Takebishi Partners with Cogent to Sell OPC DataHub
Takebishi Corporation Forms Sales and Technical
Partnerships with Cogent Real-Time Systems for the OPC DataHub
in Japan
Georgetown, Ontario (February 6, 2007) Cogent Real-Time Systems announces that
Takebishi Corporation will provide sales and technical support
for Cogent's OPC DataHub and related software for the Japanese
market. Takebishi was the first to introduce an OPC server in
Japan, and views the OPC DataHub as an excellent complement to
their DeviceXPlorer OPC Server Series.
"We are looking forward to the synergy effect that the OPC
DataHub will have with our products," said Ryuji Takeuchi of
Takebishi. "The OPC DataHub will help users get the most out
of DeviceXPlorer."
The OPC DataHub combines the functionality of many OPC
tools in one product. It can connect an OPC server to Excel, to
an ODBC database, or to a web browser to display live data. It
can bypass DCOM by tunnelling OPC data across a network, or
aggregate data from many OPC servers into a single data stream.
It can bridge various OPC servers, analyzing or transforming the
live data in real time using its built-in scripting
language.
"With the OPC DataHub, users of Takebishi's DeviceXPlorer
can now do a whole lot more," said Andrew Thomas, President of
Cogent. "Once again, Takebishi has taken the lead in
recognizing the value of new technology. It is a pleasure to
work with them and collaborate on data connectivity
solutions."
Takebishi is an engineering trading company specializing
in data communication for industrial electric and electronic
equipment and devices. They joined OPC Foundation Japan in
1995 and since that time have been very active in developing
OPC servers and spreading OPC technology. Takebishi has
offices throughout Japan, with a focus on the Kyoto and Shiga
areas.
Founded in 1995, Cogent Real-Time Systems is
the leader in real-time cross-platform data integration between
Windows, Linux and QNX. Customers include the Bank of Canada, Cadbury
Chocolate and the European Space Agency. Cogent leverages its
experience in real-time data communications to provide the next
generation of OPC products.
