Security, Remote Access, and Manufacturing Data

Achieve secure remote access with proven system integrators during the pandemic.

Hands-free headsets allow operators to troubleshoot machine failures or can be used when access is needed in remote locations.

In an era where interest in remote equipment access and diagnostics is a hot topic, Carlos Rojas, global industry lead for manufacturing solutions at Cisco Systems Inc., says food and beverage manufacturers can achieve reliability and security by using proven system integrators. “They can build in security-based solutions for that access. I even see legacy systems being connected in some older manufacturing operations.”

Cisco Meraki MV smart camera solution puts eyes on the ground in your physical environment, so that assets can be securely monitored and maintained remotely. Rojas says it’s a simpler solution than reviewing data directly from the machine because secure monitoring and management can be done via Meraki’s single-pane-of-glass dashboard from anywhere in the world. “Where you used to have support staff walking plant aisles checking equipment on a daily basis, today those eyes aren’t there necessarily because people are working from home. Video solutions are a simpler and quicker way to improve asset utilization and gain valuable business insights at scale.”

Certified system integrators can also connect machines securely using Cisco Secure Remote Access.

Meraki MV is a surface-mounted camera that can be placed on a ceiling or wall. It can be plugged into and powered over Ethernet, or connected wirelessly and powered via an AC adapter. “In a manufacturing operation,” Rojas says, “you want to put it on some of the most critical operations.”
