Container management for environments that never sleep.
Air-gap capable. Offline-first. No Kubernetes knowledge required. Portainer manages containerized applications across factory floors, energy grids, and remote edge sites: safely and reliably.
Trusted infrastructure for industry leading enterprises
Three segments. One control plane.
Industrial IoT
Factories, energy, logistics, aerospace, and wastewater. OT teams with no Kubernetes experience managing ISV-supplied containerized industrial software at scale.
Enterprise IoT
Retail chains, telecom edge, smart cities, connected vehicles. Centralized fleet management at scale across thousands of geographically distributed nodes.
Remote & Disconnected
Ships, oil fields, mining sites, remote infrastructure. Async edge agents that operate safely offline and sync when connectivity is restored.
The right agent for every network constraint.
Portainer provides three agent types to support different network and operational constraints. Each connects to the same central control plane.
Trusted Networks
Bi-directional, in-band communication for secure internal data centers. Lowest latency. Direct runtime access.
Untrusted Networks
Outbound-only communication. No inbound firewall rules required. Optional mTLS for device identity. Reduced attack surface.
Disconnected & OT
Pull-based command execution. Offline-safe. Resilient under high latency. Queues updates until connectivity is restored.
Governing the edge is one side of the story. How your OT teams use it is the other.
Your IT team controls deployments, policies, and fleet governance through Portainer's operator control plane. But the people on the plant floor, at remote sites, and in the field don't need to see any of that. They need a purpose-built experience for their job.
Industrial App Portal: built for the people on the floor
The Industrial App Portal is a purpose-built interface for OT operators, technicians, and automation engineers who don't need to know Kubernetes exists. Infrastructure is abstracted entirely. They interact only with concepts that match their operational world.
All actions taken through the Industrial App Portal are governed by the policies and access controls set by your IT team in the Portainer operator control plane. OT operators can only do what they're permitted to do.
