Paessler launches industrial IT monitoring solution

JAKARTA (IndoTelko) – Paessler introduces new capabilities to its monitoring solution PRTG Network Monitor enabling organisations to have a holistic view of both operational technology and traditional IT infrastructure data insights.   

Paessler's PRTG Network Monitor is now able to support common communication standards within an industrial IT environment.

The monitoring specialist has developed PRTG to support an extensive range of industrial IT protocols. This allows PRTG to bring data from the factory floor into the monitoring concept using native sensors for OPC UA, MQTT and Modbus TCP. The result is a holistic approach to industrial IT monitoring by combining both operational technology and traditional IT infrastructure data insights.

Paessler has formed alliances with key players in the industrial IT space, namely INSYS icom, a manufacturer of smart machinery gateways, and Soffico, a vendor of the integration engine Orchestra, to facilitate the bridge between operational technology on the factory floor and IT systems across the wider business. It is now looking to further extend this ecosystem and is actively looking for new partners to further enhance the capability of its overall monitoring solution.  

Paessler has also joined the OPC Foundation, an industrial consortium that creates and maintains standards for open connectivity of industrial automation devices and systems. By being part of the community, Paessler is at the forefront of implementing the latest standards in industrial IT and provides its customers with the latest data insights into OT and IT.  

Paessler has made a number of new hires and appointments to strengthen the dedicated team that has been created to grow the business in the industrial IT space. The team has a focus on technology innovation, customer support, and the recruitment of partners to build out the industrial IT ecosystem.  

Markus Mediger, with experience in various business and technology fields at Siemens and Ericsson, joins Paessler to lead product innovation within the IoT and industrial IT space as Product Manager for IoT and Industry.  

Marcus Kraus, with over 20 years of experience as commercial and managing director in the industrial sector, extends the strategic alliance partnership network within the field of industrial IT as Manager, Corporate Development & Strategy.  

“With a strong customer base in IT monitoring, it’s a natural move for us to extend our capabilities into the world of industrial IT. The roll-out of these new market-driven features in PRTG, which are tailored to industrial environments, marks the beginning of our journey to build a more comprehensive offering for the evolving monitoring needs of our customers,” said CEO at Paessler Helmut Binder.(es)
