THE FUTURE IS INTELLIGENT AND CONTAINERIZED
Hilscher, a leader in industrial communication, has launched a unified IoT technology portfolio and named it netFIELD.
It includes
YOUR DIGITAL IIOT TRANSFORMATION WITH OUR MANAGED EDGE DEVICES
Devices of netFIELD Edge complement the factory floor when PLCs alone come to their limits in IIoT based instrumentations delivering loads of data. They aggregate, compute or forward with power. Your augmented intelligence software either device deployed or on a companion cloud exploits the information flood turning it into factory insights to gain beneficial value outcome like reducing downtimes or increasing efficiency.
The integrated Docker enables the deployment of any business logic and computing jobs wrapped up into secure and portable containers. In minutes your software is shifted to the local edge on any number of devices managed worldwide through a complementing web portal.
BUILDING A CUSTOMER SOLUTION IS LIKE AN ORCHESTRATION
A huge choice of availabe application containers can be networked to complete the costumer solution with a minimum of development effort.
ENABLE BROWN-FIELD MACHINERY FOR IOT APPLICATIONS
Equipping brown-field machinery with condition monitoring and data analytics applications allows to get the IoT-benefit out of existing machine installations. The netFIELD App PROFINET Tap allows extracting machinery process data simply by monitoring the existing network traffic. There is no need to change PLC or machine configuration. It works with any PROFINET network, independent of PLC or device vendor.

IO-LINK DEVICES WITH REAL-TIME ETHERNET
netFIELD Device technology platform connects IO-Link sensors – wired or wireless – with demanding Real-Time Ethernet networks. For confi guration and diagnostics an integrated OPC UA server with IO-Link companion profi le is used. It combines established netX 90 technology with Hilscher’s new netIOL chip – an intelligent IO-Link transceiver with additional diagnostics to detect plant errors.
