SCALANCE M Industrial Routers A versatile portfolio —wired or wireless: SCALANCE M includes mobile wireless routers and routers for wired communication.

SINEMA Remote Connect provides easy remote access for teleservice and remote maintenance. Access remote plants or machines conveniently and securely, even if they’re integrated into other networks.

As the management platform for remote networks, SINEMA Remote Connect enables simple management of tunnel connections (VPN) between headquarters, service technicians and installed machines or plants.

SINEMA Remote Connect enables secure, certificate-based VPN tunnels and centralized management of all remote access connections, allowing only authorized users to access assets. An address book function makes setup very easy.

Support wireless, DSL and private network connections, allowing seamless integration with existing infrastructure and SCALANCE industrial routers and making remote access deployment flexible for any industrial environment.

Automate routine tasks and simplify the management of large installations with REST-API support. Efficiently scale remote access across multiple sites and users with minimal manual intervention.

SINEMA Remote Connect uses certificate-based authentication to establish secure VPN tunnels between service technicians, headquarters and remote machines, allowing only verified participants to access critical assets and data.

Establish the connection to SINEMA Remote Connect via wireless communication, DSL or existing private network structures. We offer a comprehensive portfolio of SCALANCE industrial routers for connecting to remote networks.

We offer hosting in accordance with the latest cybersecurity standards in an ISO/IEC 27001 certified data center. We also set up the SINEMA Remote Connect Server and the cloud instance and handle updates, licenses or backups.

The SINEMA Remote Connect Server is the foundation for enabling secure remote access to distributed machines and plants. During setup, the server is configured and commissioned—typically within a virtual machine environment. It centrally manages all VPN connections, users, and certificates required for secure remote access. The setup process is straightforward and can be completed in just a few steps, allowing companies to quickly establish a secure remote access infrastructure.

Setting up SINEMA Remote Connect clients is simple and ensures structured, secure remote access. As a first step, a group concept should be defined to organize communication relationships and access rights. This ensures that secure remote access is granted according to clearly defined roles and permissions. Afterward, users and end devices are created and configured, enabling secure VPN-based remote access to machines. This structured approach simplifies management and supports scalable secure remote access deployments.

SINEMA Remote Connect is a platform for secure remote access to distributed machines and plants. It allows service technicians and operators to remotely access industrial assets via encrypted VPN connections—enabling secure remote maintenance, troubleshooting, and monitoring from anywhere. By centrally managing all connections, SINEMA Remote Connect ensures that secure remote access is both efficient and fully controlled.

SINEMA Remote Connect enables secure remote access through a central server-based architecture . Both the service technician and the remote machine establish separate, secure connections to the SINEMA Remote Connect server. After authentication using digital certificates, the platform allows controlled access between authorized participants. This approach guarantees that secure remote access is only granted to verified users, with all connections centrally managed.

SINEMA Remote Connect is designed to ensure highly secure remote access to industrial assets. It includes:

These mechanisms ensure that only authorized users and devices can establish secure remote access connections, helping protect critical infrastructure and sensitive data.

SINEMA Remote Connect provides flexible options to integrate machines and plants into a secure remote access infrastructure. Assets can be connected via:

With SCALANCE industrial routers and Industrial security appliances, integration becomes especially efficient. Thanks to autoconfiguration , SCALANCE devices can be easily integrated into the SINEMA Remote Connect environment with minimal manual effort. This significantly reduces setup time and simplifies large-scale deployments, while ensuring that all devices follow the same secure remote access standards. As a result, companies can easily expand their secure remote access architecture without complex configuration processes or major infrastructure changes.

SINEMA Remote Connect delivers clear advantages for secure remote access in industrial environments:

This makes it a reliable and future-proof solution for secure remote access and industrial connectivity.
