Networking industrial systems (OT) requires hardware that is more robust, compact, and energy-efficient than traditional IT components. In environments where every millimeter in the control cabinet counts, uncompromising reliability is essential. This is exactly where the new IoT Gateway (DIN) comes in.
As a bridge between the field level and the ERIQ service portal, it enables seamless communication while meeting the strict security requirements of modern industrial infrastructures.
Key features
Optimized for the control cabinet (OT)
The gateway was specifically developed for harsh industrial environments. It enables clean segmentation and acts as a secure barrier that strictly isolates the sensitive machine network (OT) from the company network (IT). This effectively protects your systems from unauthorized external access and prevents mutual interference between the networks.
Compact design
Thanks to its optimized DIN rail design, the gateway takes up minimal space and fits seamlessly into common control cabinet layouts. This makes it easy to retrofit even in already densely equipped systems.
Energy-efficient operation
The hardware is consistently designed for low power consumption. This not only reduces operating costs, but also ensures lower heat generation in the control cabinet, which significantly increases reliability in continuous operation.
Modular expandability
The gateway can be supplemented with dedicated expansion modules to provide the necessary connections for sensors or communication. Instead of investing in expensive overcapacity, you can simply upgrade interfaces to connect additional systems. This makes your networking strategy highly scalable, both economically and technically.
Basis for Industry 4.0 applications
For ERIQ, the IoT Gateway (DIN) is a central component for securely collecting data directly at its source – the machine. The combination of industrial-grade design, energy-efficient operation, and the hardened ERIQ OS enables standardized rollouts in complex environments.
This significantly reduces the integration effort and creates a uniform, secure basis for data-based services. Companies thus gain the necessary transparency and connectivity to optimize their processes in the long term through remote access, monitoring, and alerting.
