Real-Time Data Collection for Smarter Manufacturing

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.
