 Remote services for machine and plant constructors

Offering secure remote services assures manufacturers of machines and production plants a large potential in additional maintenance contracts. With its mGuard technology, Innominate offers a "plug and protect" solution that can be integrated in plants and individual machines.

 Secure Remote Maintenance via the Internet reduces expenses

The Internet is ideal as a central medium for remote maintenance, remote monitoring and telecontrolling, also in automation technology environments. Firewall and VPN systems help ensure the Internet is safe to use. In the process, expensive dial-up connections are replaced with the more economical use of the Internet. In addition to offering a significantly higher level of security, IP-based remote monitoring connections provide considerably higher bandwidth as compared to conventional modem connections. A wide range of data, including video information, e.g. for distributed monitoring systems, can be transmitted via fast broadband Internet. Secure remote maintenance is a key component of this process. Service technicians must be able to reach the production systems worldwide, in uncomplicated, cost-effective and most importantly, in secure manner

 Innominate Remote Service Security solution with mGuard firewall/VPN

Time-tested mGuard appliances can be integrated without great complexity into every multi-vendor environment and are compatible with every system. Moreover, they require no configuration modifications whatsoever – neither to the plant/machine system nor to the network.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) technology, integrated in every mGuard appliance from Innominate, guarantees maximum security. In the process, the VPN tunnels can be set up either from outside or also actively from the production plant to the service technician.

 Simple roll-out with the Innominate Device Manager (IDM)

A large number of mGuard appliances can be quickly and easily installed with the Innominate Device Manager. With its clear and easy to use template structure, the management software supports the definition of firewall policies and the subsequent configuration of appliances in the field.
