Hardware solutions

Two Devices, One Shared Model Core

While the mobile SF2 Verification Device enables on-site signal inspection and commissioning, the permanently installed SF2 Edge Device provides a reliable, autonomous runtime platform for continuous 24/7 production environments.

Check and verify

SF2 Verification Device

Portable deployment and diagnostic tool for field tests, commissioning, and verification

The portable SF2 Verification Device supports engineering teams in the transition from the prepared condition model to the real plant environment. It helps to check data paths and interfaces, record signal traces, evaluate model behavior, and document technical testing steps in a traceable manner.

  • Portable data acquisition, signal viewing, and logging in the field
  • Checking data paths, interfaces, and Model reactions
  • Playback or simulation within the confirmed functional scope
  • Documentation of technical test steps and results
  • Support for field testing, commissioning, and rollout preparation

Execute and integrate

SF2 Edge Device

Productive target platform for SF2 Engine in field operation

The SF2 Edge Device is a compact controller for the DIN rail. It executes a condition model provided by SF2 Suite RT locally, processes connected sensor and process data, and delivers calculated overlap channels as well as triggers to existing automation and control systems.

  • Continuous processing of connected sensor and process data
  • Output of overlap channels and triggers to downstream systems
  • Compact mounting on the DIN rail
  • Integration via the actual released interfaces (OT/SCADA)
  • ARM- and FPGA-based hardware architecture for the local SF2 runtime

Turn field testing into a controlled rollout

  1. 01

    Qualify real data paths

    The Verification Device creates a reliable basis for approval: capturing signals, checking interfaces, and documenting deviations.

  2. 02

    Operate approved model

    The Edge Device takes over the versioned production package and runs it continuously with SF2 Engine RT in the intended OT context.

Core advantage

Designed for industrial use

The hardware provides defined transitions between engineering, runtime, and existing automation.

Data sovereignty in the plant

Evaluation and runtime can be operated within the local customer infrastructure.

Separate responsibilities

Verification, model approval, and production deployment remain technically clearly separated.

Integration instead of replacement

SF2 provides information to existing systems without taking over their control tasks.

One model, multiple target systems

Approved production packages can be consistently deployed on edge devices or local servers.

DEVICE COMPARISON

Select the right hardware for your workflow.

Match your operational needs based on form factor, deployment duration, and system role—from mobile field verification to continuous 24/7 edge execution.

OT integration

A clean division of responsibilities

SF2 processes sensor dynamics and outputs transparent state representations. Data acquisition, SCADA visualization, alerting, and automated process control stay where they belong: inside your control systems.

  1. 01

    Provide data

    Sensors, controls, and gateways deliver the released signals from the existing process.

  2. 02

    Evaluate states

    SF2 calculates fingerprints, compares reference conditions, and generates traceable similarity values or triggers.

  3. 03

    Use results

    Control, maintenance, or analysis systems take over the outputs for display, alerting, and defined follow-up processes.

Deployment model

Dedicated hardware is an option, not a requirement

Which target platform makes sense for your deployment depends on deployment phase, installation location, and existing infrastructure.

  1. 01

    Evaluate software first

    Historical data can be analyzed with SF2 Suite SE on an existing workstation – without additional hardware.

  2. 02

    Add portable field verification where needed

    The Verification Device comes into play when real interfaces, signal quality, or model reactions need to be tested on site.

  3. 03

    Choose target platform

    SF2 Engine RT can be operated on suitable local server hardware or on the SF2 Edge Device.

  4. 04

    Expand fleet rollout systematically

    SF2 Suite RT centrally manages versioned production packages and the intended runtime instances.

Next Step

Tailor your SF2 rollout to your infrastructure

We help you evaluate data interfaces, environment constraints, and execution requirements to decide whether
software-only or dedicated SF2 hardware delivers the highest ROI for your plant.
