As a mechanical engineering company, we are faced with the challenge of regularly having to carry out remote maintenance at our customers' premises. Our customers rightly expect a secure and transparent solution. The Sec3-Box forms the backbone for this and also enables us to acquire production data and offer our customers data-based cloud products. Over the last few years, X-Net has become a valuable and reliable partner for us, helping us to develop and offer targeted solutions for our customers.
Building Bridges
Developed for the future
Sec³ is an example of a successful combination of Austria's cutting-edge research & regional integrators and (further) developers as well as market leading industries.
Sec3 emerged from several research projects. Among
other things, it is based on the "Security by Isolation" security
system, which isolates different company and production areas from one
another in order to control the flow of communication via virtual
machines in demilitarised zones.
With LiSEC (world market leader in the development and manufacture of glass processing machines) joining the FFG lighthouse project IoT4CPS as a user, the project received significant input and requirements from an internationally active industrial company. With Sec3, X-Net managed to bridge the gap between research (e.g. Austrian Institute of Technology, Salzburg Research) and industry and successfully acted as an integrator, implementer, (further) developer and marketer.
Sec3 was developed precisely to meet the hardware and software requirements of a globally active industrial company, enabling digitalisation solutions of the present and future.
