About Schildknecht AG

Schildknecht AG, headquartered in Murr (Baden-Württemberg), has been a developer, manufacturer and system provider for industrial data radio since 1981. The company manufactures and distributes the DATAEAGLE product line: data radio systems for Wireless ETHERNET (ETHERNET/IP, PROFINET), Wireless SAFETY (PROFIsafe, CIP Safety, openSAFETY), Wireless PROFIBUS, Wireless CAN and Wireless PLC/IO. Since 2012, Schildknecht AG has also been active in the field of the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and, with the DATAEAGLE 7000 IIoT platform, offers edge gateways for Sensor2Cloud applications via mobile communications, WLAN and LoRaWAN as well as a device management portal. The solutions are characterized by interference immunity, data reduction and easy integration into existing automation systems. Main fields of application include crane technology, water management, stage technology, paper & pulp, hoisting equipment, lift and cable car systems as well as transport vehicles. In addition to product development, the company offers consulting and a project check for assessing the suitability of radio applications.
