What is secure remote access?
Secure remote access provides both a secure line of communication and an avenue for remote access to enable the active management of access to the machines, equipment, controllers and systems on your plant floor. Most manufacturers use equipment brought in by original equipment manufacturers (OEM) or system integrators (SI), who can remotely connect in order to troubleshoot and manage that equipment, including HMIs and PLCs. Thanks to secure remote access, they can respond more quickly to issues and provide better uptime and availability for their equipment.
Why is remote access important in manufacturing?
In manufacturing, time is money – secure remote access can help protect your bottom line by helping you make modifications to the production environment more quickly, run more efficiently, and make better data-driven decisions.
