Ready for Industry 4.0 - with the netFIELD Eval Board

Would you like to make your machines smarter and enter the world of Industry 4.0, but are afraid of the costs and are not yet an expert in the field of Industrial IOT, Docker containers and apps? Then the netFIELD Eval Board is your perfect entry-level solution.

Our goal: to make machine and process data easily accessible in order to create transparency, increase efficiency and reduce costs.


Just get started - with powerful equipment

The netFIELD Eval Board from SYS TEC electronic provides a cost-effective, practical introduction to modern IoT technologies. Based on Hilscher's netFIELD device management system, it also offers a wide range of functions, such as

  • Device management,
  • secure operation and integration into your production environment,
  • optional remote access,
  • A wide range of ready-to-use applications from various providers (free of charge or for a fee)

Or test your own application directly on the device - ideal for developing and optimizing individual solutions.


From the idea to series production

As your project grows, simply upgrade to more powerful edge hardware from SYS TEC or Hilscher. The netFIELD platform remains the same - so applications can be brought into series production safely and scalably.

Good to know:
Using netFIELD is free for the first two devices. Alternatively, you can also work without the cloud - apps can be started and managed locally using the integrated netFIELD Cockpit web interface.

Industrial connectivity par excellence

The board has numerous interfaces, including

  • two independent Ethernet ports: one for the process level (e.g. MQTT, OPC UA, Modbus/TCP, EtherCAT), the other for connection to IT or the cloud
  • USB ports and configurable GPIOs for integrating additional peripherals
  • Optional eMMC memory as a more robust alternative to the micro SD card

This makes the netFIELD Eval Board a future-proof IIoT platform for your automation projects.

A strong team: SYS TEC & Hilscher

SYS TEC electronic (Vogtland) and Hilscher (Hattersheim) have been working together on hardware solutions with netX technology since November 2023. With the netFIELD Eval Board, we are expanding this collaboration to the Industrial IoT sector.

By porting the netFIELD OS to SYS TEC hardware, machine builders and manufacturing companies have a flexible and secure platform for applications such as

  • Remote maintenance
  • predictive maintenance
  • data-based services
  • IIoT retrofitting

Fit for the future - secure and scalable

Industry 4.0 brings new challenges - such as the EU's upcoming Cyber Resilience Act, which must be implemented by the end of 2026. netFIELD supports you in securely scaling your IoT solutions, even internationally.

The netFIELD solution is offered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and hosted by Hilscher in Germany. Operation in your private cloud is just as possible as an on-premise version, which you can operate yourself in your own IT landscape. You can choose between five variants:

 

netFIELD Cloud Free

netFIELD Cloud Starter

netFIELD Cloud Essential

netFIELD Cloud Business

netFIELD Cloud Enterprise
