, RTLS, digital asset twins, CMMS, ticketing, knowledge management, alarm automation, and offline AI into a single operational system for industrial enterprises. The company complements the software platform with purpose-built industrial hardware (TankIQ tank monitoring RTU, VaultIQ secure tool management, CallIQ industrial call box) and a managed LoRaWAN network server (IoT SimpleLink®), all designed, firmware-engineered, and manufactured in-house in Wichita, KS.

Product overview

Viaanix offers ArgusIQ™, an AI-native operational platform serving as the unified operating system for physical operations across 8+ industries. The platform architecture comprises the ArgusIQ™ core platform augmented by AI-powered modules (Ask Argus natural language AI assistant, ArgusAI on-premises AI for air-gapped environments, ArgusForge autonomous development platform, ArgusOps multi-site command dashboards), supported by IoT infrastructure (IoT SimpleLink® fully managed LoRaWAN Network Server, RTLS real-time location system) and the predecessor VX-Olympus IoT Application Enablement Platform. The Connected Solutions family provides purpose-built hardware-software systems including TankIQ industrial tank monitoring RTU, VaultIQ secure tool management, and CallIQ industrial call box. Viaanix operates as a full-stack IoT provider with in-house capabilities spanning hardware design, embedded firmware, cloud platform development, and US-based manufacturing with FCC/CE/UL/ETL certifications, offering white-label/OEM deployment options.
