Every option is built on the same mbCONNECT24 software, for remote access, data monitoring, alarm management, web-based visualisation and IIoT applications. The difference is where the portal runs and who operates it. Very few OT vendors offer a remote service portal you can run on your own premises, and that makes mymbCONNECT24.virtual a strong fit for sites whose IT policy keeps remote access in-house.
