MovTracer© is a very powerful and simple data acquisition and collection on industrial database tool. MovTracer means having a simple data acquisition engine, capable of communicating with all factory levels, collecting realtime production information and aggregating it on DB for managerial analysis. Basically, MovTracer is that ‘missing link’ between factory floor levels (PLC, SCADA, HMI, Fieldbus) and IT managerial levels (Information system, ERP).

Connectivity at all levels

The Real-Time database offers integrated I/O Drivers, DB connectors and ‘par excellance’ networking for enterprise-wide communication.

Fast and safe communication is essential for enabling the MES system to get all the necessary data instantly whenever and from wherever needed. MovTracer© represents a process data gathering point, the crossroads of enterprise-wide production system information flow on all levels.
MovTracer© integrates a rich library of I/O Drivers, native, integrated and included free-of-charge in the product, to render communications with various control systems much quicker to configure and perform.
The OPC technology is completely integrated both as Client and as Server, covering both the DA (COM) and XML DA specifications.
The integrated Networking consents transparent data exchanging, native between other MovTracer© stations connected in Ethernet networks, or with other stations and WinCE HMI panels using Movicon™ Scada/HMI.
MovTracer© also offers special DB connectors which can be activated in read and write in any variable, to allow data exchanging between the real-time database and any other business enterprise application or system using simple shared tables.
This system is also predisposed with the option to customize data exchanging with third party applications, made possible by the data access driver to shared memories (Shared Memory I/O).
The Real-Time database therefore permits you to connect to any existing shop floor level control device (back office) to collect and disclose information to higher enterprise-wide levels (front office) in realtime.

Process data archivable in any relational database, or in encrypted format.

All process data collected by MovTracer© is recorded and stored for analysing using freely-configurable and purposely-designed Data Logger objects.
This information collection guarantees production managers with all process related information with the possibility to analyse data in order to improve productivity, by tracking down and isolating anomalous behaviour.

The MovTracer© configurator enables you to aggregate data with simplicity and define archive recording and management modalities.
This important task is performed to guarantee concepts based on simplicity, reliability and openness.
MovTracer© offers recording engines based on a ODBC Manager model which ensures maximum performances in data precision as well as maximum openness in choosing preferred database formats.
MovTracer© supports all relational DBs via ODBC or in simple formatted and encryptable text files to obtain the visualization of recorded information exclusively through the MovTracer© access control modalities being totally compliant to CFR21 Part11 requirements.
In addition to the Data Loggers, users can freely configure event records with associable text (i.e. Alarms or Messages) or record on Audit Trail events.

Thanks to the powerful ODBC Manager, databases can now be in whatever format desired (i.e. SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL), guaranteeing maximum openness and adaptation to already existing company systems, reducing costs with fast return on investments.
