Communicates with a variety of databases
Using Microsoft's ODBC technology Co-Log/Open communicates with a variety of databases and ERP systems. In addition to native database access, Co-Log/Open can communicate directly to a variety of host platforms, including Windows�, Unix or AS/400. Additionally, through its use of TCP/IP and radio frequency (IEEE 802.11b) connectivity, Co-Log/Open enables a company to leverage its existing network and support personnel.

Focus on your company's needs
Co-Log/Open lets you focus on your company's unique needs instead of the intricacies of data collection hardware and software. Minimal programming experience is required to create an exact solution that lets you enforce your business rules on the shop floor or in the warehouse. Because it is easy to use and configure, Co-Log/Open installations can be deployed rapidly and can evolve quickly and constantly, allowing for a faster return on investment.

Easy to maintain
Co-Log/Open was designed to be as easy to maintain, as it is to configure. Network diagnostics allow for control and monitoring of all devices from a single computer. Intelligent terminals reduce the load on host systems and allow for continuous operation, even in the event of network failure.

Extensive equipment support
Co-Log/Open's flexibility extends to the data collection equipment it supports. Co-Log/Open communicates with the Apex III and IV data collection terminals.
