With LogTunnel, data from machines all around the world can be archived in a central location. Any irregularities in performance can be detected early to help maintain maximum availability.

LogTunnel is a feature of B&R’s Secure Remote Maintenance solution. Secure Remote Maintenance lets users check in on plants and machinery anywhere in the world from the office or on the go. Users can take control if necessary.Through continuous data logging, LogTunnel provides an ability to detect faulty components early and optimize service intervals. Setup is a simple matter of drag-and-drop and requires no special IT know-how.

The ongoing LogTunnel connection is not affected when a technician connects temporarily to perform remote maintenance; logging continues uninterrupted. Machine data can be stored on a central database server, in the cloud or at a data center, where it remains available for later analysis.

Secure remote maintenance functions are provided in accordance with all the latest IT and cybersecurity guidelines. Machine builders have runtime access to machine parameters from their entire installed base. All access is logged in detail for later traceability.
