Home > Automation technology > Bridges across space and time: Be where the action is with remote access
Carry out maintenance work and identify faults before they arise, across any distance and at any time: this vision is becoming a reality in the age of Industry 4.0 thanks to digital networking.
Bachofen is the obvious partner for the successful implementation of remote access systems. We ensure, by means of continuous training and knowledge transfer from the system manufacturer to the original equipment manufacturer, that intelligent networking succeeds across space and time.
eWON remote access systems bring machinery and systems into direct reach from any location around the world:
The eWON Cosy industrial VPN router makes it possible to perform simple and secure remote maintenance on machinery and installations over the internet. The machine operator receives a turn-key solution with access free-of-charge.
eWON Flexy gathers relevant machine data remotely and provides other data services such as reliable alarm management. The system supports all leading protocols and allows simple integration of third-party providers’ technologies.
In its nature as an industrial router, the eWON Netbiter records operating data by remote SMS access and via the cloud. Data can be accessed at any time and from anywhere using any web browser.
«Move the servicing of your machinery and systems to the internet and save on time and costs with future-proof remote access systems.»

When monitoring machinery, processes, actions or user behaviour, speed and clarity are paramount. The most efficient medium for these purposes is light. With its new WLS27 Pro-lights that are...
Installing sensors for vehicle identification doesn’t have to mean digging trenches and laying cabling. Banner’s wireless alarms are smaller than a hockey puck, can be sunk into the floor...
Once machines start to vibrate, production can stall or come to a complete standstill and the costs resulting from downtime can take on astronomical proportions. Predictive maintenance using a...
Some machine manufacturers are still hesitant when it comes to relocating controllers into the field, even though the benefits of decentralization are very clear. The CODESYS-3 controller TBEN-Lx-PLC from...
The use of Ethernet in EX zones within the process industry was previously impossible due to safety issues. But now Turck has made a breakthrough with its GEN-3G Ethernet...
With the TBEN-S, TBEN-L and FEN20 fieldbus modules, Turck is opening up new possibilities for machine and plant manufacturers. Each device on a network can be reached via an...
A linear guide should take up minimal space but also deliver maximum performance. This contradiction inevitably leads to compromises when evaluating the options. But this is now a thing...
As a rule, manufacturers come under a lot of pressure in terms of time, costs and innovations. And on top of that, they are faced with consistently high customer...
Making mistakes is human. Even the most reliable employee can make mistakes during commissioning and those mistakes can cause the installation process to stall, affecting productivity. Using a Pick-to-Light...
Profinet has established itself as the communications standard for factory automation. Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers have been demonstrating the practical suitability of industrial Ethernet-based data exchange for a number...
An identification system’s true value becomes most apparent when it is subjected to demanding general conditions. These are particularly challenging in the food industry. Due to its resistant properties,...
In the field of medicines and pharmaceuticals, it is a mandatory legal requirement for products to be identified and for all of the manufacturing and processing to be traceable....
There are many aspects to the safety of machines, plant and vehicles. However, designers and operators have more important things to do than be setting up an evaluation process...
Is the tool suitable for the next processing step and when is the next service due? This information is crucial for ensuring that manufacturing runs smoothly with no long...
Many operating faults in machinery and systems go undetected until the process itself starts to falter. If the operation was permanently monitored, any functional faults that were about to...
Fake is on the advance. Even the pharmaceutical industry has to fight against copies and counterfeits. One effective measure is seamless product identification across the entire production and distribution...
Need to disconnect fluid connections quickly, cleanly and without any tools? Then look no further than the Rectus couplings from Parker. Parker has the right coupling for every conceivable...
In the world of Industry 4.0, modularity is gaining increasing importance in the manufacture of machinery and systems. This development is also promoting the decentralisation of I/Os and control...
Machine are carrying out increasingly complex functions and are increasingly networked, reflecting Industry 4.0. This also results in higher demands on the optical sensors. The future lies in LED...
When speed is required, conventional ball screws quickly reach their limits. Traditional types have a DN value of between 60,000 and 120,000. THK’s new BSM ball screw exceeds these...
Unplanned machine and system downtimes are a costly irritation for producers in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. The cause can often be found in the control cabinet, which...
Compressed air is expensive. One cubic meter can easily cost 10 to 20 Swiss centimes. Too much to waste. Flow sensors from EGE with IO Link display leakages immediately...
Industry 4.0 is entirely dominated by the cloud, however the massive potential offered by these types of technology is still far from being exhausted. The key when it comes...
The ability of measurement and control systems to communicate is of central importance to the safe operation of systems. Electric actuators from Valpes can be configured and controlled using...
High-performance machine guarantee a high level of productivity thanks to efficient production. This is compromised if an operating person is required to load and unload the machine. DENSO robots...
There used to be a deep divide between information technology and operation technology. This was also a problem for building services, where automation is progressing in leaps and bounds....
Finding space- and time-saving solutions is becoming increasingly important in equipment manufacturing. This applies to all areas of the process. Parker has enhanced the Carstick® push-in cartridge for the...
The heart of IT systems lies in the control cabinet. This means that it is even more important to ensure that it is protected against physical influences such as...
Wireless networking is a key element of Industry 4.0. It is, however, difficult to implement in industrial environments. Until now, interference and long distances have affected the wireless transfer...
Inductive sensors, for applications in special machine engineering and other demanding fields, should ideally have high switching distances, be compact and form a key element for reliable machine and...
