Matrikon launches industry-specific data delivery devices

EDMONTON, May 3 /CNW/ - Matrikon Inc. (TSX:MTK), a leading provider of industrial performance monitoring solutions, is pleased to announce the launch of their Matrikon Industrial(TM) line of Intelligent Automation Data Gateways. These gateways combine assured data delivery, connectivity and secure access control in a simple, low-maintenance device.

Reliable data delivery is a common challenge with geographically distributed assets. With today's critical data applications and regulatory environments, a reliable data delivery system is essential. Operational excellence, performance monitoring and regulatory compliance all rely on critical production and equipment data. Even the most robust communication systems can have unexpected outages, which can result in lost data. Matrikon Industrial Gateways' store-and-forward technology solves the challenge of lost data by buffering data when network outages occur and sending it when network connectivity is restored. It also provides data connectivity and assured data delivery in a single device.

"Matrikon has embedded all of our years of expertise in industrial connectivity, network security and data delivery into a simple device. We are uniquely positioned to solve this unmet market need," said Mustafa Al-mosawi, Matrikon Industrial Product Marketing Manager.
