Test bench for a Distibuted Data Collector (DDC)

A system for monitoring and analysing the state of equipment and processes in i.e. the industry will help to increase productivity and prevent unscheduled stops for maintenance. To do so certain parameters needs to be measured and analysed. The DDC (Distributed Data Collector) will collect this data...
