Software & IT - The winners
3rd place - Paessler Thanks to its support for OPC UA, MQTT and Modbus, the IT monitoring solution Paessler 'PRTG' can integrate both IT and OT environments, as modern production processes include numerous IT systems and devices in addition to industrial components. The Paessler 'PRTG' IT monitoring solution notifies those responsible immediately in the event of a fault - via email, SMS, push notification or other channels. In many production plants, however, industrial systems such as SCADA, MES or DCS are the central element for controlling and monitoring production. These systems are generally not capable of IT monitoring and cannot integrate monitoring data from IT monitoring systems.
This is where Paessler comes in with the 'PRTG OPC UA Server': The software uses OPC UA to send monitoring data and alerts from 'PRTG' to industrial control systems. This allows complete production processes, including all OT and IT components, to be mapped and monitored centrally in industrial control systems.
