Centralized Network Management System for monitoring, controlling and maintaining industrial networking devices with real-time visibility and alerts.
Gridshield NMS (Network Management System) helps industries monitor their networking infrastructure from a single platform. It provides real-time device status, alarms, event logs and performance insights to ensure stable and secure network operations across critical environments.
Track device health, uptime and network performance instantly.
Get alarms for failures, disconnections and abnormal behavior.
Manage multiple sites and devices from one dashboard.
Smart tools to manage industrial networks efficiently.
Industrial network management begins with the identification and inventorying of all devices connected to the network. This includes not only traditional IT devices like routers, switches, and servers but also industrial devices such as PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), sensors, actuators, and HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces).
Continuous monitoring of network performance, health, and security is critical in industrial environments to ensure smooth operation and early detection of issues. Network management systems (NMS) are used to monitor parameters such as bandwidth utilization, latency, packet loss, and device status. Advanced diagnostic tools help troubleshoot network problems and pinpoint their root causes.
Industrial networks often consist of a wide range of devices with diverse configurations. Effective configuration management involves maintaining accurate documentation of device settings, managing configuration changes, and ensuring compliance with industry standards and best practices. Automated configuration management tools help streamline these tasks and reduce the risk of configuration errors.
These switches offer advanced network management capabilities, allowing administrators to configure and monitor the network. Features may include Quality of Service (QoS), Virtual LANs (VLANs), port mirroring, SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support, and more.
Security is a paramount concern in industrial networks, as they are increasingly targeted by cyber threats. Industrial network management encompasses implementing robust security measures such as firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), access control, encryption, and network segmentation. Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments help identify and remediate potential security risks.
Industrial network management involves tracking the lifecycle of network assets, including their procurement, deployment, maintenance, and retirement. Asset management systems provide visibility into asset inventory, maintenance schedules, warranty information, and end-of-life (EOL) notifications. Proper lifecycle management ensures that network infrastructure remains up-to-date, reliable, and cost-effective.
