Partnership agreement for remote access solutions

The two companies have agreed to work together to develop new, easy to use secure remote access solutions which will enable users to remotely access sites for programming, diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Hirschmann and Secomea have already partnered on the development of a new Hirschmann secure remote access solution to provide remote network access, programming and diagnostics for applications in machine building, automotive and food and beverage industries, which often require remote access to plants and machinery. 

“Working with Secomea will enable us to expand our range with new and different hardware variants,” said Johannes Pfeffer, general manager and VP core networking Industrial IT Solutions at Hirschmann. “Working in partnership, we intend to develop a full range of secure remote access products, which we believe will form an important part of our product portfolio in the future.”

Michael Ferdinandsen, CEO of Secomea, said: “Hirschmann/Secomea combined secure remote access hardware and software systems will help companies leverage the increased connection of devices, in line with the latest developments around the Industrial Internet of Things and Industry 4.0.”
