HBK’ s digiBOX Edge Amplifier transforms how manufacturers use data to increase precision and automation
From underground trains to advanced assembly lines, the need for smarter, real-time data in industrial environments has never been greater. Hottinger Brüel & Kjær( HBK), a global leader in test and measurement solutions, has answered that call with its award-winning digiBOX Edge Amplifier – the 2025 winner of Most Innovative IoT Solution in the Manufacturing Supplier Innovation Awards UK 2025.
As manufacturers grapple with the complex demands of Industry 4.0 – data integration, predictive maintenance, and automation at scale – HBK’ s digiBOX offers a decisive edge. By delivering seamless IT / OT integration, intelligent diagnostics, and robust performance, it provides a modern solution for legacy challenges.
“ We’ re proud to win the Manufacturing Innovation Award,” said Michael Guckes, Product Manager for Industrial Electronics at HBK.“ This solution represents our deep commitment to driving smarter, more flexible, and more efficient production systems.”
Bridging the gap between IT and OT
The digiBOX Edge Amplifier is designed to enhance both measurement accuracy and data intelligence at the edge of the network. Unlike traditional amplifiers, digiBOX doesn’ t just transmit data – it interprets it, using built-in smart functions to perform realtime diagnostics and pre-calculations. This relieves the machine’ s control unit from extra load, allowing it to focus solely on running the process.
