Press Release Summary = Plantnode Provides Real Time Factory Floor Information

Press Release Body = It is essential that the technology can connect to any plant
floor equipment that has serial, digital, or analog outputs.
This factory floor information can only be effectively achieved with web-based
reporting. This functionality allows manufacturers these benefits:
. Obtain real-time immediate access to plant floor information.
. Each device is given an IP address to enable direct access from any PC using a web
browser.
. View real-time or historical data for each device by selecting specific data/time
ranges or production shifts.
All data can be exported to an Excel spreadsheet for further analysis.

The only way to gain real time factory floor information is to ensure a technology
that includes these functions:
. Connect to any plant floor equipment
. Web-based reporting
. Email notifications & alarming
. Integrate with enterprise systems
. Remotely manage hundreds of machines
. Automate data entry
