The ICS is a distributed, network-based PC compatible control and monitoring system. Real-time embedded PCs are used to control and monitor production hardware, while data consolidation, control arbitration and database support are provided by the server component. User interface capability is available from any location on the network by means of a ASPECT based application. Reporting and print services use any networked or connected printers.
