The quintessential tool for driving the digital transition in operations technology
Engineering and maintaining thousands of digital devices in hundreds of networks cannot be done using Excel and Visio. A purpose-built tool is required: The OTbase OT asset management software.
The missing piece for Industry 4.0
In complex OT networks, engineers can easily get lost when you have to rely on improper tools such as Excel and Visio.
The OTbase OT asset management software comes with a contextualized OT asset inventory, effective OT vulnerability management, automatic network topology and data flow diagrams, and OT obsolescence management. The OT Asset Management Handbook provides detailed explanations and practical use cases for each of these components.
The OT asset management handbook explains the use cases for OT asset management
Automatic evergreen OT asset inventory
OTbase automatically creates a detailed and comprehensive OT asset inventory that is refreshed every 24 hours. It also allows you to add metadata (context) and files to asset entries.
Automatic network topology diagrams
OTbase automatically creates L1 network topology diagrams, based on switch configuration data. Even your DLRs and fieldbus connections are exposed. And if you still want to see it in Visio, just click the “export” button.
Obsolescence management
Many of your OT assets are 20 years or older, and spare parts are no longer available. OTbase tells you exactly where those products are installed, using vendor product data that is updated weekly.
Vendor product notifications and safety advisories
Your automation vendor has just notified you of a bug, maybe even a safety risk in some of their products, identified by serial numbers or manufacture date. OTbase lets you to pinpoint affected devices in five minutes.
Asset health tracking
Identify network problems, full hard disks, memory exhaustion etc. before they turn into downtime. OTbase notifies you of deteriorating system health.
Outstanding system documentation
OTbase is your next-level OT system documentation platform. It lets you document cyber-physical system relations and dependencies like never before, allowing for easy knowledge transfer to the next generation of engineers.
FAT/SAT simplification
Is your new plant system configured according to specification? OTbase tells you in minutes, long before commissioning. What’s more, you can even use OTbase to create your system specifications that you pass to the integrator.
Automatic data flow diagrams
Want to know who communicates with whom, using what protocols? OTbase tells you right away, using easy to read, contextualized diagrams. You’ll see traffic categorized in local subnet, private peer subnet, and public Internet.
