netFIELD Compact X8M - Edge Gateway with remote management option

ARM-computer platform for containerized applications
  • ARM-processor-compatible embedded computer that suits industrial needs

  • Preloaded 64-bit operating system, web front-end and container engines

  • Open for any containers based on ARM32/64 architecture

  • Reliable platform due to secure booting

  • Central device/container management possible via cloud portal

The netFIELD Edge devices allow you to aggregate, process, and forward IIoT data. They are therefore suitable for all production environments in which PLCs reach their limits when handling the data provided by the IIoT systems. You can evaluate these large data amounts with an augmented intelligence solution directly on your device or in an accompanying cloud.

This allows you a profound insight offering tangible additional benefit, e.g. avoiding downtime or increasing efficiency. Using the integrated docker, your business data and processing jobs can be provided securely and portably via containers.

This means that your software is available on the netFIELD Edge device within a few minutes on any number of devices managed globally via a central web portal.
