Industrie 4.0: “Innovations for a better world”

- Protected data and reduced risks

Tradition is no guarantee of the future. Swiss tech group Bühler, which has been operating in a highly competitive market for over 160 years, is well aware of this. This is why the global plant manufacturer consistently relies on digitalisation – with innovative services, state-of- the-art cloud solutions and secure end-to-end digitalisation of production processes – and of course, with the Airlock Secure Access Hub.

The Bühler Group realised early on that if it wanted to expand its leading position in grain processing, pres- sure die-casting and surface coating methods, then digital services would be a critical key to ensure new successes. Digital services which offer the customer significant added value but have to be absolutely se- cure when it comes to protecting against external at- tacks as well as encrypting interfaces and sensitive data.

In just 20 minutes and without any machine learning knowledge, we were able to achieve significantly higher protection for our applica- tions thanks to the Airlock Anomaly Shield. This changeover was not noticeable to the user due to the same data throughput.
