IoT Solutions | The Zontec Synergy SPC Software Product Suite offers manufacturers of all sizes an array of real-time statistical process control SPC software products to fit your unique needs. Regardless of your global, domestic or local size, business scope or regulatory requirements, SynergySPC helps you reduce scrap, cut rework, and enhance productivity to improve quality. SynergySPC gathers, stores, organizes and controls data that is quickly converted into graphs, control charts, and reports used in corrective actions, audits, regulatory compliance and communications to reduce process variation.
Automated Quality Data Collection
Zontec easy-to-use integration tools help you gain instant visibility to your real-time quality data in semi-automated and automated production settings. Combining SynergySPC software with one of these integration tools allows you to seamlessly share data between many platforms. Companies can get a complete picture of quality in their manufacturing processes using these tools.
Connect Devices and Gage for Direct Quality Input
Direct connection between any SynergySPC software and gages, scales, and other direct input measurement devices used in manufacturing is quick and easy. This feature is included in Synergy 1000, Synergy 2000, and Synergy 3000. To get started, simply connect a device through an RS-232 or USB port. It takes just a few clicks in your SynergySPC software and you are ready to send real-time data from your connected devices. This semi-automatic shop floor data collection reduces errors, saves time, and connects you to real-time SynergySPC software. | Andoit Technologies believes that in the year 2020, the world will be more connected, wireless networks will connect more machines than people and M2M technology will help us to be more energy and cost efficient, safer and more secure. This is the era of connected intelligence. With over 25 years’ experience in delivering scalable SCADA solutions into industries such as water and waste water, utilities, oil and gas, mining, telecommunications and a host of other industries, Adroit Technologies was placed to leverage its SCADA solution and build the Adroit M2M platform. Adroit’s Agent/Object architecture within the I/O Server offers a lot more built-in functionality such as scripting, transacting data into databases etc. saving users massive development time. | A huge part of the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications can significantly benefit from context awareness, in particular location awareness. This information might pertain to the location of the user, to the location of devices/appliances or both of them and hence enable a lot of powerful applications, for example, in hospitals to track equipment, doctors, and patients or in industrial environments to track and trace persons and assets. However, IoT research rather focuses on architectures, which includes components for context awareness, but pays less attention to how and with which accuracy context is achieved.
Many algorithms and approaches have been proposed for indoor RF-based localization; however, low cost and accurate indoor localization is still very challenging. Many research and commercial solutions claim very high accuracies, which can, however, only be achieved in a very specific setting under ideal conditions. Adbanticsys Research Department is working on the development of cost-effective indoor localization solutions in real-life environments such as warehouses or underground mining sites. | The Internet of Things (IoT) brings countless disruptive opportunities to the Enterprise. Any company can exploit IoT capabilities to optimize the use of resources, business processes, product quality. Moreover, Enterprises can then create innovative business models and competitive ‘pay per use’ or hybrid models for their industrial products, and additional services developed using ‘things information’. By creating its own Internet of Things Enterprises can get full and continuous information from devices, machines and systems, enable control and interactions, and use these features in new or existing business applications. This is why in Alleantia they talk about the Internet Of Own Things (IOOT), that every company must implement for supporting its specific business. | Through expert design, unparalleled systems expertise and proprietary intellectual property (IP), Adesto enables our customers to differentiate their systems where it matters most for IoT: better efficiency, greater reliability and security, integrated intelligence and lower cost. | With the increasing and explosive growth of interconnected devices, Device Management is no longer a requirement exclusive to Telecom Equipment Manufacturers. Devices from the core of the network all the way down to Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), IoT sensors, and everything in between inclusive of Routers, Switches, and Gateways, etc. must be manageable.
Though their deep relationships with important third parties, Enea is working to ensure that organizations creating network infrastructure equipment have pre-integrated support for solutions that save time, development cost, and accelerate time to market. | Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) focus on transforming bits of data collected at the edge of a pervasive distributed system into actionable information and knowledge for business decision makers and end users. These transformations are driving the biggest change in industry since the steam engine! One of the most important aspects of IoT vision is that smart objects communicate effectively with each other and with applications residing in data centers or the cloud. Eurotech develops and offers the technical building blocks required to build distributed systems of devices and sensors to be effectively interconnected with IT infrastructures. Eurotech solutions are a combination of hardware, Firmware, operating systems, programming frameworks and external infrastructure that enable customers focus on their core activities. | RTI is committed to open standards, open community source and open architecture. RTI provides the leading implementation of the Object Management Group Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard. For high-performance integrated systems, DDS is the ideal communications protocol. DDS is the technology that delivers the flexibility, reliability and speed necessary to build complex real-time applications. RTI Connext DDS has already delivered proven infrastructures for mission-critical military systems, advanced medical systems, wind turbine farms, air traffic control, robotics and factory automation. | Arkessa enables Internet of Things (IoT) devices to connect with each other regardless of geography, network operator or wireless technology.
