Making the case for remote access
16 September 2019
For as long as industrial machine builders have existed, they have had the desire to look into the operation of their machines from afar.
Typical use cases for remote access to industrial machines include:
- Troubleshooting and programming Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) remotely
- Viewing and controlling remote Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs)
- Connecting to a local web camera to give greater visual assistance
- Supporting Field Technicians for commissioning
Benefits include:
- Removing travel costs & environmental impact
- Improving responsiveness
- Reducing the impact of emergencies
- Optimising engineers' workloads
- Maximising machine uptime and productivity
Overall, everyone is looking for more efficiency, which means less waste. Machine builders can achieve a competitive advantage using remote access to serve more customers and reach new geographic markets, even without a local service setup.
