Software Solutions

Endress+Hauser’s software portfolio is the digital layer that surrounds your sensors, transmitters, and control systems: configuration and asset tools for commissioning and maintenance, historians for secure long‑term archiving and reporting, inventory platforms for tank farms and supply chains, condition‑monitoring services, and compliance suites for emissions and maritime operations. On the product side you’ll see familiar families such as DeviceCare and FieldCare for device access, Field Data Manager (FDM) for manipulation‑protected data storage and analysis, SupplyCare and Tankvision for inventory management, Monitoring Box for continuous condition monitoring, MEAC300 for emissions data acquisition, the Maritime Suite for shipboard compliance, and Memobase Plus for laboratory workflows with Memosens sensors. Strategically, these on‑prem and cloud options are designed to be combined, standalone where you need them but interoperable with Netilion IIoT services and APIs when you want enterprise‑wide views, mobile access, or integration into business systems. The Software catalog groups the offerings by use case (e.g., “device access & configuration,” “data & application managers,” “inventory manager”), making it straightforward to map software choice to the job at hand.

Device configuration & plant asset management, DeviceCare, FieldCare, W@M, and Netilion services
For day‑to‑day commissioning and troubleshooting, DeviceCare SFE100 is the free, point‑to‑point Endress+Hauser configuration tool. It identifies connected instruments automatically, manages device drivers (DTMs), and uses task wizards and event views to streamline parameterization, handy on service laptops for fast loop checks or firmware updates. FieldCare SFE500 is the scalable, plant‑wide alternative: an FDT/DTM‑based asset tool that supports Endress+Hauser and third‑party devices across HART, PROFIBUS (DP/PA), FOUNDATION Fieldbus, Modbus, and EtherNet/IP. Beyond parameterization, it adds plant and inventory views, document management by TAG, and license options that extend into engineered condition‑monitoring use cases. Many teams standardize on Endress+Hauser’s Software Portal to keep drivers current and manage software entitlements across sites. At fleet level, Netilion Analytics provides multi‑vendor installed‑base transparency and obsolescence management, while W@M / asset information management makes as‑built device data, certificates, and manuals immediately available, reducing the time you spend hunting documentation during turnarounds or audits. Together these tools shorten commissioning time, harden change control, and make the “what do we have, and in what state is it?” question answerable from the field device up to enterprise views.

When you need a tamper‑resistant historian with rich visualization, Field Data Manager (FDM) MS20/MS21 provides centralized storage of measured values, diagnostic events, analyses, and event logbooks. Data are written into an SQL database (PostgreSQL included; Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server supported) with manipulation protection and user management, giving you a defensible record for quality or regulatory contexts. You can import data “live” from connected devices (e.g., paperless recorders/data managers) or read complete datasets from mass storage, create report templates, schedule automatic reports, and export or archive result sets. Many users deploy FDM as a site‑level historian for utilities, environmental monitoring, or batch documentation, then forward KPIs to corporate systems; others position it as an intermediate layer between local data managers and enterprise dashboards when 21CFR‑style auditability and long retention are required. Either way, FDM’s combination of secure archiving and flexible analysis reduces the effort to prove compliance, reconstruct events, and trend process health without introducing a DCS dependency.

For remote tanks, silos, terminals, and vendor‑managed inventory programs, SupplyCare delivers the “single version of truth” about stock. SupplyCare Hosting (SCH30) is the cloud option operated on Endress+Hauser’s redundant infrastructure; it consolidates level signals from remote assets, normalizes to standard volumes/mass, and exposes dashboards, alarms, and reports in a browser, ideal when you need fast deployment and secure, anywhere access. SupplyCare Enterprise is the on‑premises counterpart for customers who prefer to host inventory data within their own IT environment. Both platforms support collaborative demand planning, event‑driven replenishment, and scheduling, and integrate upstream via APIs/OPC or electronic reporting so you can automate ordering and logistics. In solids applications (powders, pellets), the same SupplyCare backbone helps reduce run‑outs and safety stocks by improving forecast accuracy and providing transparent stock/consumption KPIs to both suppliers and receivers. Typical deployments span chemical intermediates, fuels and lubes, food ingredients, cement, and water‑treatment consumables, wherever logistics risk and working‑capital cost justify better visibility.

At the terminal or refinery scale, Tankvision is the web‑based inventory system built specifically for tank farms. The NXA820 Tank Scanner acquires data directly from tank gauges and performs standardized tank calculations (levels, temperatures, volumes/masses); NXA821 Data Concentrator aggregates scanners across a site; and the NXA822 Host Link bridges Tankvision to DCS/PLC systems via open protocols. The defining features are its browser‑based HMI (no proprietary client software) and a scalable architecture that grows from a handful of tanks to multi‑hundred‑tank facilities with distributed LAN segments. In practice, that means faster rollouts, easier multi‑site support, and lower lifecycle cost. Many operators use Tankvision to supervise transfers and custody‑relevant movements, drive alarms and dispatching, and combine with SupplyCare or ERP connectors for reconciliation and business workflows.

Monitoring Box packages continuous monitoring, limit supervision, and statistical trend analysis into a ready‑to‑use digital service: it ingests real‑time and historical data, flags limit violations, classifies changes of state, and produces diagnoses and forecasts that support predictive, condition‑based maintenance. It’s frequently applied to rotating equipment skids, critical analyzers, and remote pumping stations where early warning prevents secondary damage and unplanned downtime. For organizations moving toward a broader IIoT architecture, Netilion digital services slot in neatly: Netilion Value offers mobile dashboards and threshold alerts for process values, and Netilion Library centralizes SOPs, certificates, and calibration files against each device’s digital twin, so the “what happened?” and the “what do we do now?” information live side‑by‑side. The net effect is better signal‑to‑noise in alarms, fewer nuisance callouts, and improved readiness for audits or investigations.

Environmental reporting places unique demands on data integrity and availability. MEAC300 is a modern, modular data acquisition system (DAHS) for continuous emissions, handling acquisition, evaluation, storage, visualization, and transmission in real time. Variants address European evaluation guidelines for combustion and waste/co‑incineration plants as well as country‑specific requirements; recent technical information highlights simplified installation (including for Modbus‑capable devices) and continuity for modernization projects. On ships, Endress+Hauser’s Maritime Suite adds transparency and resilience to compliance: MARpems (Predictive Emission Monitoring) computes compliance status and emission parameters when physical CEMS data are unavailable or a sensor fails; MARdiagnostics analyzes analyzer health and pushes notifications with recommended actions to move maintenance from reactive to proactive; and MARlogger fuses emissions and flow data to provide mass‑flow emissions records with browser visualization and remote access. This combination ensures gapless reporting to authorities and reduces manual effort, even during equipment outages, while giving superintendents and operators clear, fleet‑wide context.

In regulated labs and at‑line QA stations, Memobase Plus (CYZ71D) brings order to calibration and documentation around Memosens sensors. It maintains a central database (including master/slave options), reads sensor IDs via barcode, applies license‑controlled advanced diagnostics, enforces measuring‑range limits, logs deviations, and assigns sensor‑specific labels, producing a clean lineage of who calibrated what, with which standards, and when. Because Memosens stores calibration and condition data in the sensor head, Memobase can move calibration away from the line into a controlled environment, then push “known‑good” probes back into production, shortening changeovers and improving traceability. The result is fewer bad samples, better audit readiness, and longer sensor life through data‑driven maintenance. Where plant‑wide calibration management is the goal, Endress+Hauser also offers a software+services route with CompuCal to manage calibration plans and records across instrumentation classes.

Most teams implement these blocks in layers: DeviceCare/FieldCare on service laptops and workstations for device access; FDM as a site historian for regulated/critical datasets; SupplyCare/Tankvision to normalize and operationalize levels for purchasing, dispatch, and custody tasks; Monitoring Box (and, as needed, Netilion Value/Library/Analytics) to elevate reliability, mobility, and collaboration; and MEAC300/Maritime Suite to meet environmental compliance without gaps. Integration paths are open by design: Tankvision and SupplyCare use standard browsers and interfaces; FieldCare manages DTMs/FDI packages across multi‑protocol devices; and Netilion Connect exposes a REST API for secure programmatic access when you want to feed enterprise data lakes, CMMS, or planning tools. To speed selection and cut engineering time, Endress+Hauser also maintains online product tools such as Applicator (application‑driven sizing/selection) and Device Viewer (device documentation). In practice, the benefit is not just fewer clicks; it’s lifecycle coherence, from first spec to operations and audits, using modular software that maps cleanly to the way process plants are actually engineered and run.
