Managed Industrial IoT: Hilscher further develops its holistic netFIELD portfolio
Hattersheim, 31. May 2023 – Hilscher Gesellschaft für Systemautomation mbH is constantly working on the optimization and expansion of its managed industrial IoT product portfolio. Under the netFIELD brand, the specialist for industrial communication technologies offers a unified holistic ecosystem for modern, cloud-based Industry 4.0 solutions. The infrastructure components enable efficient management of network-integrated industrial environments—from sensors to the cloud. This provides users with extensive options for aggregating, processing, and monetizing their asset data. The release of netFIELD OS 2.4, Hilscher’s runtime environment for edge devices, is yet another building block in its holistic solution.
Enhanced thanks to customer feedback
Hilscher has a broad know-how in both worlds: IT and OT. In dialog with customers, the specialist for industrial communications is constantly developing its managed industrial IoT portfolio, consisting of an edge management platform, turnkey application containers, edge gateways and the netFIELD OS. With the release of netFIELD OS 2.4, Hilscher delivers performance improvements and extended configuration options for its runtime environment for edge devices.
About netFIELD OS:
netFIELD OS is a lean operating system optimized for operation between a fieldbus network, the corporate network, and the cloud application. The operating system and Docker applications can be managed centrally. It also enables transparent remote access to all components. The UI of the local device manager lets the user manage all settings and services, which can be extended via an open and documented plug-in mechanism.
IoT is increasingly making its way into industry. But managing the growing number of networked, heterogeneous devices is increasingly presenting businesses with new problems. The difficulty is that not only the edge devices, but also their software, data streams, and many other aspects need to be managed. So a holistic approach is always necessary to seamlessly implement IT-OT convergence. But once mastered, companies are able to tap into enormous potential for increasing performance, productivity, flexibility, and sustainability.
