What is the PLC/OIT Security Module?
The PLC/OIT configuration is one of the most common operator
interfaces found in nearly every pharmaceutical and biotech facility
in the world. Because PLC/OIT applications are not inherently
secure, an additional security layer is something that has been
needed throughout the industry for some time. Given the capabilities
and level of security provided by ADVENT's new PLC/OIT Security
Module software, now compliance is only a change control away!
Why is the PLC/OIT Security Module a better choice? The
Security Module is much more cost effective and faster to implement
than PLC upgrades or PLC-PC Hybrid systems. Implementation is
as simple as a Ladder Logic upgrade to your current PLC application.
Custom OIT screens are also provided with the application.
How will my company benefit from the PLC/OIT Security Module?
The Security Module serves as a physical security layer between
the application user and the PLC logic, thus securing the procedurally
controlled software resident on the PLC. The PLC/OIT Security
Module provides sophisticated data encryption and storage, administrative
and multi-level user security profiles, as well as tools for manipulating
and retrieving secure data. The Security Module is the first of
its kind! A custom built security application providing turnkey
solutions while solving compliance issues in your manufacturing
environments!
