What is VION?
VION is an Edge Operations Platform for building, deploying, and operating IoT logic on edge gateways. It is built for system integrators who need to connect hardware, run control logic, and give their customers visibility — without building infrastructure from scratch.
The Big Picture
You write logic in C#. VION Cloud manages deployment and monitoring. The edge runs the logic close to the hardware.
Development Workflow
Everything happens through the Dale CLI — from project creation to cloud deployment. Local testing with DevHost and TestKit means you don't need hardware to develop.
What Runs Where
Logic runs on the edge — close to the hardware, with millisecond latency and offline resilience. VION Cloud handles configuration, deployment, and monitoring but is not in the critical path.
Who Is It For
VION is built for system integrators — companies that develop IoT solutions for their customers. Each integrator manages their own logic block libraries, tenants, and edge gateways independently. Role-based access control is enforced at every level.
