THE PROBLEM
For 80% of industrial maintenance tasks, remote access would solve the problem in a matter of minutes. But without the right solution, every alarm triggers a service call.
200–400€ per service call (technician time + transportation). A fleet of 50 machines can cost more than 200,000€ per year in preventive maintenance visits.
In the event of a breakdown, travel time increases the MTTR by several hours. Every minute of machine downtime results in a loss of production.
Generic VPN solutions expose the entire network. Access to a PLC should not grant access to the client company's entire IT system.
THE SOLUTION
An encrypted tunnel is established in less than 3 seconds, with keys exchanged automatically. No TCP or UDP ports need to be opened on the site side.
Every access attempt is authenticated, authorized, and audited. There is never any split VPN or global network access.
Tunnel setup time < 3 seconds. Access TIA Portal, Sysmac Studio, or SSH from your usual PC.
Access HMIs, industrial PCs, and SCADA systems via RDP or direct VNC. No third-party software to install.
Control who can access which equipment, when, and from which IP address. Time-stamped audit log.
All VPN connections are logged: user, source IP, duration, and target device. CSV/JSON export.
Manage hundreds of sites from a single dashboard. Multi-tenant VPN connection with complete isolation.
Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Siemens S7 — everything passes through the VPN tunnel without any special configuration.
USE CASES
Problem
Every alarm triggers a costly trip to the end customer's site, even for a simple parameter adjustment.
Solution
An Eziwan gateway is pre-installed on every machine delivered. Technicians can connect from the office in 3 seconds. TIA Portal, Sysmac Studio, RSLogix: direct access to the PLC as if they were on site.
Measured results
COMPATIBILITY
The Eziwan VPN is network-transparent—it works with any PLC or HMI without requiring any special configuration.
