Plant Portal

Enable the benefits of cloud based industrial platforms for even hard-to-reach assets with the Plant Portal kit by SolutionsPT | AVEVA Select UK & Ireland.

Cloud computing is now a well-established fact of life, and Industry 4.0 digitally connected IIoT solutions are now a staple in many industrial plants. But not all. Complexity, cost, and the time it takes to securely connect OT environments to a cloud solution are valid barriers to many industrial operations.

Plant Portal removes that complexity. Now any asset, at any site can be effortlessly connected to the cloud, allowing data to be accessed and analysed in real-time. Industry 4.0 just got easier.

Plant Portal Solo

Enable Remote and Stranded Asset Network Connection

Disparate or remote assets are frequently not connected to the network or internet enabled, due to the complexity of the IT operation required to configure a tiered network and the risk of cyber-attack.

Plant Portal Solo is a low configuration solution bundle which easily supports a ‘plug and play’ approach. With in-built industrial grade security and over 250 industrial communications drivers, the risk and time investment required to connect remote operational assets using traditional IT methods is removed. Now all data, from all assets can be centralised through cloud-based technology.

Plant Portal Connect

Bridge the IT and OT Divide

Many Industrial Enterprises have an air gap between company and plant networks because of the risk of cyber security and the effort involved to connect them.

Isolated OT automation networks can be connected to the Enterprise IT with the simple addition of the Plant Portal Connect solution which provides ready-to-go connectivity and security. The solution provides a secure path for data from the plant floor to the enterprise and cloud.
