As efforts continue to protect public health and slow the spread of the coronavirus (or COVID-19), workers in all industries are increasingly being asked to work remotely to ensure business continuity.
In responses, GE Digital is offering free Remote Monitoring and Control licenses to its iFIX and CIMPLICITY customers, empowering them to work remotely and continue to keep their plants running during this difficult time.
The web-based solution gives plant operators and management teams real-time monitoring and control access to plant operations and performance over a secure-by-design connection such as VPN. This allows critical infrastructure to operate with a reduced crew on site, while being able to coordinate with their wider teams remotely.
The hope is to make it easier for mission-critical industries including water and wastewater production and distribution, food and beverage manufacturing, consumer packaged goods and pharmaceutical companies to continue providing vital services to communities.
By enabling mobile workers, industrial companies are better able to ensure the safety of their workers while continuing to serve their customers.
