Security First, by Design
In the era of the "Smart Factory," your production data and recipe intellectual property are your most valuable assets. At Blentech, we believe that Security is Paramount. Our software architecture is built to provide enterprise-grade protection, ensuring your plant floor remains secure, resilient, and fully under your control.
Our Philosophy: No "Black Boxes"
Many proprietary systems operate as "black boxes", closed environments where you cannot assess security or inspect the underlying logic. Blentech takes a different approach. Our systems are built on a standardized Ignition platform that ensures consistency, reliability, and maintainability across all deployments. We can provide your team with audit-level access so you can review and verify the underlying configuration and code.
Strengthening National Food Security & Resilience
We support food and agriculture customers with a cybersecurity program built for critical infrastructure environments, including access control, monitoring, resilience, and incident response. We continuously improve our controls, train our staff, and test our recovery plans so we can help protect operations, data, and supply-chain continuity.
Built on Global Industry Standards
Blentech controls are architected to align with international frameworks, ensuring seamless interoperability and the highest levels of digital safety:
- ANSI/ISA-88 (Batch Control): We separate product definitions from equipment logic. This modular structure allows for flexible, repeatable batch processing that protects your unique process IP.
- ANSI/ISA-95 (Enterprise Integration): Designed for secure, bi-directional data exchange between the plant floor and your ERP/MES systems (SAP, NetSuite, etc.).
- ISA-101 (HMI Design): Our interfaces focus on situational awareness, reducing cognitive load for operators and ensuring faster, safer reactions to process deviations.
- ISA/IEC 62443 (Cybersecurity): We leverage industry-standard security models to align with modern industrial cybersecurity frameworks, keeping your network hardened against external threats.
The Best of Both Worlds: Hybrid Deployment
We offer a Hybrid Environment that gives you the flexibility of the cloud with the ironclad security of local control.
- Keep IP Local:Â Your sensitive control logic stays on-premise, behind your firewall.
- Cloud Insight: Recipes and data required for performance analytics are sent to ARTIS, where it is protected by MFA-enabled access and secure MQTT transport.
- Air-Gapped Readiness: For high-security facilities, our systems support full "Offline Mode," allowing you to operate entirely air-gapped from the internet.
True Data Ownership
Your data belongs to you. Period. Unlike competitors who lock your history in proprietary databases, Blentech uses standard SQLÂ structures.
- Open Access: You have full access to your AutoChef history without paying "unlock" fees or service charges.
- Standard Formats: Historical data is stored in SQL tables using the Ignition platform structure and can be exported as CSV files through ARTIS for integration with your QA and reporting systems.
The Blentech Proof of Performance
We don’t just engineer secure platforms; we validate them every day using the same technologies we provide to our customers.
- The Innovation Center: In the Blentech Innovation Center (BIC), we utilize AutoChef and ARTIS to power and monitor our own industrial equipment. This serves as our daily proving ground for software reliability and data integrity.
- Hands-on Validation: We invite you to visit the BIC to experience our software first-hand. You can test your own recipes on our production-scale machines while observing our data security and process control architecture in action.
- Enterprise-Grade Infrastructure: Beyond the production floor, we manage our internal engineering data and intellectual property using the same secure, cloud-based standards (such as Propel and Salesforce) required by our global enterprise clients.
