At a critical stage of industrial digital transformation, the commissioning, daily inspection, and full lifecycle management of equipment in non-explosion-proof areas are facing upgrades in efficiency, mobility, and intelligence.
Recently, Endress+Hauser launched the Field Xpert SMT50B non-explosion-proof smart terminal. With its industrial-grade robustness, full protocol compatibility, and lightweight design, it provides a one-stop intelligent operation and maintenance terminal for non-explosion-proof scenarios in process industries, smart manufacturing, and energy management, helping customers achieve a leap in operation and maintenance efficiency, precise cost control, and reliable asset protection.
Industrial-Grade Robust Quality, Adaptable to Harsh Field Conditions
Industrial environments frequently encounter dust, rain, strong light, and impacts. The SMT50B is built to stringent industrial standards, providing a solid foundation for operation and maintenance.
The chassis features a high-strength structural design with an IP66 protection rating, fully resisting dust intrusion and water splashes, easily handling complex non-explosion-proof environments such as workshops, factories, and outdoors.
Equipped with a 10-inch anti-glare high-definition touchscreen, its high-brightness display is unaffected by direct sunlight. The glove mode offers sensitive touch control, allowing for smooth operation without removing protective gear, balancing safety and convenience.
The lightweight and portable design, combined with an ergonomic grip, makes it easy to hold for extended periods of inspection with one hand. Say goodbye to the bulky nature of traditional maintenance tools and the hassle of carrying multiple devices; truly achieve "one device on the go, worry-free maintenance."
Full protocol compatibility + massive driver library, one-stop device management
As a high-performance terminal specifically designed for field device configuration and maintenance, the SMT50B breaks down device interconnection barriers, enabling "connectivity for everything, one-click configuration." It includes over 4000 mainstream device drivers, covering Endress+Hauser and third-party mainstream instruments, sensors, valve positioners, actuators, and other field devices. It is compatible with common industrial protocols such as Profibus, FF, IO-Link, and Profinet, and also supports Bluetooth® and WLAN. No additional driver configuration is required; it is compatible with multiple brands and types of devices out of the box.
Supporting multiple connection methods including wireless (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi), wired, and modem, the device features automatic hardware detection and one-click quick connection. Technicians can quickly perform equipment configuration, parameter settings, debugging, and calibration after establishing a connection, eliminating the inefficiency and errors of traditional manual debugging.
The device comes pre-installed with Windows, seamlessly integrating with office software and industrial applications. Maintenance records, report generation, and data archiving can be completed synchronously without switching devices, achieving an integrated closed loop of "debugging - maintenance - archiving."
Long battery life + cloud connectivity ensures uninterrupted maintenance throughout the entire lifecycle.
Addressing the core needs of "long-term operation and real-time data synchronization" in on-site maintenance, the SMT50B is equipped with a long-lasting battery, providing up to 8 hours of continuous operation on a single charge, meeting the needs of all-day inspection and debugging without frequent charging interruptions.
Integrating with the Endress+Hauser industrial IoT ecosystem Netilion, on-site equipment data can be uploaded to the cloud in real time, supporting remote monitoring, fault warnings, data traceability, and analysis, helping enterprises transform from "reactive maintenance" to "predictive maintenance."
Supports Endress+Hauser's exclusive heartbeat self-verification function, automatically generating PDF verification documents to ensure the authenticity and traceability of maintenance data, meeting industry compliance management requirements.
Comprehensive Scenario Coverage, Unlocking Diverse Values of Intelligent O&M
The SMT50B focuses on the full-scenario O&M needs of non-explosion-proof areas, widely adaptable to industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, water treatment, and intelligent manufacturing:
Equipment Commissioning: Rapid configuration, calibration, and parameter optimization of field equipment such as instruments, sensors, and valves;
Daily Inspection: Equipment status monitoring, data collection, and defect recording, replacing paper ledgers and improving inspection efficiency;
Asset Management: Full lifecycle equipment information management, supporting data traceability, maintenance record archiving, and optimizing asset utilization;
Remote Collaboration: Real-time synchronization of field data to the cloud, with remote experts providing online guidance to quickly resolve difficult problems and reduce downtime risks.
From traditional manual maintenance to intelligent digital management, the SMT50B, with its four core advantages of rugged durability, full connectivity, ease of operation, and long battery life, reshapes the intelligent maintenance experience in non-explosion-proof areas. It helps customers significantly shorten maintenance time, reduce labor costs, improve equipment reliability, and accelerate the implementation of industrial digital transformation.
In the future, Endress+Hauser will continue to deepen its expertise in the field of industrial intelligent terminals, providing global customers with more efficient, intelligent, and convenient industrial maintenance solutions through innovative technologies and reliable products, jointly creating a new future for industrial digitalization.
