Network segmentation in the machine and production network

Our solution optimises security and reliability for you and your customers

  • Optimisation of network quality and resilience against disruptions in the OT network.
  • Significant increase in network and IT security by dividing the OT network into security zones in accordance with IEC 62443.
  • Our routers act as an industrial firewall for effective separation of the production network and machine/automation cell.

Monitoring of IT and OT

Everything in view at all times for greater efficiency

  • Receive fault messages and alerts via SMS, e-mail, HTTP or MQTT in real time.
  • Fast response and effective fault handling through direct forwarding of notifications to service technicians or machine personnel.
  • Flexible response to various inputs thanks to integrated event/action handler.
  • Immediate error detection and monitoring of local network components through cyclical polling.
  • Sending fault messages to cloud systems and ticket systems in the production network.

Device2Cloud

Machine data in the cloud with the INSYS icom solution

  • Fast and cost-efficient cloud connection to a wide range of IoT platforms, enabling the automatic supply of wear parts or consumables.
  • The INSYS icom routers have a container environment – you have the option of installing your own application software.
  • The icom Data Suite serves as a modular system for protocol implementation, status monitoring and cloud communication.
  • With the icom Data Suite, you configure instead of programme.

MES / ERP

Machine data in the local IT location

  • Connection of the machines via the production network to higher control levels, such as MES or ERP systems.
  • The INSYS icom router acts as a security gateway for the connection.
  • The INSYS icom solution increases the service life of old systems, for example by connecting legacy protocols such as Modbus and proprietary protocols such as Siemens S7 directly to MES and ERP systems via MQTT or OPC UA.

FAQ Remote maintenance of machines:

How does the remote access solution from INSYS icom work?

Routers from INSYS icom can be installed in a machine’s control cabinet and connected to automation components such as PLCs and HMIs via Ethernet or serial interfaces. The routers then connect to the internet via an Ethernet, WLAN or mobile network to establish a secure, outgoing VPN connection to the icom Connectivity Suite – INSYS icom’s VPN and remote access solution. The icom Connectivity Suite acts as a secure ‘switching’ platform that provides the encrypted VPN tunnel between the user and the machine connected to the INSYS icom router (gateway). Application data is transmitted exclusively in encrypted form and is not cached.

What makes INSYS icom’s solution secure and trustworthy?

INSYS icom’s routers, VPN and remote access solutions are based on decades of expertise in industrial communication applications. They are continuously developed in accordance with strict security principles (security by design). At the core of these principles is the use of internationally recognised standards and the avoidance of proprietary technologies in our products.

Security is not only tested internally: independent penetration tests and external security audits ensure that current threats are taken into account and vulnerabilities are identified at an early stage. Our development is certified according to IEC 62443, and our software solutions are operated in ISO 27001-certified data centres. With a hardened router operating system (icom OS), development and production in Germany, and a consistent update policy, the result is a consistently trustworthy solution that is also used in critical infrastructures.
