AI Starter Kit 2 Go: Partnership with Hilscher

IO‑Link Starter Kit 2 Go - Partnership with Hilscher brings AI to every machine

Thanks to our partnership with Hilscher, we have one of the world's leading specialists for industrial communication at our side. Together, we have put together the IO-Link-based AI Starter Kit 2 Go so that companies can take the step from retrofit sensor technology to artificial intelligence in just a few minutes.

At the heart of the package is the sensorEDGE FIELD Edge IO-Link master from Hilscher. Eight M12 ports, IP67 protection class and an integrated quad-core edge computer enable data acquisition directly at the machine - without the need for a control cabinet. Connected IO-Link sensors are automatically recognized and new sensors can be integrated using the web configurator.

On the software side, Bytefabrik.AI provides an open IIoT analysis platform based on Apache StreamPipes. This provides companies that want to develop their first AI-based application for condition monitoring or predictive maintenance, for example, with a solution that can be used very quickly.

While Hilscher guarantees a reliable connection to thousands of IO-Link sensors, our open platform ensures that raw data is seamlessly transferred to analysis applications. The result is a plug-and-play starter package that is designed in particular for retrofit scenarios and technology demonstrators in production, research or teaching.

If you would like to experience the Starter Kit 2 Go live, you can order it from us now or test it in a remote demo.
