Remote Control for the Plant Floor. Safe, secure, and always on.
Fields & Foster Network sets up manufacturing remote access Louisiana teams can use without putting PLCs, HMIs, or engineering stations at risk. One bad session can stall a line. We keep the session tight.
We build access around OT rules, vendor approvals, and session logging for plants, oil and gas support firms, construction crews, and engineering offices near Lake Charles.
Keep production moving while your team checks equipment from another site.
OT traffic stays apart
We keep IT and OT on separate VLANs, then route RDM through a controlled jump point. Simple. Clean. Easier to audit.
Read-only when needed
Vendor diagnostics can run in read-only mode so a contractor can inspect a fault without changing a live process by mistake.
Recording and alerts
Every approved session is recorded, logged, and cut off if activity looks wrong. That matters on plant floor PCs and SCADA workstations.
OT-specific remote access controls
SCADA workstation security needs more than a password and a VPN. It needs policies that fit the equipment, the shift, and the plant's safety rules.
We map access to the role. Operators get the least access required. Vendors get only the window they were approved for.
Separate networks
Keep plant systems off the same path as office traffic. That lowers noise and keeps access paths easier to trace.
Session rules
Set role-based profiles for RDM for industrial PCs, with clipboard limits, command controls, and time limits tied to the ticket.
Hard stop on anomalies
If a session drifts outside policy, it ends. No debate. No waiting for someone to notice after the fact.
Secure vendor and contractor access
Oil and gas IT support Lake Charles teams often need a vendor on the line after hours. We keep that access short, logged, and approved twice.
No shared credentials. No open-ended access. The window closes when the work is done.
Access ends on schedule, even if someone forgets to log out.
An internal manager and an IT admin both sign off before the session opens.
The session shuts down when the approved window expires. Clean finish.
This is the control point for plant vendors, panel builders, controls engineers, and service contractors who need remote work without direct system exposure.
Remote access to heavy engineering applications
Engineering software remote desktop for real work.
We tune profiles for AutoCAD, SolidWorks, plant design suites, and other heavy tools used on industrial desktops. GPU-accelerated sessions help keep the interface usable when the file size gets large.
Plant workstations
Connect to dedicated PCs without touching the control path.
GPU support
Keep 3D models responsive during remote review sessions.
License tracking
Session logs help show who used what, when they used it, and how long the licence stayed active.
Reducing downtime at a Louisiana petrochemical plant
Problem: engineers were driving two hours for after-hours PLC checks. The control room needed a faster way to reach approved systems without opening the door to the whole network.
Results that show up in the work order queue
When the approved session opens, the right engineer gets in fast and the plant keeps moving.
Before
Late-night travel for minor checks, extra plant interruptions, and more waiting for the right person to arrive.
After
A logged remote path into approved systems, with control over who can touch what and when.
That pattern fits plants, fabrication shops, and engineering firms that need faster response without loosening the safety grip.
Industrial Remote Access FAQ
Short answers for teams that need a plan before they approve any remote path into production systems.
Short answer: yes, if the access rules are set before the first session starts.
