Case Study: Large Natural Gas Power Plant achieves secure, auditable OT remote access with XONA

Large Natural Gas Power Plant in Brazil Solves Operational Challenges with XONA OT User Access Platform

The large natural gas power plant in Brazil, the Porto de Sergipe plant, required a significant on-site workforce and faced a challenge in enabling remote control of its operational technology (OT) systems across two levels. It needed a solution for on-premise operation via mobile devices and off-premise control from a centralized command center. The plant selected XONA to solve these operational challenges.

XONA's OT user access platform provided a secure communication channel, allowing on-premise operators to access control room HMIs from a tablet and enabling remote operation from a centralized location. This solution led to increased operational efficiency and a potential 50% reduction in labor costs. The plant also benefited from a reduction in cyber risks through XONA's multi-factor authentication and compliance with stringent industry standards.
