The new version can also run in a virtual environment. This not only increases the platform's flexibility and availability but also the efficiency of maintenance and support services. The management platform is particularly well-suited for mass production and the manufacture of specialized machinery.
The Sinema Remote Connect management platform is a server application that allows users to conveniently and securely maintain widely dispersed plants or machines via remote access. Depending on the supported security protocols, machines can connect flexibly using OpenVPN or IPsec. This capability enables Sinema Remote Connect to communicate securely with most connected machines via routers. Siemens also offers a complete virtualization solution (Simatic Virtualization as a Service): This solution encompasses the commissioning of the Sinema Remote Connect Server, the configuration of virtual machines and their network structures, the installation and configuration of the operating system, and the immediate installation of the Simatic software. To support virtualized systems throughout their entire lifecycle, Siemens offers several coordinated services, such as Simatic Remote Services for remote access via a cRSP (Common Remote Service Platform) and managed support services, which cover all aspects of the virtualized host system.
