Reading guide in this issue

The impact of the pandemic has had a huge impact on businesses, and companies with a high level of automation have lost relatively little compared to production companies with a low level of automation and a high reliance on manual labor. In the post-epidemic era, more and more enterprises have begun to actively use emerging skills to improve the level of industrial automation. Advantech's integration from software and hardware to information security protection provides users with intelligent solutions to ensure the security of massive industrial control data, and also saves huge costs.

　　Information security is a high level of coercion

The assembly line production operation leads to the whole body

Most of the current automotive factories use Win7/Win10 IoT and Win Server 2016/2019 server equipment for 24-hour continuous production. It is conceivable that when hundreds of machines and equipment are linked to each other, once one or many pieces of equipment show faults, it will have a huge impact on the streamlining operation of the entire production line. Especially during the epidemic period, there is a shortage of raw materials, and if the order supply cannot reach the market demand speed due to the shutdown of operations, not only will the demand bear a huge loss of funds, but the company's promise will also be greatly affected.

Industrial control information security incidents occur frequently, and the degree of uncontrollable danger increases

As more and more devices become connected to the Internet, the boundaries between IT (information technology) and OT (operational technology) are becoming more and more blurred, allowing hackers to see the opportunity to attack, and the issue of enterprise information security management has also crossed over from the office to the production line. When the protection is not done properly, it is easy to bring the virus into the factory and cause business interruption.

Millions of dollars per year are spent on protection

In the traditional operation method, when the factory is ready for data backup, it is necessary to completely shut down the production line and send multiple protection personnel to back up the data of each industrial control device individually. Together, you need to prepare multiple hard disks to back up different hardware devices. When data and resources are scattered throughout the factory and cannot be collected, customers need to spend nearly millions of dollars on protection costs every year.

Acronis solutions

In the face of the customer's problem, Advantech not only provided the basic hardware equipment and Windows operating system, but also responded to the customer's data backup security needs, and advocated the use of backup software Acronis solution, which not only ensured the security of the customer's massive industrial control data, but also helped the customer save a huge amount of money.

　　No downtime, backup at any time

Acronis' system-level backup can back up all data on industrial control and server equipment, including operating systems, system equipment, production use, use equipment, production data, etc., under the normal operation of the equipment, without affecting production, without waiting for equipment shutdown protection, and can be easily backed up anytime, anywhere.

Gather to handle and reduce repetitive operations

Acronis Backup 12.5 has the ability to log in to the server from any computer in the LAN through the web method, customize the backup plan for each device, and perform the required operations for each backup archive. Together, they support user-defined grouping, and do consistent customization for the same or similar devices.

Quickly restore backups to different hardware devices

Acronis' Turnaround Recovery feature allows users to restore backup saves to different hardware. Many production line equipment uses more than one brand/type of equipment, and data recovery is often difficult. Acronis' heterogeneous recovery feature can be automatically recognized to restore images on different devices. It can greatly reduce the time of repair after the problem has appeared, so that the equipment can be back in production in minutes, and the loss of the enterprise is minimized.
