The MTConnect® protocol has given the industry a standard way of communicating which moves the focus from communicating directly with the machine’s proprietary interface to communicating with the standard MTConnect interface. This helps divide up the responsibility of the IIoT development cycle so that machine manufacturers only have to focus on making their products MTConnect compatible and application developers only have to focus on interfacing with MTConnect.
A priority of TrakHound is to increase awareness and adoption of MTConnect by providing open source software along with cost effective cloud solutions.
TrakHound is a member of the MTConnect Institute Technical Advisory Group (TAG) and is dedicated to providing support for MTConnect.
