The Advanced MES Connected Factory Machine Interface Unit (CF-MIU) is an industrial-strength data collection device conceived, developed, and manufactured by Epicor, and designed along the lines of a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system. The term SCADA generally refers to a system that monitors machines, groups of machines, or large cells of manufacturing equipment. It ensures precision, efficiency, and compliance on the factory floor and is especially useful if your equipment is older and doesn’t have modern PLC capabilities or if your facility experiences frequent network interruptions.
Maintain uninterrupted data collection and process control during network outages with advanced caching and real-time data processing. Minimize downtime, improve efficiency, and safeguard critical manufacturing data.
Connect to non-OPC PLCs and a wide range of factory equipment. The CF-MIU adapts to diverse manufacturing environments, enabling streamlined operations and broader data access.
Monitor production in real-time and ensure every part meets engineering specifications. Leverage SCADA-based control for immediate adjustments, improving quality and reducing waste.
To maximize the functionality and efficiency of Advanced MES, it integrates with these products out of the box.
It also has tools that allow integration to other top-level ERP solutions.
