— —
machine connectivit y
For older machines that don’t possess
modern controls and protocols, we
connect through digital and analog
I/O using a simple labjack device and
sensors
With a simple scripting language
that’s configurable in the web or
mobile application, sophisticated
logic can be used to integrate even
the most challenging equipment.
Consult with our documentation or
integration specialists to connect
to older equipment yourself, or our
field integrators can come on-site for
installation.
