Challenges in planning modern communication networks
Reliability
Problems with communication components often result in machine downtimes and thus expensive production downtimes for your customers. Trust Hilscher as your partner. Our products have a proven track record across several different industries in communicating reliably for decades. Use our technology even in the planning stages to reduce your end customers' operational costs caused by unplanned downtimes.
Remote Management
Die manuelle Überwachung und Verwaltung automatisierter Systeme vor Ort ist zeitintensiv und teuer. Unser netFIELD-Ökosystem bietet Ihnen ein breites Produkt- und Software-Portfolio, um IoT-Projekte in Anlagen aus der Ferne zu überwachen und zu verwalten. So behalten Sie die Anlageneffizienz bereits während der Planung im Fokus und verschaffen sich einen technologischen Vorteil gegenüber klassisch und lokal überwachten Lösungen.
Individuelle IoT-Applikationen
Individuell geplante Produktionsanlagen brauchen spezifische IoT-Applikationen zur Prozessanalyse und -optimierung. In unserer netFIELD-Cloud finden Sie zahlreiche Service-Anwendungen wie das Remote-Device- und Container-Management. Auf deren Basis entwickeln Sie oder Ihre Kunden spezifische containerbasierte Applikationen und deployen diese von zentraler Stelle direkt auf die Edge Devices rund um den Globus.
The right solutions for every 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.
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.
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.
Start your own IoT world with our turn-key app containers. Based on Docker technology, you can easily roll them out centrally and create new business opportunities!
Complexity and variability make optimizing your Real-Time Ethernet network a challenge, because faults need to be found and eliminated as quickly as possible. With Hilscher's netANALYZER and netMIRROR you can reliably monitor your data traffic.
Business benefits thanks to proven and innovative communication solutions
With our multi-protocol cifX PC cards we have a broad portfolio for a wide range of applications for fieldbus and Real-Time Ethernet communication. In addition to common formats such as PCI or PCIe, specific form factors like CompactPCI or PC/104, we also carry the smallest multi-protocol capable cards on the automation market, the compact M.2 format. Whether M12 connectors, extended temperature range, dual-channel cards or remote network interfaces, numerous hardware options also offer the right solution for your production facility planning. Our standard gateways, which are also based on our multi-protocol netX-SoCs, also serve as data converters for flexible fieldbus and Real-Time Ethernet conversions.
Your customers will be able to collect extensive data from their OT devices using our powerful edge gateways. Via Docker applications they can process their data locally or transfer them to a cloud instance. Our netFIELD Cloud with its user-friendly interface provides you with a wide range of containerized applications as a service. This allows you to remotely manage your IoT devices and deploy your own applications globally.
With our netFIELD IO-Link Wireless Master, you can also connect up to 16 IO-Link devices bidirectionally in fieldbus or Real-Time Ethernet networks. An OPC UA server and an MQTT client are also integrated into the rugged IP67 device for IoT connectivity. The device enables your customers to aggregate, diagnose, and configure data in demanding environments independent of their network. We also offer the device as a white-label product for your own rebranding.
By integrating our netMIRROR as a permanent test access point (TAP), you're able to mirror Ethernet traffic without affecting the network. Your customers can connect a diagnostic device without interrupting operation, minimizing downtimes and increasing profitability.
