Panels and gateway from our own production

Pro class: TP10 Pro and TP8 Pro

A touch panel that is also the edge client. The operator works the plant on it, and the same device reads the controller and talks to the cloud. No second device in the cabinet is needed.

Smart home class: TP4, TP8 and TP10

The same job in the form factor made for the wall: for a flush mounting box or surface mounted. The same edge client runs on these too.

GWPro

Where no visualisation is needed on site, for instance in product business with one controller per plant, the GWPro does the same job without a display.

Certified device access

Only approved hardware connects, against documented criteria. That is not an end in itself: a device that supplies your plant data and accepts commands does not belong on an open list.

Which devices are approved is your decision, inside your tenant.

Remote access without an open port

When something is stuck in the field, reaching the device beats sending someone out. The devices bring an overlay mesh for that: the device builds the connection outwards by itself, encrypted and straight to the far end. No inbound port has to be opened in the operator’s network, no port forwarding has to be set up, and there is no VPN concentrator for somebody to run and keep current.

That is the difference that counts day to day: the classic answer to remote service is an entry into the operator’s whole network. A mesh connects two endpoints, and the operator can see which two.

Granted, time limited, logged. Access is granted per device and not for the fleet, it expires by itself, and every session is logged. That log is audited. For an operator this answers the question that always comes up with remote service: who was on which device, and when.

VPN remains possible. Where an operator’s IT requires a VPN, it is supported. The mesh is the way that needs no concentrator, not the only way.

Where to get it

The hardware comes from our own production. sinnotrade carries it.
