Customers who have fully utilised the IEC series have implemented advanced functionalities in there own system:
- Ability to generate early warnings as devices approach operation thresholds preventing costly repairs when greater damage occurs.
- Devices can also automatically receive code updates without costly service calls.
- Real-time collection of statistics for inventory, performance metrics, monitoring or even direct the actions based on information collected at an aggregated level.
- It allows you to add connectivity across multiple product lines and applications.
- Offers several ways to be connected: phone lines, ethernet, power lines and wireless connections.
- Enables devices to be maintenance free, independent - "smart"
