Getting Started with Industrial Edge in practice

How does it work?

In a free pre-check, we identify if this service fits your demand. Then our Siemens experts guide you through the following process:

  • Assessment: Scope definition, app selection, examination of machine and data to be connected to the Industrial Edge
  • Implementation: Onboarding of one asset and one app
  • Application: Installation, configuration, explanation of the selected app
  • Experience: Free app access for three months to gain experience

Use case

Establishing Industrial Edge connectivity and selecting the right applications can be time-consuming without clear guidance. This example shows how a structured onboarding approach changes the timeline and the outcome.

Without guided support

  • Teams take a self-driven approach to evaluate Industrial Edge.
  • Understanding app options, data requirements, connectivity and deployment takes up to three months, with significant internal effort and uncertainty along the way.

With Getting Started with Industrial Edge

  • Using the Getting Started service, get connectivity set up based on your specific plant requirements and guidance selecting the right app quickly.
  • Within two weeks, you can test Industrial Edge in your own environment and gain practical insights — without long evaluation cycles.
