Almost 150 factories in Europe, Americas, Africa and Asia-Pacific.
Willing to replace existing, but outdated remote assess solution with a
standardized approach up to the latest cybersecurity and access control
requirements.
That became urgent with COVID-19 when, due to restrictions, service, maintenance, and commissioning staff could suddenly no longer travel. But MAHLE needed to ensure that operations continued running smoothly, including commissioning new lines.
SINEMA Remote Connect management platform used
for monitoring connections, supervising access, and system management. Thanks to the SINEMA Remote Connect, MAHLE can connect virtually any machine to the new servers, in any of it´s almost 150 production sites.
SCALANCE SC600 Industrial Security Appliance, as a part of the Defense-in-Depth industrial security concept from Siemens, protects the automation network from cyber threats while enabling reliable data transfer. It connects to SINEMA Remote Connect.
"In most cases, both, the internal and external support teams no longer need to travel to fix an issue. This, of course, saves travel expenses of our operations – but the main benefit is that it cuts service times dramatically.”
Sascha Schönfeld, Head of Digitalization Manufacturing, MAHLE
