New opportunities for embedded data
Cogent offers a zero unit production cost solution that allows you to save money in development and expand your market reach by offering new features that are significantly better than your competition. We offer the a free, easy to implement communications component that the embedded systems developer can deploy with their devices. The end customer buys our middleware platform which makes a direct connection to the embedded device over a network or Internet connection.
Integrate embedded systems with factory and business systems
Imagine your embedded systems being the source of data for a larger control strategy in factories, or as the starting point for making business decisions based on real-time data. Read and write data to any ODBC compliant database system, effectively bridging the gap between an isolated embedded system and the world of business management systems. Analyze your real-time data in Excel and produce sophisticated analytics that recalculate each time new data is received from the field.
Visualize your data on the web
Offer your customers the opportunity to develop leading edge web displays that present live streaming data from their embedded devices. Utilize Microsoft's latest Silverlight technology to build web pages right inside the browser, from any location, connected over the Internet. Have the live web pages visible from anywhere, using a wide range of browser platforms.
Work with industry standards and hardware
Leverage the power of the OPC interface standards to connect your embedded device to any PLC or DCS from any of the leading vendors. Mix and match the protocols your device can talk to, allowing it to access data from many different systems using different protocols at the same time.
Access your data from anywhere in the world
Take advantage of industry leading network tunnelling and mirroring to gather data from web connected embedded devices and aggregate the data into a single common data set. Eliminate the need for manual data reporting, but gathering data directly from your devices, streaming it back to your corporate offices and then analyzing it inside Excel or other business management systems.
