Industrial Data Xchange and PRONETIQS Partnership Brings Advanced Diagnostics to Sub-Saharan Africa

23 April 2026

We are excited to announce our partnership with Pronetiqs, a Netherlands-based software development and diagnostics specialist. This collaboration brings advanced industrial diagnostics and network visibility solutions to South African industries, supporting a shift toward smarter operations that drive operational excellence.

Together, IDX and Pronetiqs are enabling manufacturers and industrial operators to move beyond reactive maintenance toward predictive, data-driven operational excellence.

Introducing PRONETIQS

Pronetiqs is a software and diagnostics specialist focused on monitoring the behaviour of internal control loops in industrial machines and processes. Their solutions provide early visibility into equipment wear and performance issues, often long before failures occur.

With decades of industry expertise, Pronetiqs also offers consultancy, training, and network support to help plants strengthen connectivity and overall performance.

Smarter Monitoring: From Machines to Networks

At the core of this partnership are two powerful solutions designed to give complete visibility across industrial environments:

1. Smart Industrial Diagnostics (SID)

SID is a predictive maintenance solution that continuously monitors control loop behaviour to detect early signs of wear and degradation. Unlike traditional monitoring methods, SID uses mathematical algorithms (not AI) to identify subtle changes in machine performance, providing actionable insights.

Key benefits:

  • Early detection of faults before failure
  • No additional sensors or hardware required
  • Operates fully locally (no cloud dependency)
  • Scales from single machines to full facilities
  • Fast deployment with insights available within minutes

By analysing variables such as setpoints and control signals, SID identifies patterns that indicate developing issues, giving your technical team time to act before production is impacted.

2. IntraVUE

IntraVUE provides a real-time, visual map of your entire Operational Technology (OT) network. It automatically discovers connected devices and displays them in a live topology, giving your technical team immediate insight into network performance and potential risks.

Key benefits:

  • Automatic asset discovery and network mapping
  • Continuous monitoring of device health and connectivity
  • Detection of intermittent and hidden network faults
  • Multi-VLAN visibility from a single deployment
  • Real-time alerts for faster troubleshooting

In environments where network documentation is often outdated, IntraVUE delivers a single source of truth, reducing operational and cybersecurity risks.

What This Partnership Means

Through this partnership, the South African industry gains direct access to globally proven technology, supported by local expertise from IDX.

Customers can expect:

  • Local sales and technical support
  • Seamless integration with existing infrastructure
  • Customised solutions for specific operational environments
  • Training and ongoing support from both teams

By combining IDX’s industrial expertise with Pronetiqs diagnostics intelligence, plants can:

  • Reduce unplanned downtime
  • Improve asset reliability
  • Optimise maintenance strategies
  • Enhance overall operational efficiency
  • Driving the Future of Industry

This partnership represents a long-term commitment to enabling operational excellence across the African industry.
