Measuring equipment redirection

Today's measuring instruments in dimensional metrology comprise hardware and software components. They acquire and transfer data to a central server, connecting to a single computer for further processing. Various measuring equipment, like height gauges and surface analysis instruments, need to support dedicated data transfer technology. When you need all your measuring equipment to be accessible from the cloud you need a passthrough technology. Serial to Ethernet Connector can be easily integrated into your solution providing you with a simple remote access feature.

The problem of remote access to engineering measuring instruments

As quality control becomes more and more important in the industrial world, manufacturers of gauge equipment try to improve the functionality of their products with the advanced remote access feature. As we have already mentioned, such capability can be provided by a dedicated technology able to virtualize engineering measuring tools and redirect them over the Internet.

The development of such technology requires significant resources and time. In addition, you need to have a strong enough software team with the necessary skills. However, if your budget is limited or you cannot hold your software developers accountable for such a project, it would be wise to opt for a canned solution.

Measurement equipment redirection with Serial to Ethernet Connector

Electronic Team, Inc. offers a network solution that has already proven to be efficient for redirecting measuring equipment across the Internet. Serial to Ethernet Connector helps connect any remote device to a single data center regardless of its physical location. Thanks to the technology, the central computer recognizes remote equipment as though it were physically attached to the machine. The solution allows the creation an unlimited number of virtual serial interfaces in any system. That means a specialist will be able to receive data from all measuring devices at a time.

Serial to Ethernet Connector is a unique solution that can be easily integrated into any specialized equipment or application. More than that, the technology can be customized according to specific requirements of already-existing measuring software.

The key benefits of integrating Serial to Ethernet Connector into measuring equipment for engineers:

Serial to Ethernet Connector will let you greatly expand the functionality of your data acquisition system. The technology makes it possible to forward serial data over any distance, split a stream of data into several flows, join separate streams from different remote devices into one data flow, etc.

By providing a product with unique functionality, you can garner a competitive advantage relative to other manufacturers of measuring systems, attract new customers, and significantly increase your market share.

The technology can be customized so that it is ideally suited for any specific measuring operations. Serial to Ethernet Connector SDK supports all major operating systems and can be built into any specialized measurement hardware or software.

Our satisfied clients

“The company’s measuring instruments communicate with a computer via serial ports. Some remote clients of the company needed to connect to the serial equipment from their programs. The computers of the remote clients didn’t have serial interfaces, so it was impossible to access the measuring instruments directly from their apps. Serial to Ethernet Connector SDK allowed the creation of virtual serial interfaces on the clients’ machines. Now remote clients can easily access the company’s measuring instruments right from their own software. ”
