Secomea and Inuatek Technology Partnership

From secure machine access to data-driven industrial services

Inuatek is a Secomea Technology & Alliance Partner.

Together, Secomea SiteManager and the Inuatek Data Collection Cloud combine secure remote access, industrial data collection and operational insight in one integrated solution.

Machine builders and industrial companies can use an existing SiteManager installation not only for secure remote service, but also as the edge foundation for dashboards, alarms, analytics and new digital customer services.

One SiteManager. More value from every connected machine.

Secomea SiteManager is widely used to provide controlled and secure remote access to PLCs, HMIs and other industrial equipment.

Its built-in Data Collection Module also makes it possible to collect data from industrial protocols such as:

Siemens S7
Modbus
OPC UA
EtherNet/IP
HTTP and REST-based sources

Through the close integration with Inuatek DCC, this data can be transformed into real-time dashboards, alarms, reports, fleet views and operational insight.

The result is a unified foundation for both remote service and data-driven applications - without adding another gateway to the machine.

More than a standard cloud connection

The integration between SiteManager and DCC goes beyond simply forwarding machine data.

It combines four closely connected capabilities:

1. Efficient and secure data collection through SPD

SiteManager DCM communicates with DCC using Secomea’s SPD protocol.

SPD was designed for efficient industrial data delivery, including installations using cellular, satellite or bandwidth-constrained connections. Communication is initiated by the SiteManager and protected using TLS and device-specific certificates.

The protocol supports both data delivery and management of the DCM configuration through the same secure communication flow.

This gives machine builders an efficient and scalable way to connect deployed SiteManagers to DCC without opening inbound connections at the machine site.

2. Graphical DCM configuration in DCC

DCM normally uses a Secomea-defined JSON configuration.

Inuatek DCC provides a graphical configuration interface on top of this format, allowing users to configure collectors, protocols, addresses and data points without manually editing JSON.

Configuration errors and validation feedback are shown directly in DCC, simplifying both initial setup and ongoing maintenance.

3. Automatic configuration synchronization

Configuration changes can be made centrally in DCC and synchronized back to the SiteManager DCM.

When the SiteManager communicates with DCC, it checks whether a newer configuration is available and applies the update automatically when cloud configuration updates are enabled.

This means that administrators do not need to log into each individual SiteManager to maintain the data collection configuration.

Reusable configurations can also support efficient provisioning across fleets of similar machines.

4. API-integrated remote access and machine interaction

The integration also uses Secomea’s API capabilities to connect data insight with secure action.

From a DCC dashboard, an authorized user can:

Open a VNC interface on a connected PLC or HMI
Open a web-based visualization or device interface
Move directly from an alarm or dashboard to the relevant machine
Write an approved value to a Siemens S7 or Modbus PLC

A write operation could, for example, be used to:

Acknowledge or clear an alarm
Adjust a setpoint
Enter a production batch value
Change an approved operating parameter

Access remains dependent on the configured Secomea account, permissions and SiteManager connectivity. PLC logic and system design must ensure that only appropriate registers and safe functions are exposed for writing.

From insight to action

In many industrial systems, machine data and remote access exist in separate tools.

An alarm appears in one system.
The technician must identify the machine.
Another application is opened.

The correct remote access account and device must then be found.

With SiteManager and DCC, these steps can be connected.

A user can:

Receive an alarm from a machine
Open the relevant DCC dashboard
Review current and historical machine data
Launch secure VNC or web access from the same context
Diagnose the issue or perform an approved machine interaction

This creates a faster and more coherent workflow for operators, service teams and machine builders.

Designed for scalable machine fleets

The integration is suitable for both individual installations and larger fleets of similar machines.

Reusable provisioning

A standard SiteManager configuration can be prepared and reused when provisioning new machines. When a SiteManager connects, DCC establishes its individual device identity and communication credentials.

Central configuration management

Data collection configurations can be maintained from DCC instead of being managed separately on every SiteManager.

Store-and-forward data collection

The SiteManager can buffer collected data during a temporary connection loss and deliver it when connectivity is restored.

Independent remote-access control

Data collection and interactive remote access use separate communication mechanisms. This allows data collection to continue even when interactive remote access has been disabled through the SiteManager’s digital-input control.

Easy SiteManager replacement

A SiteManager can be replaced through the standard GateManager appliance-replacement process without losing the corresponding DCC device identity or historical data relationship.

A Technology Partnership built around integration

Secomea’s Technology & Alliance Partners combine Secomea’s secure connectivity platform and APIs with complementary technologies and industrial applications.

The partnership between Secomea and Inuatek reflects this principle:

Secomea provides the secure edge connectivity, remote-access foundation and SiteManager data-collection capabilities.

Inuatek DCC transforms the collected data into dashboards, alarms, analytics, fleet management and integrated operational workflows.

Together, the technologies help machine builders and industrial companies move from simply connecting to machines towards creating scalable, data-driven services around them.
