Centralization is good — at least in terms of manageability.

But your operations are fast-moving and distributed. You need a solution that can sense product and asset movement in a hundred separate locations in a hundred different situations. You need a system that fits in smoothly with your processes and makes workers more productive. You may even have different back end systems to tie into in each location.

That’s where Blue Vector comes in. It’s a centrally managed, highly distributed system that gives you the ultimate in flexibility and rapid deployment. It’s built from a line of plug-and-play network appliances that snap together and can scale to any size deployment.

Operations will love it because it is compatible with all industrial sensors and controllers. That includes any type of RFID reader as well as any other type of sensor that is needed for a particular process. It can include simple pushbuttons and displays for worker interaction.

IT will love it because it is compatible with both commercial and homegrown back end systems. Blue Vector does the work of managing sensors and processing their data into business events that back end systems understand. This protects your current investment in business systems, and prevents the creation of yet another application to manage.
