Having secure communications is paramount, but many remote access solutions available to manufacturers do not support the latest safeguards.
Our solution offers an AES 256 bit-encrypted tunnel based on TLS that’s audited by ProtectEM based on JIST SP800, ISECOM OSSTAM, BSI, ISA99, and IEC62443. This ensures secure remote access to the PLC, controllers, and other network devices.
Even in the best of times, flying an experienced technical support person out to work on your machine is costly, and these days it’s even harder due to pandemic-induced travel restrictions.
By using remote access, you can minimize your expenses while still maintaining a high level of support. Omron’s remote access solution provides secure, VPN-like access to devices that’s almost no different from a local device connection.
In many cases, warranty and contracted service agreements can get in the way of the smooth handling of remote troubleshooting needs.
Fortunately, Omron’s secure remote access gateway makes it possible to manage these agreements without limiting service. This is because the solution’s VPN-like access makes it unnecessary for the customer to be present at the local machine, as is typically the case with other remote solutions.
For many manufacturers, having complete control over their data is extremely important.
Omron’s remote access solution assuages these concerns because we own the server that’s managed by a secure third party. This server provides LDAP/AD integration, a custom look, advanced parameters, and a custom DNS.
In addition to warranty and contracted service agreements, another thing that often stands in the way of seamless remote troubleshooting is the need to install programming and configuration software.
Again, our VPN-like remote access solution comes to the rescue here. All programing and configuration software is on the remote terminal, so support personnel can employ custom software tools that aren’t available to the customer.
Some remote access solutions don’t have the built-in option to use the program on the types of mobile devices that are becoming increasingly prevalent on the factory floor.
Omron’s Mobile tool lets mobile devices log into local machines to view machine status. This solution simplifies remote troubleshooting needs with the option to use RDP, VNC, Web, or in-browser VNC.
If there’s no LAN available in your facility, you’ll need another way to get remote access. Fortunately, Omron’s remote access solution provides 4G cellular and WiFi-based units that enable remote access wherever there’s cellular or WiFi service.
