Edge Gateway with remote management option
netFIELD Edge devices are intelligent data routers between the operating level (OT) and the information technology (IT) level of automated systems. Using freely loadable software embedded in containers, netFIELD Edge devices autonomously aggregate, process, or transmit IIoT information in parallel with established production and control processes.
A secured Linux, a web configuration interface, and two independently operating container engines form the base of these devices. Via a platform, each device and one of the container engines can optionally be managed remotely. The digital workspace allows the 24/7 life-cycle engineering of your distributed units and their containers from a central location and reduces the management to simple clicks in the user interface so that you can carry out each of your future remote IIoT projects on your own.
The flexibility of the devices is suitable for any kind of IIoT-supported industrial applications – regardless of whether you execute your data mining software directly on the devices or shift data intelligence to any cloud in forwarding scenarios. Furthermore, analyzing methods give you a better insight in plant patterns and relationships for optimization purposes or anomaly recognition. Moreover, you can build digital twins and implement downstream predictive maintenance and condition monitoring solutions with a minimum effort in the shortest time.
