The limitations faced by currently defined SECS/GEM standards are as follows: Manual integration that cannot be totally avoided. The factory automation system cannot query SECS/GEM software to determine its full capabilities because different vendors have customized the same message pairs for different applications. Therefore, SECS standard requires significant manual intervention/customization efforts for each application function.Weak security mechanism. SECS is weak in its security mechanism. There is no concept of client authentication or access permission in SECS. Issues of security are becoming important operational considerations because of the need for remote equipment engineering and remote diagnostics.Single-client architecture. The implementation of SECS is based on a point-to-point link, and there is only one software process (i.e., one point) on the factory side. This is a critical limitation because the newly developed factory applications such as advanced process control (APC), factory automation, and advanced planning and scheduling (APS) systems require a steady stream of accurate real-time data, even in the form of peer-to-peer communications to facilitate a decision-support process.

All important visualization and configuration functions may be effected at the control center, or remotely with a browser. This is particularly convenient in cases where more than one object must be monitored from a single location. This scheme also allows for remote diagnostics and troubleshooting of the system, with benefits of timeliness and cost.

This is another cloud-based solution from SOTI intended for administrators, help- desk managers, and technicians to provide support for a fleet of devices. The tool helps in reducing operating costs, resolution of issues within a single customer call, and speedy resolution of issues. The tool provides these features across devices running various platforms such as Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry. Some of the key features are as follows: A powerful console for technicians to work on devices provides features to take remote control of a device, edit registry, record macros, record videos, take screen shots, download event logs, and view BlackBerry service books.Remote diagnosis of devices by collecting device information and using tools to manipulate services, tasks, and applications remotely.Instant chat facility with the device user or with other technicians.Hotline access to helpdesk for users by configuring helpdesk number in the device registry.Manage session and session history so that technicians can view or review their own session history or share it with other technicians for review. Technicians can transfer a session to another technician. Sessions can be recorded for training purposes. Session history can be used for analyzing any security breach.The tool provides advanced features for security. It supports 256-bit advanced enterprise security (AES) or 128-bit Triple DES algorithms for data encryption. Technicians should get end-user permission for resetting the device or editing registry remotely. The end user of the device can terminate the session at any time.

IIoT, through the opportunity of connecting different objects – both machines and equipment – (Gupta et al. 2020), can reduce storage and delivery lead times as well as logistics costs thanks to an improved product traceability and visibility (Hofmann and Rüsch 2017). Moreover, it facilitates production system monitoring through predictive maintenance and remote diagnosis. This in turn contributes to optimise reliability, time, quality, and efficiency (Kirazli and Hormann 2015). However, the IIoT application requires relevant organisational transformations and the creation of new business models, which might encounter change resistance. Additionally, huge IT investments are required (Laudien and Daxböck 2016; Tesch, Brillinger, and Bilgeri 2017). These drawbacks add to a possible lack of privacy introduced by the IoT paradigm together with an increase in production complexity (Malina et al. 2016).
