Case Study: Lesaffre achieves secure remote access and improved uptime with HMS Networks Ewon Cosy+ and Talk2m Pro

Lesaffre boosts uptime in less than a year with HMS Networks

Lesaffre, a global leader in yeast production, faced challenges in managing remote access for hundreds of machines maintained by numerous external suppliers. They lacked a standardized, secure method for remote connectivity that complied with strict cybersecurity requirements, which limited visibility and increased the risk of production downtime. To address this, they worked with vendor HMS Networks to implement the Ewon Cosy+ remote access gateway and the Talk2m Pro management platform.

The solution from HMS Networks provided a secure, centralized infrastructure using outbound-only VPN connections for safe remote access. This gave Lesaffre full control and visibility over machine access for their suppliers. The results included significantly improved operational efficiency with faster troubleshooting and reduced downtime, enhanced security through strict access controls, and a scalable system for integrating both new and legacy equipment across all their global production sites.
