Industrial App Portal

Bring order, clarity, and control to your OT operations.

The OT-facing side of Portainer. A workspace for operators, technicians, and automation engineers to deploy and run containerized applications across sites, lines, and devices without touching the infrastructure beneath.

Why a separate portal

Two audiences, one platform. Two interfaces.

Your IT team needs a control plane. Governance, policies, fleet-wide visibility, deep infrastructure access. Your OT team needs none of that. They need to deploy a known-good application to a known device, see if it's running, and get back to the work in front of them.

Forcing operators into IT tooling is how good rollouts stall. Wrong language. Wrong abstractions. Wrong defaults. The Industrial App Portal exists so the people on the floor get an interface built for the work they actually do, while the people governing the fleet keep the controls they need.

Capabilities

Built for the floor. Connected to the fleet.

Unified command

Distributed OT, one workspace

One portal across every plant, every business unit, every Portainer Server.

ISA-95 native

Built around OT constructs

Hierarchies, device groups, and language your teams already use.

Hardened access

RBAC at every level

Permissions inherited from the Portainer operator control plane.

Curated catalog

Controlled, repeatable deployments

Pre-approved apps. Target hierarchies or individual devices. Per-device variable exceptions when sites need them.

Operator dashboard

Real-time operational visibility

Service health, connectivity, resource usage. Drill in to diagnose or restart without leaving the portal.

How it fits

One platform. Two interfaces. One story.

Portainer gives your IT team an operator control plane for Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes across the entire industrial fleet.

The Industrial App Portal is the OT-facing layer on top of that platform. Same governance. Same identity. Same RBAC. A different interface, built for a different job.

Who it's for

Three roles. One way in.

Controls & automation

Engineers on the front lines. Factory floor, fleet, remote sites.

Enterprise IT & DevOps

Teams supporting industrial edge operations.

System integrators

Deploying standardized solutions where uptime matters most.

Give your OT teams a workspace built for the floor.

See how the Industrial App Portal extends the Portainer deployment you already run, and gives every site, role, and device its own way in.
