Plant-wide OT network monitoring

plantPerfect Monitor provides centralized OT network monitoring for PROFINET and PROFIBUS networks. The secure web-based solution delivers live and historical visibility into devices, diagnostics, topology and network status across the entire plant. This helps operators detect communication issues early, reduce troubleshooting effort and improve plant availability. 

With flexible deployment options, scalable licensing and seamless integration into existing IT and OT infrastructures, plantPerfect Monitor supports condition-based maintenance, predictive maintenance and industrial cybersecurity initiatives.

Centralized OT network monitoring

• Provides centralized access to live and historical information from PROFINET and PROFIBUS networks in one application.
• Delivers plant-wide visibility into device inventory, diagnostic messages, health status and network statistics.
• Visualizes physical network structures through graphical PROFIBUS and PROFINET topology information.Detects communication issues early based on detailed interface metrics and error counters. 
• Supports PROFINET and PROFIBUS networks with smartLink products as data collectors

Modern and secure OT application

• Enables secure web-based access through HTTPS communication. 
• Supports reliable network data collection via MQTT with TLS/SSL encryption. 
• Facilitates multi-organization and multi-user operation in distributed environments. 
• Separates monitoring access from control communication using smartLink as a dedicated data collection interface. 

Flexible and scalable deployment

• Supports flexible deployment as Docker containers or virtual machines in Windows-based environments. 
• Integrates seamlessly into existing IT and OT infrastructures using established standard technologies. 
• Scales monitoring capabilities based on the number of connected PROFINET and PROFIBUS devices. 
• Offers flexible rental and perpetual licensing models to match operational requirements. 

From monitoring to operational excellence

• Reduces troubleshooting time by making network changes and anomalies immediately visible. 
• Supports condition-based and predictive maintenance through continuous historical data analysis. 
• Improves plant availability by identifying trends such as rising error rates and unstable connections early. 
• Creates continuously maintained asset transparency to support audits and industrial cybersecurity initiatives.
