Local data processing close to the process
Put in ideas. Unpack possibilities.
More and more companies are using edge computing to exploit the benefits of local data processing. We offer the products for this, the latest of which is SCALANCE LPE (local processing engine), the flexible local processing platform that’s open to your ideas.
Join SCALANCE LPE Tech Meetup at Hannover Messe 2022
How can you enable, e.g., anomaly detection and secure access to OT networks? Local data processing is the key for these and many other solutions. Discover more and join the 30 minutes Tech Meetup about “Secure local data processing in OT networks” on May 31th at 9:30 a.m.
One platform for all purposes
Make your applications more flexible: SCALANCE LPE collects and analyzes data locally and actively contributes to applications in your automation system. The platform offers a compact design as well as high performance, robustness, and future viability.
SCALANCE LPE is a small and robust local processing engine with a powerful CPU. It is flexibly usable – for example, for edge applications that allow you to significantly boost the efficiency of your plants.
SCALANCE LPE collects data directly at the process, pre-processes it, and makes it available to other systems. Possible applications are e.g. condition monitoring of multiple devices for the purpose of predictive maintenance or anomaly detection in communications networks. Thanks to its powerful CPU, the processing engine handles several applications simultaneously. Its Linux-based operating system allows you to implement your own self-developed apps as well as applications available on the market (such as Docker©) with one device. One use case is the Zero Trust solution that enables secure access to the industrial network from the office or via mobile.

Local processing engine in use
Use SCALANCE LPE to solve many potential challenges.
SCALANCE LPE incorporates Zero Trust, a security principle known from IT networks. Participating devices, users, and software resources need to be identified and authorized before getting access to systems and applications of the industrial network. Access is strictly limited to the current request. With SCALANCE LPE and Zero Trust, the “Defense in Depth” concept can be enriched by a new option for secure remote access – e.g., from the office IT.
Extend passive anomaly-based intrusion detection into the industrial environment with the SCALANCE LPE. The Nozomi Networks Remote Collector hosted on the SCALANCE LPE helps monitor, detect, and respond to threats within trusted zones in the industrial network , without adding further complexity and sacrificing production uptime. The complete solution with the Nozomi Networks Guardian and Central Management Console provides security personnel with context-based intelligent alerts to respond to anomalies in real-time, always keeping the production environment safe and operational.
Benefits
- Complete visibility on OT/IoT assets and processes
- Hardware rated for reliable operation in industrial environments
- Single trusted source for hardware, software, and service
Security information
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats, it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Siemens’ products and solutions only form one element of such a concept. For more information about industrial security, please visit.
