The netFIELD edge management platform is a reliable and scalable platform for implementing your own Industrial IoT solution at the IT-OT edge or a hybrid: from remote maintenance of machines and predictive maintenance to new data-driven service business models. netFIELD supports both IIoT retrofitting and completely redesigned solutions. When you rely on netFIELD, you’re profiting from Hilscher’s years of experience in industrial communication and automation solutions for the proven implementation of IT-OT convergence and Industry 4.0 solutions.

Scaling Industrial IoT to larger numbers of machines, edge gateways, and edge software components is a challenge that is often underestimated. Operating edge gateways and the edge computing applications that run on them requires regular maintenance of the operating system, dis¬tributed software, IIoT data streams and integration with automation networks. netFIELD is our answer to these challenges.

  • Efficient orchestration of distributed edge applications
  • Ready-to-use infrastructure enables immediate launch of digital business models
  • Centralized management of any edge device and entire device fleets
  • Scaled for businesses with hierarchical organization structures

How ist the edge management platform of netFIELD set up?

netFIELD is an offering made to manage device fleets and their software over a central entity.

Each netFIELD Cloud entity is split in the two sub-entities: netFIELD Portal and netFIELD Platform.

netFIELD Portal is the frontend where a user can access, control, monitor and manage devices and their software in container format.

netFIELD Platform is the entity's backend or better said the backbone and is an API call interface to execute the very same management tasks but from computer programs or through third party tools automated.
