Remote Access through the internet is a powerful way to solve many problems that occur with plant floor equipment. If the Remote Access solution is not done right, it might introduce problems, operational difficulties, and even cybersecurity vulnerabilities to the plant floor.
With this in mind, The Organization for Machine Automation and Control (OMAC) convened a “Remote Access Workgroup” of 37 elite leaders representing major manufacturing companies, OEMs, system integrators, and automation vendors to create a comprehensive guide. Facilitated by ei3 Corporation and sponsored by OMAC, this guide for network-based Remote Access and data collection methods for industrial applications is based on comprehensive research of existing technologies, deployed solutions, and emerging requirements in terms of security and privacy.
