Belden's Hirschmann & Secomea sign partnership agreement

Hirschmann and Secomea have already partnered on the development of a soon-to-be launched application, a Hirschmann Secure Remote Access Solution to provide remote network access, programming and diagnostics. The simple set-up, ease of use and secure technology make the Hirschmann Secure Remote Access Solution suitable for the machine building, automotive and food and beverage industries, which often need remote access to plants and machinery around the world.

Remote access reduces the need for travel and allows staff to work more efficiently by handling multiple systems simultaneously. “Working with Secomea will enable us to expand our range with new and different hardware variants.” said Johannes Pfeffer, General Manager and VP core networking Industrial IT Solutions, Hirschmann.

“Working in partnership, we intend to develop a full range of Secure Remote Access products, which we believe will form an increasingly important part of our product portfolio in the future.” Michael Ferdinandsen, CEO, Secomea, said: “Hirschmann/Secomea combined Secure Remote Access hardware and software systems will help companies leverage the increased connection of devices, in line with the latest developments around the IIoT and Industry 4.0.”
