OPC DataHub Attracts New Distributor in Brazil

Georgetown, Ontario (August 10, 2009) Cogent Real-Time Systems announces an agreement with Exata Sistemas de Automação Ltda in São Paulo, Brazil, to provide sales and support for the OPC DataHub. Active in automation and control for over 25 years, Exata Sistemas sees the OPC DataHub fitting in well with their existing product line.

"We are getting more and more requests for real-time data integration" said Murilo Bevilaqua, Director of Exata. "The OPC DataHub provides the best technology we have seen for connecting OPC servers, networking OPC, and making the data available to the engineers and managers who need it."

"We are looking forward to working with Exata," said Andrew Thomas. "There is substantial demand for high-quality data communication software in Brazil, and we are confident that Exata will find many opportunities to apply the OPC DataHub to meet this growing need."

The OPC DataHub gives quick, reliable, and secure access to valuable information direct from the factory floor. It is an integrated tool that can present live process data directly on an engineer's or manager's desk in a form most suitable: database, spreadsheet, or web page. It provides OPC tunnelling, bridging, and aggregation, and has a free API to support virtually any type of OPC connectivity required.
