HMS Networks Centralizes Industrial Machine Remote Access

HMS Networks has introduced Ewon Edge & Cloud, a solution designed to streamline remote access for industrial machines by centralizing management in a unified IIoT Cloud platform. The company states the service aims to reduce configuration time, allowing support teams to focus more on machine operations.

The Ewon Edge & Cloud service combines plug-and-play edge gateways with a cloud component intended for rapid and intuitive onboarding of industrial equipment. This approach is designed to eliminate the need for complex IT integration, enabling machine builders and end-users to quickly establish connectivity. Security features are integrated from the outset, addressing the balance between ease of use and protection in industrial settings.

This unified platform provides a single point of management for all machine connectivity and user access rights. HMS Networks indicates this centralization simplifies the application of consistent security policies across various environments and supports operational continuity. The platform is built to address evolving industrial requirements, including adherence to cybersecurity frameworks like IEC 62443, NIS2, and ISO 27001.

HMS Networks positions Ewon Edge & Cloud as a foundation for future industrial cloud connectivity, with the potential for new capabilities to be delivered via the cloud without requiring hardware changes. This continuity aims to allow for gradual adoption of new functionalities while maintaining a stable and secure infrastructure. The company suggests that simplifying central machine access ultimately improves remote support workflows and supports the transition to IIoT cloud use cases.
