The Data Flow Controller empowers on-site staff to start data utilization on their own, even if they’re unfamiliar with programming languages or control programs.

The Data Flow Controller can be retrofitted easily with Ethernet cables—no need to rewire your existing equipment.

SpeeDBee Synapse, a data collection/utilization tool built into the Data Flow Controller, and the Chart Display Tool are both browser-based. They don’t need to be installed to your PC, and can be viewed and configured anytime, anywhere.

The Data Flow Controller’s flow editor lets you create data processes (data flows) just by connecting the processing blocks (components) you need with lines.Processes for collection, analysis, transmission, integration, etc. can be created intuitively, making designing accessible even to those unfamiliar with programming.

We provide tutorial videos for a range of Data Flow Controller operations, from first-time login to troubleshooting—with even more to come.

Data from different devices, including non-OMRON PLCs, can be collected in time-series format.
Data can also be viewed together with corresponding video. This allows you to examine equipment behavior upon issue occurrence, making data analysis and identification easier.

To make data utilization easier, the Data Flow Controller has a built-in package, including templates for critical indicators.
It can also be customized for more advanced data utilization that the templates may not cover.

Start your data utilization journey smoothly by simply connecting the specified devices*1 and selecting packages pre-installed to the Data Flow Controller.

*1. For the connected devices of each package, refer to the data sheet of the Data Flow Controller DX1 (Cat. No. V305)

Customization using PythonTM and C—for connection with PLCs provided by non-OMRON suppliers, complex calculations, communication via unsupported protocols, and other system-specific features are covered.

The Packages helps you track uptime, identify stoppage causes, and make improvements. It coordinates four separate packages to visualize everything from individual equipment and devices to the factory at large along the same timeline, and links KPIs with on-site operations. Each package can also be individually implemented, allowing you to start small according to the specific needs of your production site.

The Data Flow Controller can be retrofitted without stopping your equipment, allowing you to start data utilization smoothly and without impacting productivity.

The Data Flow Controller supports an extensive array of communication methods and requires no replacement of devices or control programs. This means that you can start data utilization with your equipment kept running, even when using a non-OMRON PLC.
