sensorEDGE aggregates data of up to eight IO-Link sensors and transfers them to a cloud at an interval of a second. This is real plug & play remote machine monitoring, simple and fast made by Hilscher.

sensorEDGEs are managed in a cloud portal where the data can be visualized via flexible dashboards. The build-in cloud API enables streaming the collected sensor data into your own applications in real-time.

Plug&Play – Energize, connect and fetch!

sensorEDGE is designed to work without any additional programming skills. All it needs is just power, an Internet connection and connected IO-Link sensors.

Plug&Play – Buy it, Use it, Benef it!

  • Sensors are auto detected and configured
  • No additional PLC needed
  • Complex sensors can be parameterized onsite

Proven IO-Link – Count on the Industry standard!

sensorEDGE relies on the successful IO-Link technology that reduces installation costs and times, revolutionizes service and maintenance and increases productivity.

sensorEDGE is based on Hilscher's netFIELD technology

  • netFIELD is a cascadable and inheritable ecosystem consisting of end devices, operating system, Docker, software containers and an Internet backend with user portals
  • netFIELD has the aim to load devices automated from remote with any dockerized software to assign them their final application purpose or to keep them updated later
  • netFIELD allows to manage devices efficiently and centrally saving expensive onsite maintenance or diagnostics. A data backend can be used optionally for process data exchanges.

    • Although using just a subset of all possibilities sensorEDGE is a prime life example for a succsessful netFIELD based project. It is inspiring others to feel invited in creating an own tailored netFIELD solution with us
