Press release from the issuing company
OMAC’s practical guide is based on real-world experiences shared by 37 industry leaders from manufacturing and identifies seven action steps for a successful and secure implementation.
Herndon, Va. – The Organization for Machine Automation and Control (OMAC) in Sept. 2020 convened a workgroup of 37 industry leaders from across the globe to define best practices for secure Remote Access to plant equipment. The result is a 90-page guide providing a comprehensive guide of the benefits, trends, and challenges of Remote Access.
Based on the expertise of key leaders from the automation ecosystem — from major manufacturing companies, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), system integrators (SIs), and automation vendors — the report balances the requirements of end users, plant operators, IT departments, and equipment and solution suppliers. ei3, an IIoT company with 20 years of track record in providing secure manufacturing connectivity, facilitated the meetings and identified critical topics that were subjected to in-depth review, for example:
"By documenting the best practices for Remote Access, OMAC has developed a practical and vendor-neutral guide that would assist in a secure deployment of Remote Access to respond, resolve and support manufacturing operations," says OMAC Chairperson Ron MacDonald. OMAC plans to continue to monitor the technology landscape for Remote Access to provide ongoing knowledge and experience to the manufacturing industry.
The guide is available free of charge to all individuals in manufacturing and the public at large and can be accessed here.
