Information layerGetting the measurement off the plant
Plant data is worth nothing until it arrives intact.
Industrial networks, measurement hardware and data logging that carry controllers, field devices and plant computers to the people who need the answer, without losing what the number meant.
How we approach it
The traffic your plant depends on, designed rather than assumed.
Industrial networks
Kairos designs, installs and tests the connections between controllers, field devices, computers and supervisory systems.

Network experience covers ASI, Profibus, Profinet, DeviceNet, ControlNet, Ethernet, Modbus and wireless systems.
- Network architecture
- Multi-protocol fieldbus integration
- Segmented plant connectivity
Data acquisition
When the controller cannot capture it, measure it properly instead. Kairos builds PC-based data acquisition on National Instruments DAQ hardware, using USB, PCI, PXI, wireless and Ethernet connections.

Measurements include thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors, strain gauges, load cells, torque transducers, IEPE accelerometers and microphones. The hardware range covers 12 to 24-bit resolution and sampling rates up to 1 MS/s.
Automill provides a feed-mill example of the reporting workflow: production totals, bills of materials and inventory data connect to ERP, alongside shift, yield and stock variance reports.
- Data logging
- OPC integration
- Pulse and frequency measurement
Industrial computers
Hardware chosen for where it has to live, not for what is on the shelf. Industrial PCs and interface computers bring measurement, logging and operator software into the plant. Hardware selection follows the installation environment and support requirements.

Information layer
A measurement needs a route to the people using it.
Industrial networks, data acquisition and OPC integration connect field measurements to operator displays and production records.
