Next level for Siemens Industrial Edge: New cloud service, more devices, and low-code integration
Industrial Edge Management is now available in the cloud
Industrial Edge Management available in the cloud
Industrial Edge Management (IEM) is a software
portal for managing IoT solutions consisting of hardware and software in the
factory. It allows all devices, applications, and users integrated into Siemens
Industrial Edge to be centrally managed. Siemens now also offers this system as
a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS): IEM Cloud is available as a fully
managed service and includes both the infrastructure and the set-up of the
system. The operational system requirements and configuration costs for users
are kept to a minimum. Industrial Edge devices can be integrated directly in
the management system. IEM Cloud can be used to manage automation software as
well as hardware from Siemens and third-party providers. "With IEM Cloud,
we’re making Industrial Edge computing as easy as possible for our customers:
They can use IEM Cloud without having to maintain the IT resources necessary
for edge computing themselves," says Rainer Brehm, CEO Factory Automation
at Siemens.
New devices for the Industrial Edge Ecosystem
In addition to the software, Siemens is also
expanding its Industrial Edge ecosystem with more hardware: more Simatic
industrial PCs (x86 processor-based) and Industrial Edge devices from the
Scalance and Simatic IoT device family based on ARM processors are now
available. Weidmüller is also the first third-party manufacturer in the Siemens
ecosystem to offer the u-control M4000, an edge device based on this processor
architecture. The ARM processor-based devices are primarily designed for less
data-intensive use cases: for example, remote access and connectivity solutions
like gateways. And users can now use Siemens' new Industrial Edge Own Device
software to convert their existing third-party x86 processor-based IPCs into
fully functional Industrial Edge devices, centrally manage them, and thereby integrate
existing hardware into their IoT environment. "With our expanded range of
devices, we’re making the Industrial Edge ecosystem even more open and
user-friendly," says Brehm.

Low-code plugin Mendix on Edge
New: Low-code programming for Industrial Edge
Mendix’s low-code development environment allows
users to develop field-level apps in production with no coding knowledge.
Automation engineers can use the new Industrial Edge plugin to develop
industry-specific apps in their Mendix Studio Pro development environment and
seamlessly install them on appropriate devices at the field level. Brehm: "With
Mendix on Edge, app development for edge computing in industry has never been
easier. Prototyping is now up to ten times faster and consumes up to 70 percent
fewer programming resources than with conventional methods. Mendix on Edge
drives the integration of IT and OT in the industry even further."
