Virtual Factory™

The Virtual Factory™ software solution is Orbit's flagship product and is packed with features. It enables managers to capture real-time data from any machine, device, RFID tag, or person in their manufacturing or distribution facilities.

Data is captured whenever a user-defined "event" is fired, with the event's business rules defined by the user. Whenever an event is fired, key data about the event is immediately logged. The software can immediately notify key personnel about critical events via mobile phone, e-mail, or pager. Logged data can be analyzed in chart or graph form in support of Six Sigma, lean manufacturing, and other process-improvement initiatives.

The Virtual Factory™ solution is compatible with almost any digital input/ output device or PLC on the market today. It can also capture data from RFID equipment, barcode scanners, motion detectors, machine power supplies, and video cameras. The system is scalable, allowing it to grow with companies. It runs on a Windows 2000 (or newer) server platform and is Internet-ready.
