By running the probe locally on edge devices, manufacturers can collect data from protocols like OPC UA, Modbus TCP, MQTT, and SNMP without relying on separate, fragmented tools. The system ensures operational continuity even in remote or segmented network environments, as the probe buffers data locally during connectivity drops and resumes transmission once the link is restored. This architecture provides a shared, real-time view for both IT and OT personnel, covering everything from core infrastructure down to specific programmable logic controllers.

Designed for flexibility, the PRTG Multi-Platform Probe operates as a container-friendly application, moving beyond traditional Windows-only dependencies. It supports native deployment on Debian, Ubuntu, and RHEL systems, making it suitable for the diverse hardware landscapes typical in energy and industrial manufacturing. The application is available immediately via the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace, provided users maintain an active PRTG subscription.
