Valor Internet of Things (IoT) Manufacturing hardware device has embedded software for live data collection from all shop-floor machines and processes, leveraging the new Open Manufacturing Language (OML) communication standard. Enables seamless implementation of advanced practices such as Industry 4.0 and Smart Factory, with plug-and-play deployment and minimal change to the manufacturing environment and work processes. Utilizes built-in interfaces to acquire and normalize data from entire manufacturing flow, including surface mount technology (SMT), screen printers, reflow ovens, inspection and test machines, as well as manual operations such as system assembly, test and repair. Provides a simple, standard way of controlling machines and manufacturing flows through the use of OML. Accelerates deployment of shop-floor IT projects by connecting with any MES, ERP, supply chain, PLM and other enterprise applications. Is highly scalability and allows parallel real-time flow of huge data volumes, eliminating potential networking and connectivity issues. Rugged construction for high data integrity and security, including power back-up and fail-safe data management.
