Perle integrates the enterprise
 From
the shop floor to the distribution centre, industry is ever
more dependent on sharing information quickly. It's the key
to increasing productivity, improving quality, controlling
inventory, and cutting operating costs.
It's all a question of integration. By ensuring
a smooth information flow from the shop floor to the boardroom,
industry can maximise business opportunities. It often begins
with the need to interface production equipment - including
sophisticated monitoring devices - to the corporate network.
Network enabling such industrial equipment has
enormous advantages. From barcode scanners to programmable
logic controllers (PLCs), there are many devices that require
serial connections. Industrial serial to Ethernet conversion
allows users to monitor or control equipment from across the
corporate network.
Perle technology links industrial automation
and monitoring directly into your Ethernet network. Perle
device networking readily supports external or embedded solutions,
helping add a new level of understanding to your business.
And by instantly providing the right information to the desktop,
it will help you gain competitive advantage.
