netFIELD OS: Industrial IoT Operating System
The netFIELD OS, as a part of our technology portfolio, supports scalable
field device hardware depending on the customer's use case. In order to
achieve this, applications do not run directly on the host system but instead
as containers in a Docker runtime. Our OS is very lean and only supports
the essential services required by the customer's network infrastructure.
Features
·
Run containers
: Containers are revolutionizing connected IoT devices,
and netFIELD OS is the perfect match to run them.
·
Manage device
: Manage your device locally with a web-based
interface. It is easy to administer storage, configure networks, and
more.
·
Build to last
: Build to survive in harsh environments like unexpected
shutdowns with security in mind.
·
Easy to port
: Based on Yocto Linux for easy porting to most capable
device types across various CPU architectures.
Architecture
Hilscher netFIELD OS is a secure operating system that makes it easy to
program, deploy, connect and manage Edge Devices. Hilscher netFIELD
OS extends the Linux kernel, with software libraries to securely connect
operation technology like PLC, MES, Historians, Files or other on-premise
systems with IT services like the netFIELD Portal. Our OS lets you innovate
faster embracing container technologies managed by the netFIELD Portal
from a central point or locally at the edge.
