Merlin Connect is an Industry 4.0 software package developed by A3 Soluzioni Informatiche which is suitable for any market sector. Our industry 4.0 tool connects to your machines, reads their data and transmits them to the IT and/or ERP management system you use for your business.
Everything is done automatically: once the connection is set up, Merlin Connect extracts the data from the machine and makes them available for staff to consult (via a proprietary interface or ERP system). It can also transmit information from the selected source to the machine.

.FUNCTIONS
.3 OPERATING MODES
Thanks to implementation in numerous projects, Merlin Connect is now compatible with a variety of technologies used to send and receive data (e.g. web services, FTP or MQTT protocols, .csv files, .xls files, intermediate database tables, Modbus/TCP, Profinet, OPC-UA servers, etc.). The system has three operating modes.
1. With a Cloud interface
Data can be consulted without an ERP system: Merlin Connect has a proprietary cloud interface which can also be accessed from a smartphone, so users can view data and send management and configuration data to their machinery.

2. With an ERP management system
Merlin Connect can import machine data directly into the ERP system (or make them available to it) where they can be analysed and processed according to your needs. At the same time, it can read or receive data from the ERP system and transmit them to the machines (or make the information available to them).

3. Stand-alone
The software collects the machine data so it can export them and make them available as files, tables, web services or other outputs. Alternatively, it reads the data from the various outputs and makes them available to the machinery.
.INSTALLATION
Depending on your needs and the operating mode you choose, Merlin Connect can be installed with two different solutions:
