What is Open-Plant?

Open-Plant is a simple platform used to create data-driven industrial solutions.

It's Simple

It's Free

It's Engineer friendly

Open-Plant can be referred to as an "Industrial IoT Platform". But that's not entirely right. Open-Plant does not follow typical Industrial IoT Platform norms. Most IoT Platforms are centered around remote monitoring applications, Arduino, Raspberry Pi... those kind of stuff.

Open-Plant is designed to solve real-world plant problems. This is achieved through it's simple approach to data connection, analytics and visualization. Being simple makes Open-Plant Solutions easily replicable to other sites. We continue to build an arsenal of solutions ready to be deployed to any sites having similar problems.

Typical IoT Platforms are centered around remote monitoring applications. Open-Plant is designed to solve real-world Industrial problems. 

The premise of using Open-Plant Platform is to create Apps that are data driven. Today there is so much data, but little of it is used. The Open-Platform provides a powerful data analytics module that transforms your data into valuable information.  

What kind of Solutions?

Solutions that solve real-world problems using the correct technologies, not just technologies that are "cool".

Open-Plant solutions are driven to solve problems. We don't simply force a particular technology just because it's "cool". Thus said, the Open-Plant Platform is able to integrate many technologies with ease, ensuring you use the correct one when needed.

Open-Plant complies to Industrial Cyber Security Standards

Open-Plant has been packed with all the goodies from the Cyber Security world with no extra costs. We're not sure why some products charge you extra for such a basic thing.

Data Encryption

SCADA and MES systems typically do not provide any data encrytion. Open-Plant however provides encrypted communication through SSL Secured Socket Layer. This is the defacto standard for confidential transfer of information used in banking and commerce.

2-Factor Authentication

Open-Plant Logins are equipped with two factor authentication. A user can be required to supply both a password and a 6 digit code obtained from their mobile phones before they can log into Open-Plant.

On-Premise Isolation

We understand that some plants are not comfortable storing data on the Cloud. Open-Plants primary choice of installation is On Premise, where the system is totally isolated from the outside world. This ensures maximum security.
