SyncConnect is an embedded software ideal for edge gateway vendors and system integrators to embed into their product/solution offerings. It simplifies and accelerates the collection, aggregation and protocol conversion of field device data from many vendors. Field devices use a wide variety of standards-based and proprietary communication protocols that increase the time and complexity for product vendors to develop technology to convert data. Once the data has been collected, it should ideally be aggregated and analyzed in ways that facilitate decision making, and ultimately increase the reliability and efficiency of the assets.
