Energy
Utilities operate distributed, mission‑critical assets where reliability, safety and regulatory compliance are non‑negotiable. A software-defined approach modernizes control environments without disrupting operations, enabling secure, centralized management of PLCs and RTUs.
Benefits
Centralized Visibility and Lifecycle Control Across All Sites
Central visibility and lifecycle control of automation assets across plants, substations
and remote sites.
Stronger Cybersecurity Through Standardized and Segmented Access
Stronger cybersecurity posture with standardized access control, auditability and network‑segmented remote access.
Faster Issue Resolution with Remote Diagnostics and Updates
Reduced truck rolls and MTTR through safe remote diagnostics and controlled code updates.
Simplified Compliance Reporting with Full Change Traceability
Easier compliance reporting with traceable configuration and change histories.
Managing Multi-Vendor PLC Environments at Scale
Managing diverse programmable logic controller (PLC) systems from multiple vendors with insufficient tools for code management.
Secure Browser-Based Engineering from Anywhere
Browser-based engineering which enables secure and maintenance-free IDE access from anywhere.
Lower IT Overhead with Cloud-Managed Engineering Environments
Reduce your IT footprint – Eliminate the burden of managing the IDEs and the laptops/virtual machines they run on. You’ll always work on the most up-to-date, fully patched version of the IDE and OS.
