ENGEL EDGE Device
Your gateway to digitalised production
The ENGEL EDGE Device is a secure and innovative tool for managing and optimising your production data. It acts as a gateway to digitalisation and enables efficient implementation of a wide range of ENGEL digital solutions. With the highest security standards, the EDGE Device protects your data and applications.
The EDGE Device is the central interface for utilising ENGEL's digital services. It is a robust industrial PC that enables a secure and efficient connection between your production systems and ENGEL's digital solutions.
The ENGEL EDGE Device is the core of your digital production environment and offers a quick and easy way to develop the potential of a networked production environment. It supports functions such as real-time monitoring and enables in-depth analyses of your production processes.
It meets high industrial safety standards and is specially developed for the needs of production management and administration. With the ENGEL EDGE Device, you will continuously improve your operating processes, increase efficiency and raise production performance to a new level.
The ENGEL EDGE Device sets high security standards with a TPM 2.0 chip (Trusted Platform Module) and a "security by design" approach. Risk is reduced thanks to secure data encryption and minimised hardware interfaces. It uses isolated microservices in Docker containers and secures access via verified ENGEL endpoints. Authorised updates guarantee continuous system security, ensuring the integrity of your production data.
The ENGEL EDGE Device is easily integrated into your existing network infrastructure. Extensive and expensive internal IT projects, often necessary with conventional systems, are no longer necessary. The user-friendly web interface of the EDGE Device makes operation simple, and significantly reduces implementation and operating costs.
With the ENGEL EDGE Device, you benefit from technology that is constantly improving. We take care of all updates and the latest security standards allowing you to focus on the essentials of your production without any worries. You can rely on technology that is always one step ahead.
Specially developed for the harsh environments in production plants, the EDGE Device effectively withstands dust, heat and vibrations. This ensures the longevity and reliability of the hardware.
The ENGEL EDGE Device offers more than just efficient data transmission. It integrates perfectly into the existing product range and facilitates the activation of a variety of ENGEL digital solutions that optimise your injection moulding production.

Activating the ENGEL EDGE Device gives you access to numerous functions:
With the shopfloor monitoring solution, you have an overview of your entire machinery. In addition, production data is analysed retrospectively and optimisation potential is identified at the touch of a button. The configuration effort of the monitoring is low. The monitoring of all machines runs independently of the manufacturer.
Keep an eye on the entire injection moulding cell process: With the process insights functionalities, you can make better decisions during sampling, start-up or root cause analysis. Achieve improved quality and efficiency in complaint analyses. Long-term effects are revealed through the simplest batch comparisons.
Competent online support, directly at your system. With the remote maintenance tool e-connect.24 you get qualified help for your injection moulding machine around the clock. We guarantee response time of 2 hours.
With the intelligent software solution iQ process observer, hundreds of process parameters can be monitored continuously and effortlessly across all four phases of the injection moulding process: plasticising, injection, cooling and demoulding.

The ENGEL EDGE Device runs on a robust operating system and uses Docker architecture for secure, isolated application containers. It collects production data in real time, analyses it and enables immediate adjustments to optimise injection moulding processes. With TPM for enhanced security and encrypted communication, the integrity and security of the data is guaranteed.
Advanced encryption technologies at all levels secure your data transmission and storage to ensure the highest possible level of data security.
Minimised hardware interfaces and secure system start configuration provide effective protection against external threats.
The two-factor authentication process during setup confirms the authenticity of each device and protects against misuse.
The ENGEL EDGE Device is subject to strict safety checks by external experts in order to constantly review and confirm the protective measures.
If you have any concerns about implementing the EDGE Device from ENGEL in your company, our experts are on hand to provide comprehensive advice and assurance to you and your IT team.
Every newly purchased machine is equipped with an ENGEL EDGE Device. It is provided to you at no additional cost. For existing machines, the EDGE Device is offered as part of our extensive digital product range.
No, a single EDGE Device can be used for several machines - depending on the requirements of our digital products. Our experts are on hand to discuss the optimal application options for your company.
Yes, the EDGE Device was designed to be flexibly integrated into various network configurations. It can therefore be seamlessly integrated into your specific operating environment and infrastructure.
