Product catalog summary
Overview
netFIELD Unity is an open edge computing platform designed for demanding industrial applications, facilitating IT/OT connectivity. It supports container apps for flexible functionality and adheres to the latest cybersecurity standards. The platform offers centralized device and container management, simplifying administrative tasks.

Functionality
netFIELD Edge devices serve as intelligent data routers between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) in automated systems. They autonomously handle data collection, processing, and transmission within the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) framework. The devices are equipped with a security-enhanced Linux OS and feature dual container engines for local and cloud-based management.

Applications
The platform is suitable for various IoT-driven industrial applications, enabling data mining, cloud processing, asset behavior analysis, process optimization, and anomaly detection. It supports the development of digital twins, predictive maintenance, and condition monitoring systems with minimal effort.

netFIELD Unity Industrial Edge Computing Platform for IT/OT Connectivity → Open edge computing platform for demanding applications → Loadable with Container Apps to realize IT/OT connectivity → Designed in accordance with latest cybersecurity demands → On-demand central device and container management An Open Platform That Simplifies and Enhances Industrial Automation with IoT netFIELD Edge devices act as intelligent data routers between operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) components in automated systems. They autonomously collect, process, and transmit data within the context of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) in production and control processes. Software containers are used to flexibly equip them with desired applicationspecific functions. Each device is based on a security-enhanced Linux operating system and offers a web-based configuration interface. In addition, the devices feature two independently operating container engines: one can be managed locally, while the other is controlled via the central netFIELD Cloud platform. → netFIELD Unity Hotline: +49 (0) 6190 9907-90 www.hilscher.com This platform enables continuous 24/7 lifecycle management of distributed devices and containers, reducing the complexity of administrative tasks to just a few mouse clicks. These versatile devices are suitable for any IoT-driven industrial applications. Whether you run data mining code directly on the devices or shift data processing to the cloud, the systems provide the necessary ecosystem for any use case. They enable the analysis of asset behavior patterns, process optimization, and anomaly detection. With minimal effort and a short implementation time, challenges such as building digital twins, implementing predictive maintenance solutions, and developing condition monitoring systems can be easily add
