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:

• Certificate-based authentication
• Encrypted VPN communication (e.g., OpenVPN, IPsec)
• Central user and access management

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:

• Wireless communication
• DSL connections
• Existing private networks

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:

• Reduced downtime through immediate secure remote access for troubleshooting
• Lower service costs by minimizing the need for on-site visits
• Centralized management of all VPN connections
• Scalable architecture for large and distributed installations
• Automation via REST API for efficient operation

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