Proven technology enhances enterprise intelligence through real-time device connectivity BOCA RATON, Fla. – February 14, 2007 – ILS Technology launched its deviceWISE™ 2.0 connectivity platform. The platform enables seamless communication between intelligent devices and the enterprise, providing businesses with a detailed view of the production environment and the ability to monitor and respond to operational issues in real-time.ILS Technology developed a modular framework for deviceWISE 2.0 to facilitate integration with existing vendor equipment and improve communications between intelligent devices and information technology (IT) application environments. The deviceWISE 2.0 framework links programmable logic controllers, RFID readers, printers and other intelligent devices in a network to support bidirectional data flow with enterprise and peer systems based upon WebSphere, Oracle, BEA, JBoss, SAP, DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase and other popular database, messaging system, and application server platforms.As the need for more efficient data connectivity increases, intelligent edge devices have become more prevalent. deviceWISE can be embedded directly into these intelligent devices to further increase the simplicity of data connectivity. By significantly increasing efficiency, deviceWISE enables companies to analyze the data that is transported to enterprise applications and maximize the value, processing power, functionality and usability of their intelligent devices. “The industry has been challenged to successfully link intelligent devices from different manufacturers together on a network and to transport critical data to enterprise applications efficiently,” said John Keever, executive vice president and CTO for ILS Technology. “Our deviceWISE platform addresses this challenge with an expandable, vendor-neutral architecture that enables the seamless connection between production and front office operations. With deviceWISE 2.0, companies can have intelligent, real-time access to data, make smarter decisions faster, and take full advantage of emerging technologies.”The deviceWISE 2.0 platform minimizes dependency on intermediate PC technology thereby greatly decreasing installation and maintenance costs, enhancing security and reducing long system-integration cycles. Compatible with virtually any database, message queuing and application server system available, deviceWISE 2.0 breaks through complicated layers of data transfer to allow secure, real-time connectivity that maximizes the full capabilities of next-generation intelligent edge devices.The modularity of the framework is designed to easily scale within the parameters of any OEM hardware, whether it is a small footprint embedded device or a full-scale server system. The modular framework allows standard connection interfaces to be bundled with the deviceWISE 2.0 binary, or they can be ordered separately for maximum flexibility and scalability. ILS Technology’s integration services team can tailor the deviceWISE 2.0 framework for a customer’s specific application and IT infrastructure. The deviceWISE 2.0 platform and ILS Technology integration services are available today.
