In recent years, cyber security has become a dominant theme in the manufacturing world. Cyber attacks are increasingly frequent and put data, systems and people at risk.
The problem is now solved with A4GATE, the integrated hardware and software solution to protect data confidentiality, system operations and operator safety.
A4GATE
If it is necessary to enter temporarily from the outside for maintenance, A4GATE is equipped with a switch capable of opening a network path from outside to inside, to be activated manually and with supervision, with active monitoring and logging through the Control room of what is happening. Opening is timed with a configurable interval.
A4GATE allows to avoid systems re-validation and re-certification after updates of the software security levels of the PLC/HMI components.
A4GATE can be configured as a hotspot to provide external connectivity to tools aimed at remote services. The system maintains the complete safety of the machine to which the operator is connected.
IMA Sentinel is the platform to autonomously monitor machine conditions in real-time 24/7, collecting raw data and translating them into meaningful and valuable information.
Sentinel provides: Intelligent and dynamic action lists for the operator to help improve efficiency, machine data statistics for smart line harmonization, real average performance for accurate production planning.
Monitor whenever you are your installed base with IMA Sentinel.
The Industry 4.0 model cannot ignore the data and the value they can generate. Connections via digital networks, information organization and interpretation are the ways to obtain optimized production results through event analysis, preventive and predictive maintenance.
IMA Group has carried out various projects regarding the interconnectivity of machines, creating services and products capable of optimizing the user experience of the plants. Thanks to the Control Room services, the customer is able to increase the plant efficiency through the use of detailed reports, specific alerts and general support 24/7 for taking charge of operational problems.
Data Rooms, secure in-cloud environments where production data can be saved, are becoming an increasingly important element in the companies’ production strategy.
IMA Data Room is the in cloud protected and safe virtual space where all information are collected and stored through IIOT technologies and where the data analysis software programs reside.
