System 800xA now features Analyzer Device Integration Connect (ADIc), a device interface that allows System 800xA to integrate with analyzers and chemiometric predictors. ADIc was developed based on the OPC Analyzer Device specification, an information model that defines a common method for data exchange for process and laboratory analyzers. It is an extension of the OPC United Architecture specification. With ADIc, System 800xA is enhanced with advanced predictive analysis capabilities by leveraging the Unscrambler X ADI Insight Server from CAMO Software. This server applies powerful multivariable models to data collected from analytical instruments or standard process values within the System 800xA environment. — ABB, Zurich, Switzerland
