Application Scenarios for Remote Maintenance with the VPN Service Portal Digicluster v3

Industry
Woman in safety clothes with tablet

In industrial systems, machines run continuously and must function reliably even under extreme conditions. Centralized monitoring, control and remote maintenance of connected routers and the machines behind them ensure smooth operations and prevent downtime. Operators and suppliers each receive separate access to the systems.

Critical Infrastructure (CRITIS)
Industrial plant

Networking systems in critical infrastructure require exceptionally high security standards to protect safety-critical systems from threats. Encrypted VPN connections and individually assigned access rights offer reliable protection against tampering and cyber attacks.

Photovoltaic Systems
Solar panels

Large solar parks often consist of many PV units spread across different locations. Connecting these individual systems into a single fleet and centrally managing them via a remote platform allows operators to efficiently and reliably control, manage and maintain their entire equipment portfolio.

Rail Transport
Train tracks

Remote maintenance of railway systems must be based on smart, mobile and industry-specific security standards. Intelligent remote access is essential for maintenance and service tasks as well as for comprehensive data transmission.

VPN Remote Maintenance Portal – An Overview of All Features

Connection and Remote Maintenance of Your Router and Their Networks
  • Network: Simple, secure, and flexible networking of systems, machines, and control centers.
  • Secure VPN network: Digicluster automatically connects via secure OpenVPN encryption to the router, which in turn links to your local technical systems.
  • Remote access: Possible from any internet-enabled device (PC, tablet, smartphone).
