FactoryTalk Vault

All those ones and zeros traveling through industrial networks from one automation asset to another is what brings your industrial operations to life. Securely transporting that data and successfully reconstructing it at its intended destination is what keeps your operations humming. And industrial communication is at the heart of it all. Without it, monitoring, managing, controlling, and securing your operations would be an impossibility. FactoryTalk® Linx provides an indispensable foundation for all things that speak FactoryTalk (and even those third-party devices that are integral partners in your industrial ecosystem). FactoryTalk Linx delivers a solution from small applications running on a single computer with a single controller to large distributed and even redundant data server configurations communicating with large automation systems. FactoryTalk Linx Gateway allows you to coexist and communicate with devices that natively speak FactoryTalk as well as those that don’t.

Kenesto is a cloud-based storage solution for managing engineering, design, and construction documents. Kenesto is much less expensive than enterprise PDM solutions but provides automatic file locking, versioning, vaulting, 2D/3D viewing, and web-based design review tools not found in consumer-grade cloud storage solutions such as Dropbox and Google Drive. The solution behaves like a mounted disk in the customer's office but the with a single source of truth in the cloud. File locking prevents users from overwriting each other's data. All versions of all files are stored in perpetuity. Using the familiar user interface of Windows Explorer, files and folders are arranged in the same way as one would expect for a C Drive. Kenesto includes tasks and workflows. A plugin for SolidWorks is available for no charge. All file transfers from the user’s local computer to the cloud are encrypted. All files are stored in secure AWS S3 and are encrypted.
