TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR DEVICES AND DATA WITH OUR INTEGRATED IOT AND M2M SOLUTIONS
Experience the hassle-free and efficient way of transferring data to the cloud with our IoT gateway, DATAEAGLE 7000. Through a user-friendly interface, it enables seamless connectivity between different devices. Our gateway is ideal for remote maintenance, software updates (OTA – Over the Air), and remote monitoring of machines and sensors.
By implementing a globally deployable eSIM card, we offer a reliable and cost-effective solution to connect facilities worldwide. Using an external eSIM card eliminates the need for connectivity to a company’s local internet infrastructure.
The device cloud acts as an interface between the IoT gateway and the customer’s or end device’s cloud system, such as a computer, tablet, or smartphone. It can be connected to any IoT cloud through the API interface. The data from IoT devices is sent to the device cloud via cellular networks, ensuring secure and efficient data processing.
Discover the possibilities of our IoT solutions and leverage the benefits of seamless data transmission to the cloud. With Schildknecht AG, you have reliable and innovative solutions at your disposal to efficiently monitor and control your facilities.

IoT-Devices (Things)
IoT devices such as sensors, actuators, and machines transmit machine states and information to a cloud. This complex system requires multiple interfaces. Schildknecht AG provides a solution! The connectivity of devices to a cloud is achieved through a central gateway. The DATAEAGLE 7000 device family offers various interfaces for monitoring at field and control levels.
IoT Gateway
Our IoT gateway, DATAEAGLE 7000, provides a user-friendly interface to simplify the data transmission process to the cloud. It enables the transfer of data from various IoT devices to the device cloud and can also send data from the cloud to the IoT device. With a straightforward mobile solution based on a globally deployable eSIM card, Schildknecht AG connects facilities worldwide. The gateway is particularly suitable for real-time analysis of machine data, remote maintenance, software updates for mobile equipment, and remote monitoring. By implementing the eSIM card, DATAEAGLE 7000 becomes a reliable and cost-effective solution for global deployment.
IOT CONNECTIVITY – VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL COMMUNICATION
Vertical communication (networking) connects things such as sensors and machines to users within a production or site. Ethernet is suitable for this type of communication, especially in the context of Industry 4.0. Horizontal communication (networking) enables location-independent data communication across the entire value chain. Things and users can be located at different sites, potentially even in different companies.
Device Cloud
The Device Cloud is a private cloud that serves as the interface between IoT gateways and the customer’s cloud system or end devices (such as computers, tablets, or smartphones). It can be connected to any IoT cloud through the API interface. The data from the things is sent from the gateway to the Device Cloud via cellular networks.
Cloud System
A cloud system is responsible for providing data analysis and visualization functions. Therefore, it is tailored to the specific needs of a company, user group, project, or use case. Various public or private cloud systems can be utilized for this purpose. Another option for data processing is a Device Cloud, which enables the visualization of data from IoT things/devices or their integration into other applications through the API interface. Remote maintenance and condition monitoring of machines and equipment can be achieved using our cloud system.
Condition Monitoring System
To enable our customers to achieve quick implementation, Schildknecht AG follows an IoT-ready-to-use approach. We offer a ready-to-deploy system for condition monitoring, consisting of a small multisensor designed for rugged industrial environments, a globally deployable IoT gateway (DATAEAGLE 2730) with an integrated eSIM card, and a cloud dashboard (DATAEAGLE Portal). It is suitable for both new installations and existing facilities. The DATAEAGLE Condition Monitoring System is ideal for monitoring the condition of motors and machines in industrial environments.
Trust in our experience: Schildknecht AG is your experienced partner for IoT wireless solutions.
Remote monitoring of machines and plants
Have a look at the Schildknecht Internet of Things platform that offers a unique combination of global connectivity, powerful security and manageable costs. Built around our DATAEAGLE 7000 series of IoT gateways, it gives you all the components and services necessary for a strong IoT solution from sensor to cloud. For optimal global operability we use mobile radio tech that offers the highest network coverage and secures independence from existing Internet infrastructures. This comes at a manageable cost as we use universal eSIM cards validated by countless providers and provides solid security to your data at any time since we use end-to-end encryption.
With the Schildknecht Internet of Things platform you can access sensor and machine data from anywhere in the world through the ERP or cloud system of your choice, giving you all relevant information at a glance. We do more than just supplying technology: our holistic approach means that we collaborate with you on vital parameters like overall efficiency and cost to develop business models. For these and many more reasons, we consider ourselves a strong partner for the IoT future of your business.
IoT in practice
Data and information linked therewith increasingly develop to central elements for industry, traffic, infrastructure, economy and society. Innumerable “things“ – such as measuring and monitoring devices, machinery, pumps, vehicles or household appliances are equipped with sensors which gather data of any kind and then are sent by gateways wired or wireless by radio (e.g. via the IoT Gateway DATAEAGLE of Schildknecht AG) to a cloud or a portal established there for analysis and further utilization. So the Internet of Things (IoT) has already become reality in many places. Companies of any kind and size are now endeavoring to develop new business models by applying modern IoT technology. The objective of these models is to optimize familiar processes e.g. with regard to security and economic efficiency or to generate new processes. In such developments support by experienced companies such as the radio technology specialist Schildknecht AG is extremely helpful.

IoT platform approach using the example of a service solution for cranes
Modern gantry cranes in port facilities all over the world are freely movable “transporters” for containers on rubber wheels with their own drive units, e.g. in order to be able to change aisles (without conductor rails) (RTG – Rubber Tired Gantry Cranes). To ensure the constant functioning of these units, an automatic monitoring system was developed by the crane manufacturer together with Schilfknecht AG. Sensors and radio modules installed in the drive unit are used for this purpose, which regularly record the continuously registered operating data and communicate it worldwide. In view of the demand for free mobility, wireless technology was used for this purpose.
The DATAEAGLE 7050 gateway with various fieldbus interfaces is connected to the control system. From there, the data is transmitted via mobile radio to the device cloud and from there to an ERP or a customer cloud. There, the data can be tracked and corrective measures can be taken in case of irregularities or service calls can be coordinated by the customer.
