VIA’s Data Communications Server (DCS) does just that. Torque guns, barcode scanners, PLCs, file systems, light curtains, pick and stack lights, RFID and more communicates in its own specific data format and interface.

The result is a Device Integration solution that seamlessly communicates with all plant floor equipment to help provide timely and accurate information. By providing this information across an entire enterprise, VIA’s Device Integration will produce valuable business intelligence information, enhance disaster recovery and support real-time business event detection.

Since VIA’s Device Integration is independent with common providers, it can communicate with virtually any type of equipment located on the plant floor from data collections terminals, PCs, HMIs, PLCs and barcode scanners to torque guns, marquees, light curtains, stack lights, sensors, RFID and web services.
