Real Time Automation has introduced IntraVUE™, a powerful monitoring and support tool designed to revolutionize the way maintenance techs and controls engineers manage critical, real-time production networks.

“In my three decades in automation, I’ve never seen a product that can improve manufacturing efficiency, performance, and security like IntraVUE,” stated John Rinaldi, CEO of Real Time Automation.

By shifting from a reactive to a proactive approach, IntraVUE empowers teams to significantly improve asset management, uptime, and overall network performance. With IntraVUE, manufacturers can:

Identify and Resolve Network Issues Instantly: IntraVUE continuously monitors all network switches and devices, instantly detecting and alerting manufacturers to critical issues such as failed connectors, duplicate IP addresses, VLAN misconfigurations, auto-negotiation failures, and overloaded segments.

Optimize Network Performance: IntraVUE builds Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for the entire network, individual switches, and devices, enabling manufacturers to proactively identify and address potential performance bottlenecks before they impact production. By identifying and addressing network issues and inefficiencies, IntraVUE helps manufacturers maximize production efficiency and minimize downtime.

Uncover Hidden Network Insights: IntraVUE’s time machine feature allows manufacturers to review network activity from months, weeks, days, or hours ago, providing invaluable insights into past network events like temporary connections or machine slowdowns.

Meet Critical Cybersecurity Standards: IntraVUE helps manufacturers comply with stringent cybersecurity regulations like the European Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) 2.0 by providing a comprehensive asset list, including device identities, locations, and connection history. Manufacturers can identify and mitigate security risks, protecting their critical production networks from unauthorized access and cyberattacks.

Gain unprecedented visibility: IntraVUE provides real-time insights into network health, device performance, and potential issues, enabling proactive troubleshooting and maintenance while minimizing downtime.

Enhance asset management: IntraVUE’s comprehensive asset tracking capabilities enable manufacturers to understand what network devices they have, how they are all connected and the version levels of each device on the network.

Customer case in point

“IntraVUE has proven to be an invaluable asset for our operations,” said the head production control engineer at a larger timber company. “The timely alerts and actionable insights provided by IntraVUE enabled us to prevent a costly outage and maintain our production schedule.”

When emails alerted the team about ping failures on a machine, they were able to quickly investigate and discover a failed network interface card (NIC). By proactively replacing the NIC, downtime and a production interruption were avoided.

Architected to solve the staggering number of manufacturing production control network challenges including the alarming vulnerabilities to cyberattacks, IntraVUE automatically detects all Ethernet-connected devices and assembles them into a connection tree map of the physical layer network infrastructure and a comprehensive list of every asset connected to your network, even those connected momentarily, bolstering a network’s cybersecurity.
