The quintessential engineering tool for the digital transformation
Modern OT architectures are no longer confined to individual machines. They span multiple factories and automation products. What used to be local must now be seen in an enterprise-wide context. This is where proprietary tools fail. It’s where OTbase comes in.
Start with a contextualized OT asset inventory
Imagine you had deep visibility into all networked OT components at your fingertips. With OTbase you have! No matter if you need to identify serial numbers, IP addresses, installed firmware versions, or even network topology!
Use automatic L1 network topology maps and IP address management
OTbase automatically creates L1 network topology diagrams, based on switch configuration data. Even your DLRs and fieldbus connections are exposed. Want to reserve IP addresses? Easy.
Document and analyze physical process dependencies
Determining device criticality is easier said than done. Which process functions are affected by the failure of a given OT device? With the next-level process modeling tools in OTbase, you can find out before disaster strikes, and take appropriate precautions. The result is a supercharged system documentation that is an engineer’s dream.
Detect breaches of system integrity
Is the digital configuration of that machine line / plant component still in its approved state? Did someone modify the ladder logic of a PLC, or update firmware without telling you? OTbase will find out automatically and notify you accordingly. No more detective work when trying to figure out why a certain process function no longer performs as it used to.
Identify obsolete devices before they fail
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.
Ace your cyber FAT/SAT
Is that 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.
Learn what OT asset management is all about
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.
