Hello Everyone!

We are excited to announce the launch of multi-site Agents! This new addition to our Industrial DevOps platform empowers you to scale your operations efficiently and effectively.

What are multi-site Agents?

Previously, Agents in DeviceLink had to be created within a Site, which meant that Agents could connect to Projects within a single Site only. As networked PLCs and industrial devices have become more common, we wanted to enable customers to connect their Agents to Projects at any Site across their entire organization. With multi-site Agents, it is now possible to create Agents at the Organization level and connect them to Projects at any Site.

Users on the Owner’s team can create and manage multi-site Agents by opening the Organization Settings page and selecting the “multi-site Agents” menu option.

Multi-site Agents provide on-demand flexibility for managing your automation infrastructure. You can now deploy agents across multiple sites precisely when and where needed. This means you can optimize resource allocation, reduce overhead, and focus on what matters most – innovation and growth.

Benefits of multi-site Agents:

• Operational Efficiency: Deploy agents as and where necessary without over-provisioning.
• Enhanced Flexibility: Scale your operations up or down seamlessly, adapting to fluctuating demands and project needs.
• Cloud-Powered Agility: Manage multi-site operations effortlessly through our intuitive cloud platform, accessible from anywhere.
• Security and Adaptability: Our robust security measures, including change management, automated backups, and role-based access control, ensure your operations remain secure and compliant.
