Plantperfect monitor is a central, container-based application for monitoring industrial communication networks. The software collects and visualizes both live and historical data, provides complete inventory data for all devices, and supplies diagnostic and statistical values for network and interface statuses. All information is reliably collected and archived via the secure MQTT protocol with TLS/SSL encryption.

With the integration of Profinet, Softing is expanding the functionality of the software with a crucial component: Users can now centrally monitor heterogeneous fieldbus landscapes, seamlessly track system changes, and detect impending failures at an early stage.

This enables predictive maintenance and contributes significantly to increasing plant availability, the company states.

Thanks to its containerized software architecture, it can run flexibly on Windows systems or in Docker environments. The scalable licensing model offers a choice of purchase or rental options and is tailored to the number of devices to be monitored. This allows the solution to adapt seamlessly to the individual requirements of plant operators and service organizations.
