March 18, 2014 - Datapaq releases Insight Software version 7.3, which supports the real-time export of data via OPC (“Open Platform Communications”). OPC is an industrial automation standard that allows communication between a data source (the OPC server) and a software application (the OPC client).
The data may include process data and records of alarms and events. With Insight acting as an OPC server, data can be passed directly from the logger to a user's own preferred OPC-client process-management application, thereby assisting with live process control and enhancing productivity. The software update furthermore introduces user-friendly tools to the industry-specific Food Insight and Oven Insight versions that support process optimization, helping users set up heating and cooling processes and adapt parameters without repeated trial runs.
