Secure remote maintenance for mechanical
engineering & Industry 4.0 and IoT platform
The IoT platform for secure PLC remote maintenance / Secure Remote Maintenance
Big-LinX is the platform developed in-house by ADS-TEC Industrial IT for secure remote maintenance and reliable IIoT applications. In the age of Industry 4.0 and the Industrial Internet of Things, factories around the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, digitalised and therefore more complex. That’s why remote maintenance and greater efficiency in controlling production systems and machines are becoming key factors. With the award-winning product Big-LinX and its IoT platform, travelling costs can be avoided through remote maintenance for mechanical engineering and PLCs. Reduce the expense of prolonged production downtimes and fully utilise the potential of Industry 4.0.
This makes Big-LinX® so secure
To keep your production running smoothly, you need to respond swiftly to disruptions as soon as they occur. If service is required, the system manufacturer connects to the Big-LinX rendezvous server via a secure VPN connection. Likewise to the system via the ADS-TEC firewall. A consistently secure and strongly encrypted connection is created with the integrated smartcard for authentication. Now the process of remote diagnostics and analysis can begin, problems can be fixed or spare parts identified and ordered to get your equipment up and running again as soon as possible. Efficient cost reduction through the elimination of travelling costs can be easily achieved with this PLC remote maintenance.

Secure cloud hosting
The servers are located in Europe – access is guaranteed worldwide, even in China – thanks to a secure-access gateway solution. The advantage: your entire machine data are extremely well protected and the processes are all fully compliant with applicable regulations and specifications such as the GDPR.
Maintenance and predictive maintenance
Preparing maintenance
Can the condition of machines be monitored automatically? Using our IIoT applications and services, you can monitor and proactively maintain machines in real time. The benefits include faster diagnosis, more accurate forecasts as well as trends, and easier drafting of recommendations for action. The ideal basis for needs-based maintenance that cuts costs and saves a lot of time.
Configuration made easy – no-code platform
Big-LinX makes it possible to implement sophisticated IIoT applications even without programming skills, enabling machine data to be read out or alarms visualised – without having to write a single line of code. Secure remote maintenance with Secure VPN.
