ADLINK's DEX-100 intelligent data extraction system with built-in frame grabber utilizes optical character recognition (OCR) to collect and process legacy PC-based display content, converging traditionally fragmented data extraction methods into a unified solution for all types of PC-based machines.
An easy-to-configure utility maps acquired real-time video content with no additional programming required, and provides a user-configured interface consolidating machine content of interest into a single predefined page. Unique offline script editing enables system setup offline from the target device, for little-to-no interference with operations.
Singularly effective interface extends M2M function with addition of devices such as barcode scanners and sensors, and simultaneous sharing of all collected data for distribution to anywhere in the network, via DDS (Data Distribution Services) protocol in real-time, enhancing reliability and efficiency. Remote control of pre-categorized IO-status, alarm, and data writing enable both horizontal and vertical OT/IT convergence.
Scalable for Universal Connectability
One solution for all machine types, eliminating fragmented field bus and API, unstructured log files, and OS conflicts Unified legacy equipment protocols into standard interface via VGA/DVI output Quick deployment and minimal learning curve Non-intrusive for Minimal Downtime
Display content is output from the machine without affecting machine performance or stability No additional program installation required Quick Offline/Remote program debugging doesn't interfere with machine operation Quick integration minimizes downtime Ease of Use
Simple, fast system configuration, with no programming required Customizable user-end tools maximize operational efficiency Built-in OT/IT protocol and M2M bridging Real-time Data Sharing
DDS enables real-time reliable, secure, and efficient data sharing Data transmitted to and from top floor applications and cloud maximize administrative advantage Cost-effective Evolution to Smart Factory
Existing machines are retained with enhanced IoT capability Legacy environments can reach Industry 4.0 functionality
