The Endian Switchboard is at the heart of the Endian Secure Digital Platform, securely connecting users to devices (machinery, field equipment , etc). Using granular permission policies, businesses can completely manage permissions between users and gateways, devices and their corresponding applications. This ensures your business users, guests and vendors have proper role-based access to only the devices they need to perform their job function.
The Secure Digital Platform for Predictive Maintenance
The Endian Switchboard is the heart of the Endian Secure Digital Platform that provides secure remote access to field equipment, data collection and visualization, edge computing and powerful user and device permission management.
Secure Remote Access & Permission Management
Data Collection & Analysis
Collecting data from your IoT devices can enable companies to "see" their data in a new way that enables real-time services (support, management, etc) and can create new and innovative product feedback loops to enable faster and better product development. Using the Endian Edge security gateways you can collect the SCADA data locally from your machines which is then securely transmitted to the Endian Switchboard which stores the information and makes it available for visualization using customizable dashboards to view the data in any way desired.
Edge Computing
The Endian Switchboard supports edge computing which offers businesses the flexibility and cost savings to choose how and where they run business applications. Using edge computing, businesses can run applications at the network edge (using Endian 4i Edge X Security Gateway) or even run hybrid applications which share the application and data between the edge and a central location (data center or cloud).
Messaging Center
Using the Messaging Center, you can easily communicate different types of messages to your Switchboard users using a variety of options. You can choose between banners, notifications and agreements and you can assign a different color to your messages, depending on their criticality level.
