The netFIELD products enable the remote management of a large fleet of edge gateways and industrial PCs for Industrial IoT. netFIELD configures and monitors the operation of your edge gateways via a central tool and distributes your edge software as a container to the devices.
Scaling Industrial IoT to larger numbers of machines, edge gateways, and edge software components is a challenge that is often underestimated. The operation of the edge gateways and edge computing applications running on them requires a regular maintenance effort for the operating system, distributed software, IIoT data streams, and integration into the automation networks. Monitoring is added to all these levels to always ensure the proper function of the overall solution.

The platform enables you to efficiently operate, manage, and scale edge gateways and IIoT applications—whether cloud-connected, hybrid, or fully on-premise.
The PCI bus is an established standard in automation and is widely used in many areas. Our PCI cards can be used universally for all fieldbus and Real-Time Ethernet protocols.
Communication solutions often consist of components from different manufacturers. This results in high complexity, lower performance and tedious configurations with different tools. Our platform strategy offers everything from a single source - to your advantage! Read more.
Overview of our netX communication controllers. As a highly integrated solution, they allow you to flexibly integrate your machines and production systems into your network regardless of the network standard. We provide hardware, software, certification and support from a single source.
Embedded modules from Hilscher are the ideal solution for integrating a fieldbus or Real-Time Ethernet interface into a compact automation device. They allow field devices such as drives or controllers to be quickly and easily integrated into automated systems.
Our gateways are used to transfer and convert data between industrial automation networks. They offer a simple and cost-effective solution for any type of data conversion, whether used with fieldbus, Ethernet or Real-Time Ethernet systems or a combination thereof.
Hattersheim, 10. Nov. 2025 – Hilscher has released a new version of netFIELD Cloud, the device management platform of Hilscher’s Industrial IoT offering. The new version, called netFIELD Cloud 4.0, features a redesigned user interface with a new home screen and fleet dashboards, improvements to the platform's usability as well as added features such as a one-click remote access.
Implement the entire range of industrial communication protocols with just one module. netJACK is the universal solution for all applications that require master or slave functionalities.
Our gateways connect your SmartWire-DT devices and components into higher-level Real-Time Ethernet networks—saving you time with a flexible modular design. Save development costs and rely on intelligent wired solutions with SmartWire-DT and Hilscher.
Equip your robots, PLCs or drives with a network interface. comX is the universal solution for all applications that require master or slave functionalities.
The SPE Media Switch connects Single Pair Ethernet with Industrial Ethernet networks. netSWITCH enables you to connect conventional Ethernet systems with Real-Time Ethernet networks.
netIC is your ideal slave solution for simple field devices with a low data throughput, such as barcode scanners, identification systems, valve manifolds and input/output modules.
The remote network interfaces AIFX for our cifX PC cards give you flexibility in designing your PC-based automation solution. From fieldbus systems like PROFIBUS connectors to M12 connectors for harsh industrial environments to Ethernet ports in RJ45 format for all Real-Time Ethernet standards - choose the solution that suits you best.
cifX PC cards are the easiest and fastest way to integrate PC-based devices into an automated environment. Based on our netX communication controllers, you get access to all protocols – in any form factor for any application.
Our edge gateways are intelligent data routers between the automation level and the information technology level. They aggregate, process or transmit additional IoT information of your production process completely autonomously—locally or via the cloud.
