How it works
From delivery to connected in three steps
No inbound firewall rules and no public IP address required at the factory.
Plug into the PLC network
Connect power and Ethernet on site. The unit establishes its own secure outbound connection.
Your engineers tunnel in
Authorised engineers connect through the portal and work with the PLC as if they were on site.
Access with control
Built for industrial support teams
Give engineers the visibility they need while keeping each customer, site and device separated.
Per-device VPN
Every field unit has an isolated tunnel and a distinct identity. Access can be managed device by device.
PLC visibility
See reachable PLCs and their addresses before connecting, reducing guesswork during remote support.
Multi-engineer access
Grant the right people access to the right sites without sharing credentials or one common VPN profile.
Encrypted end to end
Modern encrypted tunnels protect traffic between engineers, the PlantReach gateway and the factory edge.

FAQ
Questions before you connect
Does the factory need a public IP address?
No. The PlantReach unit makes an outbound encrypted connection, so it can operate behind typical mobile-network CGNAT and site firewalls without an inbound public address.
What does the unit connect to on site?
It connects to the PLC or machine Ethernet network and to its configured upstream internet connection. Your engineer then reaches authorised PLC addresses through the tunnel.
Can several engineers use PlantReach?
Yes. Engineers use individual access profiles, and permissions can be assigned to the companies, sites and devices they support.
Am I locked into an annual contract?
No. PlantReach is billed monthly per connected device and can be cancelled at any time.
