Industrial sites have more information than ever across a wide variety of platforms, and without infrastructure in place to link these systems together it can be difficult to get valuable data in the right people’s hands. A plant network is the backbone over which many services expect data from other systems to work effectively. Robust network design is a requirement on the modern-day plant floor to provide that access across a network promptly, reliably, and securely. KAO has the experience to plan and implement the right network architecture based on your OT infrastructure while following industry standards and best practices to meet your data and cybersecurity needs. KAO engineers are ready to design and implement your facility’s network, whether it is an additional network segment for a site expansion, or a total network redesign to meet industry 4.0 initiatives.
BROAD EXPERTISE AND PROVEN SOLUTIONS
Securely Support Your OT Space From Anywhere
Sites typically need some form of troubleshooting, patching, and maintenance. If your site is located remotely this could require extensive travel costs and delay progress while support personnel are in transit. KAO engineers will ensure that your network environment is secured and ready for remote access should the need arise for support personnel to connect with OT systems from offsite. KAO can assist with remote networking solutions, including using radio or cell solutions to provide for secure remote access to physically isolated plant floors.
