- Instant CRLs neutralized a compromised devide the moment it`s flagged
SMART
Central Registry for Uptime
- Automated certificate renewals via Push and Pull
- Randomized staggering prevents thundering-herd overload
- Cross-subnet discovery finds servers across every production line
SIMPLE
Eliminate Shop-Floor Complexity
- No more walking the floor with USB sticks
- Standard OPC UA interfaces work across manufacturers
- Legacy, GDS-unaware equipments joins without a code rewrite
Compatibility
- OPC UA discovery functionality operates reliably even on systems with very long station names.
- On Windows systems, the OPC UA discovery service is not installed by default, in order to support a secure-by-default deployment model.
- Tani GDS Push supports OPC UA-enabled PLCs, controllers, and industrial devices that implement remote certificate and trust management mechanisms.
- Compatibility depends on device model, firmware, OPC UA stack version, and configuration.
