IIoT remote access solution

There is a great deal of interest at the moment regarding IIoT and remote access to network assets anywhere in the world.  From coffee makers to ship propulsion system, there is a growing realisation that reducing support cost and management of SLA (Service Level Agreement) will be significantly enhanced using IIoT remote access. IIoT can be used to gather telemetry data, diagnose issues or update systems, without the need to attend the installation.  The concept is not new, Westermo has been building industrial modems for remote serial access for decades. The difference now is the media has changed from a dial-up telephone line to any media connected to the internet, from wireless mobile to satellite.

The WeConnect system from Westermo offers a flexible and secure solution for remote connectivity across the internet for all IIoT connectivity requirements, from machine manufacture and support to utilities.  Based on the core values of easy to use, secure and resilience. WeConnect requires no technical knowledge to administer, yet the links to the remote locations are protected by the highest levels of cybersecurity encryption. To ensure complete data isolation of each WeConnect instance each user is hosted on a separate secure server. Triplicated geographically separated host sites ensure the maximum availability of the WeConnect system.  In the unlikely event of a total loss of a hosting centre, the next best hosting location takes over the complete operation of WeConnect.
