May 23, 2006 - According to Scott Birmingham, Manager of Product Marketing for Plantnode, key data collection advantage must include these abilities:
• View data with any standard web browser - no server software required.
• Put intelligence on the plant floor. The device monitors, conditions and stores data.
• Turn raw data into information, as the device supports logic and math libraries.
• Eliminate costly network upgrades by streaming only the data you need to the enterprise.
• Easy to implement and use. Minimal IT, engineering and training support required.
The ability to extend the corporate network down to the plant floor by cost-effectively providing Ethernet connectivity to any machine is essential to quantifying real time manufacturing results. The capacity to save thousands of dollars compared to other data acquisition and management systems is a product assertion of Plantnode, the cornerstone product of Shoplogix.
