July 5, 2012 - Secomea A/S announces LinkManager Mobile software application for allowing secure and remote access to industrial equipment via smart phones and tablet devices. The solution consists of a control unit at the factory (SiteManager) and a Web or Windows based client (LinkManager) for an engineer or end-user. These two components are tied together via a M2M communication server (GateManager) that is available as both a cloud based service and a stand-alone server. LinkManager Mobile is designed for accessing web enabled applications such as a custom Web GUI of a PLC, a HMI or a WebCam. Additionally, LinkManager Mobile can establish connection to the desktop of equipment running Linux or Windows.
A user simply connects to the device with LinkManager Mobile, and subsequently can start a VNC or MS Remote Desktop client and remote control the device. Since the LinkManager Mobile can run on an iPhone, iPad or Android device, the product is ideally suited for end-users that need to remotely access their own equipment for monitoring status or perform typical operator tasks. LinkManager Mobile supports two factor authentication login and encrypts all connections, thus ensuring uncompromised security. LinkManager Mobile user accounts can be created for free in the GateManager Portal when buying a Secomea start package. Such an account allows monitoring of status of equipment and viewing of event logs.
Applying a LinkManager Mobile “license” to the account, will further allow a user to connect to the Web GUI and remote desktop of the equipment. A license costs EUR 135.
