One platform, many plants

Plant A does it this way.
Plant B does it differently.
Plant C not at all.

Keeping OT standards consistent across multiple sites is one of the biggest challenges for manufacturing companies that are growing or already operating internationally.

eguide4DATA was developed precisely for this requirement:
as a multi-site capable OT platform that combines central governance with local autonomy –
multi-tenant, scalable, and without compromises in transparency and compliance.

Why multi-site OT management is so complex

• Different machine parks and PLC generations per site
• Local engineering tool versions and individual workarounds
• Manual backups with completely different standards in each plant
• No uniform versioning and approval processes
• Lack of transparency for OT management, IT/OT security, and auditors

What true multi-site capability means

Multi-tenancy & data separation

Each site is managed as its own tenant – with its own components, users, permissions, and backup configurations.
No plant can see the data of another.

For central roles, a group-wide view is possible if required – with an overarching overview.

Hierarchical roles and permissions system

• Central OT teams define standards
• Local teams execute
• Each user receives exactly the permissions required for their task

The dual model: central governance, local autonomy

Defined centrally:

• Backup policies
• Versioning rules
• Alert configurations

Implemented locally:

• Operational control
• Site-specific requirements
• Working within clearly defined boundaries

Central KPI dashboards

The analytics module provides group-wide overviews, for example:

• Backup success rates
• What is stored at the supplier
• What is locked
• Change velocity by plant and device

👉 no manual report creation required
