Indonesian Automation Specialists to Offer the OPC DataHub

Georgetown, Ontario (December 3, 2008) Cogent Real-Time Systems announces an agreement with AIC Consulting in Tangerang, Indonesia, to sell the OPC DataHub in the Indonesian market. AIC will use the OPC DataHub for real-time data integration projects in production facilities and across the enterprise.

"The OPC DataHub technology upholds our three pillars of competency," said Tonny Leonard, of AIC Consulting. "It enhances industrial automation systems, it provides links to enterprise IT, and it thus fits in well with our consulting services."

"AIC Consulting takes a broad-minded approach to plant automation," said Andrew Thomas, President of Cogent. "In addition to ensuring the highest level of interoperability on the plant floor, they bridge the information gap to the enterprise resources planning (ERP) level of a company. This is an ideal application space for the OPC DataHub."

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.
