manages whether the FIELD system BOX in
the factory is operating normally.

FANUC Intelligent Edge Link & Drive system

Converter

Processes valuable data from production
devices at the production site.
Contributes to the improvement ofproduction eﬃciency by quickly
processing site data with rapid
response times.

FIELD system application：
Not only FANUC, but application
developers and customers who
actually use the system can also
develop necessary applications
and use them on FIELD system.
FIELD system converter：
FANUC and production device
manufacturers provide
communication software
applications that support many
diﬀerent communication
standards and production devices.

Connect everything- Ability to connect not only the latest FANUC products（CNCs, Robots, andROBOMACHINEs）but also to existing machinery in the factory.
- General-purpose communication standard, OPC UA and MTConnect aresupported.
- Production device manufactures can create and provide converters for theirproduction devices.

Multilayer defense security
FIELD system is conﬁgured with a multilayer defense system that employs multiple security technologies on all the layers, that is,the server, network, and the FIELD system BOX.
- FIELD system installed in the factory controls access to determine whether to permit access to（1）user data,（2）application
data, and（3）production device data. In the case where an application fails, data accesses except for predeﬁned ones areblocked.
- Unnecessary access is limited between production devices. The network switch and other devices separate networks in thefactory, control paths, and identify production devices.
- FIELD system Manager and the FIELD system Store adopt multiple security technologies such as integrated threat management
and security software.

2production devices at the manufacturing site to consolidate
productivity and nonstop production in the factory.
FIELD system PMA- FIELD system PMA is an application to analyze
factory operation and improve productivity.
- FIELD system PMA can monitor the operating
status of each production device in real time.
- FIELD system PMA collects the operation
results of each production device including theoperating time and alarm time and uses themfor factor analysis.
- FIELD system PMA is helpful in improving theproductivity by statistically analyzing collected
data and visualizing tendencies and statuseswith numerical values and graphs.

PMA：Production Monitoring & Analysis

FIELD system ZDT- FIELD system ZDT is an application to reduce
unexpected downtime of production devices.
- FIELD system ZDT monitors the statuses of
FANUC CNCs and robots and generates error
alerts.
- FIELD system ZDT notiﬁes the user of
periodical maintenance and encourages
preventive maintenance.
- FIELD system ZDT reduces maintenance costs
and the workload of maintenance staﬀ bycentrally managing the maintenance statusesof production devices.

ZDT：Zero Down Time

Applications assisting the manufacturing site
- FANUC provides an application to manage workers and theiroperation history records in bulk and an application topredict the processing time of the NC program.
- In addition, not only FANUC but also application developers
and customers who actually use the system can develop
necessary applications and use them on FIELD system.

FIELD system Store- Once applications and converters to be used on FIELD
system pass the review process conducted by FANUC, they
are available in the FIELD system Store and can be
downloaded and installed from there.
- You can easily check the latest versions of applications andconverters and update your current applications andconverters.
- You can also check your purchase history or get quotations.
