Features:

Easy To Implement
The DTU allows you to use a point-and-click Management Console interface to configure a connection to each device. You can then define what data to move and how it should be managed. This connectivity provides transfer of information on all levels, from "the top floor to the shop floor".

Internally Supportable
Is your best developer on vacation? Are you having trouble find the integrator who wrote your custom code? The I/Gear DTU provides a stable platform to configure your device connections and develop your business logic.

Externally Supportable
If you need help developing a solution to your integration needs, I/Gear's staff and support engineers have years of experience in manufacuring technology. From database design to machine configuration to business logic development, we can help you implement your solution.

Reliable
The DTU software was designed from the ground up for dependability. It utilizes various queuing mechanisms and process pooling to ensure reliable data movement in the most critical of processes.

Easily Expandable
The DTU allows you to connect to a variety of technologies through DataLinks, protocol specific connectors designed solely to move data between the device and the I/Gear Engine, the core process of the DTU.

Standard DataLinks come with I/Gear, but many more are available for download and on request. For a complete list and description of the various DataLinks available please click here: [»]

Robust
The simplicity of the DTU makes it more cost effective to deploy, maintain, and expand than custom code. Hardware and configuration changes can be made with minimal impact on other parts of the data transport infrastructure, even while running.

Scalable
The DTU can be used to run the smallest point-to-point solution as well as a large enterprise infrastructure. There is no limit to the number of allowed connections or amount of data collected.

Proven
The I/Gear DTU is used in hundreds of manufacturing facilities to manage all or part of their integration infrastructure. For a list of just some of I/Gear's satisfied customers, please click here: [»]
