Building Automation/Security
Automating, managing, and controlling many different aspects of a building is possible
with the IntelliBox. It can overcome the hurdle of stand-alone networks or individual
control systems that are not able to communicate with each other, and not able to share
vital data, in a cost effective way.
The IntelliBox can automatically manage equipment and devices centrally over a new or
existing Ethernet network to improve the safety and comfort of building occupants, while
lowering heating, ventilating, air conditioning (HVAC), lighting, and overall energy
operating costs through centralized management and monitoring.
Industrial Automation
Today’s manufacturing facilities face the common challenges of productivity
improvements, inventory management, and quality control. From warehouse to
automotive environments, the need to attach and manage the following devices, whether
new or legacy continues to grow:
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), Computer Numeric Control and Direct
Numeric Control (CNC/DNC) equipment, process and quality-control equipment
Pump controllers
Bar-code readers and scanners, operator displays, scales, and weighing stations
Printers, machine-vision systems, and other types of manufacturing equipment
The IntelliBox is well suited to deliver network connectivity and management to all of
these devices.
Medical/Healthcare
Hospitals, clinics, and laboratories face a rapidly growing need to deliver medical
information accurately, quickly, and easily, whether at bedside, the nurse’s station, or
anywhere in the facility. The goal to improve healthcare services, however, is balanced
with the need to keep the bottom line from exceeding already constrained budgets.
The IntelliBox can network enable medical equipment and devices using the hospital’s
existing Ethernet network to improve patient care and slash operating costs. This enables
medical staff members to easily monitor and control equipment over the network, whether
it is located at the point of care, in a laboratory, or somewhere else in the building, all
resulting in improved quality of service and reduced operational costs.
Retail Automation/Point-of-Sale
Having the right solution in the store to manage deliveries, track orders, and keep pricing
current are all improvements that the IntelliBox can offer to make retail operations more
successful. From big to small, one store to thousands of outlets, the IntelliBox can
empower point-of-sale (POS) devices to share information across the network effectively.
With the IntelliBox, retailers can increase and streamline productivity quickly and easily
by network-enabling serial devices like card swipe readers, bar-code scanners, scales,
cash registers, and receipt printers.
