Edge Gateways with Container Management

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.

Container Apps

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!

Technical highlights

Our edge platforms are based on a secure Linux and offer a web configuration interface and two independent Docker engines. This allows you to freely choose and load the software you want to run on them via containers. Optionally, you can also manage your devices and one of the Docker engines remotely.


You can also optionally use our configurable data proxy to transfer your acquired data in real time first to our cloud and then on to third-party applications around the world. Do you want to remotely access web pages in the device or stream Ethernet logs of connected peripherals to the outside? This is also possible.


The containers, for example OPC UA server/client, industrial network sniffer or various cloud connectors, are available in a repository. In general, netFIELD is compatible with all public or private container repositories.
