Case Study | ETM professional control
The Challenge The WinCC Open Architecture stands behind some of most complex , distributed , and remotely operated SCADA systems running critical infrastructures everywhere in the world . The software technology landscape is rapidly evolving towards the utilization of cloud systems , providing shorter time-to-market and update cycles . Modern operating environments like Docker containers or container clusters , require open and flexible software that is robust enough to protect against fraud while supporting a wide range of platforms , from ARM to x86 on the hardware side and Windows and Linux from an operating system standpoint . The modular structure of WinCC OA facilitates installation growth , easy maintenance , and deployment . The licensing system should be flexible so that new functions can be added effortlessly . This results in a wide range of items that can be combined in a specific WinCC OA product license .
The Solution ETM professional control has chosen CodeMeter as a powerful replacement of their home grown solution to meet the new requirements , providing uniform and fully aligned protection and licensing capabilities across all relevant systems and platforms , ranging from ARM to x86 , running on Windows and Linux , and from the smallest IoT device to the cloud .
