Why Automation is Only as Smart as Your Data
January 22, 2026
Unlock the hidden value in every signal on your factory floor with the DX100 Data Flow Edge Device
The DX100 Data Flow Edge Device transforms raw machine signals into contextual insights with minimal setup and minimal coding expertise required. By seamlessly integrating with existing equipment and delivering real-time visualizations, it empowers teams to stop guessing and start knowing.
The Data Dilemma in Modern Factories
Many manufacturers invest in automation only to find their machines speak a language they can’t interpret. Sensors record vibration, temperature, pressure, and event data, but without a reliable way to capture and contextualize those signals, teams end up chasing ghosts. When a sensor drifts out of tolerance or a changeover goes sideways, operators resort to guesswork rather than data-driven insights.
Turning Raw Signals into Actionable Insights
The DX100 is designed to collect and visualize machine data with minimal setup. It connects to existing equipment using globally accepted protocols and comes with off-the-shelf collectors, so you don’t rebuild from scratch. A visual flow editor and low-code logic mean you can define data flows and anomaly checks without complex coding. Status timelines and real-time dashboards let you spot trends at a glance instead of digging through logs.
Real-World Transformations with AI-Ready Data
On the shop floor, the DX100 captures the signals that drive smarter decisions. Sensor drift once meant rising scrap rates, now, with clean, timestamped data, AI models can detect patterns and predict failures before they happen. During changeovers, event logs become the raw material for algorithms that isolate delays in minutes. When vibration levels climb, structured data helps AI recommend maintenance before downtime strikes. It’s not just about collecting data, it’s about unlocking the intelligence within it.
A Low-Code Path from Machine to Dashboard
Building a data collection program used to be the domain of skilled developers. With the DX100, anyone on your team can drag and drop protocol connectors, define conditions in a visual editor, and push contextualized data to your preferred database or cloud platform. Whether you use open-source code, third-party PLCs, or modern cloud services, the process is transparent and free of hidden license fees. IT leaders appreciate the scalability and security of integrated MQTT and SQL connections delivered out of the box.
Embracing Smarter Automation Today
Smarter automation starts with trusting the data that drives decisions. By eliminating programming hurdles, shortening setup times, and giving every stakeholder, from maintenance to plant management, a clear window into process health, the DX100 transforms how factories operate. It’s not just another gadget on the line; it’s the foundation for connected operations that learn, adapt, and evolve.
