How PRTG helps keep produce fresh for 50,000 weekly vegetable boxesRiverford Organic Farmers Ltd. delivers vegetables to over 50,000 customers a week. Like many major companies with an IT estate and multiple sites to manage, there is a vast array of devices that are integral to keeping the business functioning at peak performance. It?s important for the IT team at Riverford Organic Farmers to have visibility of these devices from both an IT infrastructure and environmental monitoring perspective. This is even more integral to a food and beverage business because the food needs to be kept fresh and at the right temperature and humidity 24/7. Use case: infrastructure monitoring in the energy sectorManaging power plants and energy grids is a massive undertaking: they are a combination of Operational Technology (OT) networks, IT networks, and distributed facilities and infrastructure. Because of this, an approach that relies on remote access and monitoring is key. Obviously, we?re most interested in the monitoring aspect of this approach, and specifically: how it can be integrated into an overall management and control solution to provide an holistic overview for OT operators. To give you an idea of how monitoring fits into the picture, let?s take a look at a concrete example. 5 Tips for infrastructure transparencyInfrastructure transparency is something that IT admins, professionals, and all who deal with infrastructure want: visibility of not only what?s in the infrastructure, but also dependencies between devices, systems and other components. At its core, infrastructure transparency means knowing everything about ALL of your IT assets. Transparency also helps you understand where your infrastructure is at risk ? such as the existence of shadow IT, cyber security vulnerabilities, and more. It?s the key to transforming and optimizing your technical landscape. But how do you go about achieving this kind of transparency? Cybersecurity for OT networks: navigating the digital landscapeIn today's highly connected industrial world, the intersection of IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) is reshaping how businesses operate. However, this convergence also brings significant cybersecurity challenges. The rise in cyberattacks on OT systems, particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, underscores the urgency for robust cybersecurity measures??. Companies in the manufacturing sector, for example, have been heavily targeted, with about 90% experiencing production or energy supply disruptions due to cyberattacks??. How to set up your own home lab for PRTG Network MonitorIf you work in IT or engineering, you probably know the value of having a controlled space to test new things, prove ideas, or just try to break things. Because every failure means that you have learned something. That's why it's better to learn in a safe environment and leave your production systems unaffected. In this article, we'll guide you through setting up a home lab or testing environment for Paessler PRTG Network Monitor. GRUPOTEC keeps an eye on solar energy production with Paessler PRTGSpanish photovoltaic specialist Grupotec uses Paessler PRTG to monitor its international solar parks, integrating industrial controllers into the central IT monitoring system to create a holistic overview Monitoring power consumption on Rittal PDUs with Modbus TCPModbus is a protocol used to communicate information between industrial devices. The device requesting information is called a Modbus client or Modbus slave, and the device providing the information is called a Modbus server or Modbus master.Modbus is used to monitor programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human machine interfaces (HMIs), power meters, temperature controllers, gas detectors, water quality devices, and more .It can also be used to connect a supervisory computer to a remote terminal unit (RTU).Different options are available depending on the architecture: Modbus RTU and Modbus ASCII for transmitting information over serial lines, and Modbus TCP for transmitting information over Ethernet. |
