GEMÜ presents CONEXO 2025 – The new era of digital plant management

The GEMÜ Group, a specialist in valve, measurement, and control technology, introduces CONEXO 2025, the next generation of their digital solution for cross-manufacturer plant lifecycle management. The new version sets standards in digital identification and management of components and creates comprehensive transparency throughout the entire lifecycle – from commissioning to disposal.

Using modern technologies such as RFID, QR code, and DataMatrix, CONEXO 2025 enables the unambiguous identification of components directly within the plant and links them to digital product data, maintenance information, and obsolescence status.
A simple scan is enough to give service technicians immediate access to relevant documents, certificates, maintenance histories, and upcoming tasks.

Open. Standard-based. Future-proof.

CONEXO 2025 is based on international standards and already meets the requirements of upcoming regulations such as the Digital Product Passport (DPP). Unique identification is enabled through QR codes, DataMatrix, and UHF-RFID (860–960 MHz), ensuring cross-manufacturer interoperability according to ISO/IEC standards. The new EU regulation ESPR makes the DPP mandatory for initial product groups from 2027. CONEXO 2025 is prepared to process corresponding data and link it with the Asset Administration Shell (AAS). Machine-readable identifiers according to IEC 61406 serve as URL-based references directly on the physical object and allow access to digital information, for example via 2D codes or NFC tags. Furthermore, CONEXO uses the AAS as an industry-independent standard for digital twins in Industry 4.0 and relies on the open file format AASX to facilitate exchange between operators, manufacturers, and service partners.

New features with CONEXO 2025

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

The management of technical sites has also been optimized. A QR code can be generated for each site, and the robust import/export with "Identification Alias" ensures smooth data transfer. Maintenance tasks can now be supplemented with sub-tasks, a calendar view facilitates planning, and internal as well as external notes provide additional space for information. In product management, CONEXO 2025 supports Excel import and allows extension with custom manufacturer attributes. A new mobile device overview displays all connected devices, including their information and synchronization status – for maximum transparency and control.

Added value

Users benefit from a significant increase in security and compliance with CONEXO 2025: The unambiguous identification of components and the seamless documentation of all measures reduce risks and facilitate audits – up to 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 first-time fix rate ("Right First Time"). Thanks to the scalable connection of physical identification methods such as QR codes, RFID, IEC 61406 with digital twins (AAS/AASX), and the Digital Product Passport (DPP), CONEXO 2025 is well prepared for future requirements – cross-manufacturer and system-open.

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, paving the way into a new era of industrial digitalization.
