xCoupler SMTP Adapter

xCoupler Enterprise Transaction Modules for Factory Floor Network Communications

Side-by-side comparison of a typical plant floor multi-tier system versus the xCoupler two-tier system

xCoupler modules with SMTP adapters are specifically designed to enable two-tier sharing of manufacturing and process data from proprietary devices to a variety of devices via SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to eliminate cumbersome patchwork systems. They are less costly to install and configure, are virtually maintenance-free, scalable to accommodate expansion, provide timely and accurate data, and are extremely secure.

Optimizes SMTP Capabilities

Electronic mail systems are critical for communications in nearly all companies throughout the world. Receiving immediate information about operational changes or events can translate to significant savings. These operational changes and events could include:

  • Alerts for equipment failure
  • Alerts for a process running out of specification
  • Alerts for low inventory
  • Alerts for quality problems
Periodic production reports sending this data directly to key decision makers provides the information to quickly react to operational events as they occur. The xCoupler SMTP adapter's architecture has been specifically developed using a native interface to operate in this environment and extend the capabilities of SMTP communications electronic mail systems from the production floor to the enterprise, eliminating the need for gateway or bridging systems.
