Current developments include an Ethenet manufacturing control and data collection device (DCU). This unit can display data from and send results to a central database, as well as being controlled from a Browser anywhere on the corporate network. This product, initially aimed at the print house environment, is flexible enough to allow it to be configured for any similar shop floor environment.
We are also developing the software for a low cost Symetric DSL Multiplexor that will allow companies to use the emerging Broadband technology and take advantage of exisiting Modem, point to point copper. Depending on range, up to 4Mbps of throughput can be achieved over existing wiring. The unit, being developed in conjunction with E2E4 Ltd and CASE tce Ltd, will allow voice, synchronous and Ethernet traffic to share the new high speed link.
