TSI Introduces OPC UA Server Option for FMS Software

Shoreview, MN—TSI Incorporated, manufacturer of real-time viable particle counters and airborne particle counters for contamination control monitoring, is excited to introduce FMS Software Version 5.4, now including OPC UA Server option. FMS OPC UA Server decreases installation costs by simplifying the facility monitoring system design while offering easy and immediate access to real-time and historic data from multiple sensors connected to FMS—ensuring product quality and patient safety.

Integrated with TSI's AeroTrak® Remote Particle Counters, TSI's FMS OPC UA Client and now Server exchanges environmental data in real-time with end user systems within a facility. As a powerful industrial communication tool, OPC UA Client/Server securely shares data between industrial platforms with ease and reliability, enabling transfer of critical facility monitoring system data to centralized enterprise reporting systems such as LIMS and ERP. 

 "As industry evolves toward continuous manufacturing and real-time release, the need for sensors and software offered by different vendors to exchange data grows," states Tim Russell, TSI Global Product Manager. "TSI's FMS OPC UA Server removes common barriers to communication, allowing critical data to efficiently move around a facility in a secure way to give the right people access to important data where and when they need it." 

TSI's FMS Software is available for cleanroom environments within the pharmaceutical, medical device and life science industries.
