We are excited to announce a major step forward in OT monitoring: PRTG multi-platform probe is now available on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace. This partnership bridges the gap between IT and OT environments. It gives customers better visibility and more direct control over their industrial operations.

The integration of the PRTG multi-platform probe into the Siemens Industrial Edge ecosystem means customers using Siemens Industrial Edge devices are now able to easily deploy and manage the multi-platform probe as a pre-built edge application directly from the ecosystem marketplace. Whether you're in manufacturing, energy production, or infrastructure management, this integration streamlines how you gain monitoring insights from your OT environments.
The multi-platform probe is a core component of our distributed monitoring architecture in PRTG Network Monitor. Unlike traditional remote probes that only run on Windows, the multi-platform probe is cross-platform and container-friendly, making it a perfect fit for OT environments in manufacturing plants.
This lightweight yet powerful component allows you to:
Siemens Industrial Edge is a modern IioT platform for deploying software directly at the machine or production line level. The Marketplace provides ready-to-use applications that can be easily rolled out and managed remotely, even across hundreds of machines. By offering PRTG multi-platform probe as an app in this ecosystem, we enable seamless integration for both existing and new users.
With the PRTG multi-platform probe joining the Siemens Industrial Edge Ecosystem, we are giving our customers a new level of flexibility and visibility into their production environments. The joint approach supports a scalable, secure, and standards-based strategy for OT monitoring.
Collaboration improves instantly when IT and OT teams use the same monitoring language. Instead of asking, "Is it the network or the PLC?" teams work from one shared view of the entire production environment.
For beverage producers who implement this integration, the results are measurable.
In the food and beverage industry, even short periods of unplanned downtime can be extremely costly. Imagine a beverage production line that fills 60,000 bottles per hour. If that line stops due to a network issue, a failed PLC, or a misconfigured sensor, every minute of downtime can result in losses of €5,000 to €8,000 from lost production, wasted ingredients, and labeling materials. There are also delays in logistics and order fulfillment to consider.
By implementing holistic IT/OT monitoring with PRTG on Siemens Industrial Edge, customers typically increase overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) by 3–5%. While this may seem modest, in a large production plant operating 24/7, this translates into several additional production days per year, reduced product losses, and significantly greater process stability.
The benefits are technical, financial, and operational. Unified monitoring means fewer interruptions, higher throughput, and ultimately, more bottles leaving the factory on time.
The PRTG multi-platform probe is now available on the Siemens Industrial Edge Marketplace. You can explore and deploy the solution directly from the Siemens Marketplace.
If you have any questions about implementation or would like some guidance on getting started, please contact your Paessler account manager.
At Paessler, we believe that IT and OT should work better together. This integration is another step towards bridging the gap between the control room and the boardroom, making industrial data accessible to all those who need it.
