Yokogawa launches OpreX Managed Service -Cloud Edition-
remote monitoring and maintenance of OT/IT fi eld assets using a cloud platform. By visualising information on each device’s
Y
performance, reliability, and security for the entire plant system, the solution will help minimise unexpected plant shutdowns. The new service solution will be offered as part of the OpreX Sustainable Maintenance line-up.
DEVELOPMENT BACKGROUND Unexpected plant shutdowns result in unscheduled work and increased maintenance costs and lead to lost production opportunities, substantial economic losses, and lowered corporate credibility. As OT/IT convergence accelerates and
production facility monitoring systems are increasingly integrated with production management and information systems to improve effi ciency, there is a growing need for solutions that enable appropriate maintenance activities for the entire complex system, protect the system from security threats, and optimise production effi ciency in terms of both safety and effi ciency.

okogawa has announced the release of OpreX Managed Service -Cloud edition-, a solution that supports
In order to meet these needs, Yokogawa launched the OpreX Managed Service in September 2020 to digitise the monitoring and maintenance of production assets. With the development of the OpreX Managed Service -Cloud edition-, it is now possible to provide a solution that more customers can deploy with minimal lead time and cost for standardised functions.
FEATURES 1. Shared-cloud dashboard provides real-time information on the performance, reliability, and security of OT/IT devices. Customers can monitor and analyse the information on OT devices such as production equipment monitoring systems and fi eld devices, and monitor the health and security status of IT devices such as computer assets and network devices.
2. The powerful remote access function provides secure access even from outside the plant. Flexible session control with various combinations of conditions, such as limiting connections based on user role settings, site manager approval, connection time limits, and standard security features like the automatic
recording of access activities, provide a more secure remote access environment.
3. There’s proactive 24/365 monitoring and prompt maintenance support using the IT Service Management (ITSM) ticketing system. Yokogawa’s Network Operation Center (NOC) and Security Operation Center (SOC) monitor plant operations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to protect against security threats that are becoming more sophisticated every day. When an incident is detected, it is immediately registered in the ITSM ticketing system and troubleshooting is quickly initiated. This information is always shared online with the customer, who can check the status of the plant and resolve the issue as soon as possible.
4. Provision of optional specialised remote services means the following services are available for customers who have subscribed to this service. More remote services will be developed in the future: Distribution of Microsoft security updates and virus defi nition fi les, and provision of security diagnosis reports; and provision of health diagnostic reports for production equipment systems and fi eld assets.
