Data Routing and Sharing for Enterprise Quality Intelligence

With InfinityQS Enterprise Integration Service (EIS), you can easily route your data from one location to another. As the name implies, EIS will allow you to leverage your quality data across the enterprise, enhancing your business' decision-making power.

EIS runs in the background as a Windows Service, so no operator input is required. ProFicient does not need to be running for EIS to route your data.

Store and Forward Routing: This type of routing is set up on a single workstation. It ensures that the workstation continues to collect data, even when the network database is inaccessible. You can also use Store and Forward Routing to send department data to a particular site or to corporate databases.

Store and Forward Routing over the Internet: With EIS, you can forward your quality data from one network domain to another over the Cloud (Internet). To perform this type of routing you will need to have EIS running on two computers-one on each side of the cloud.

Equipment Integration Routing: Equipment manufacturers that support IDEF also fit within this routing paradigm. Typically, test equipment will write IDEF Measurement Data files which can be read by a File Reader and a ProFicient Measurement Data Writer (or eSPC Measurement Data Writer).

How it Works

When you implement IES, you will likely learn about the InfinityQS Data Exchange Format (IDEF). IDEF is a specification for how data is arranged so that it can be easily routed and transported to various locations.

Each Routing Configuration is made up of one Reader and one Writer.

A Reader reads data from a data source, converts the data into the IDEF Specification, and then dispatches the packets to a Writer.

A Writer receives IDEF Packets from a Reader, converts the IDEF packets into appropriately formatted data and then publishes that information to some data source. Different readers and writers exist for connecting to different types of data sources.

When setting up a routing configuration, you can choose any one reader and any one writer.
