Tune in to this month's IntegrateLive! virtual workshop to see how groov RIO can help you get actionable insights from legacy equipment in record time.

Legacy equipment has earned its place in your operations—built to last, reliable as ever, and still getting the job done. But for all its dependability, these systems often have one glaring flaw: they’re data blind.

You can’t manage what you can’t measure, and with legacy systems, it’s like trying to navigate with a compass in a GPS world. They generate valuable data, but getting it out and putting it to use? That’s another story. Adding sensors, upgrading infrastructure, or even attempting to connect these systems to modern data platforms often comes with prohibitive costs, long timelines, and significant operational disruption.

Join Benson Hougland from Opto 22 and Graeme Welton from Flow Software in the latest IntegrateLive! Virtual Workshop (Dec. 18 at 11 am EST) as they tackle adding data acquisition, machine monitoring, history, and trending capabilities to unconnected legacy equipment for immediate ROI.

Suppose you overcome the first challenge of accessing legacy data. The next hurdle is figuring out what to do with it. Traditional historians, while powerful, come with their own set of headaches:

• High Costs: Licensing fees, support contracts, and required hardware add up fast.
• Complexity: Installation, configuration, and maintenance often require specialized skills.
• Rigid Architectures: They’re often built with inflexible structures that struggle to adapt to the evolving needs of modern businesses.

This leaves many businesses stuck—reliable equipment producing untapped data and outdated tools failing to deliver the visibility and insights required to thrive in today’s competitive market.

The Solution: A Modern Approach to Data

What if you could break this cycle? What if you could connect your legacy equipment, start trending data, and gain actionable insights without breaking the bank—or your back?

Enter groov RIO and Flow Software’s Timebase Historian. Together, they’ve turned what used to be a monumental challenge into an accessible, cost-effective solution:

• Access Legacy Data: With groov RIO, adding sensors and connecting legacy systems is as easy as plug-and-play, no complex programming needed.
• Store and Trend: Timebase Historian offers an affordable, scalable, and maintenance-light way to trend, store, and access your data without the headaches of traditional historians.
• Immediate ROI: The setup is so simple you can start visualizing and leveraging data within an hour, not weeks or months.

By transforming your legacy equipment into a source of real-time, actionable insights, you’ll unlock untapped potential and gain the operational visibility needed to make smarter decisions—without costly replacements or bloated tools.

The time has come to bridge the gap between legacy reliability and modern efficiency. With groov RIO and Timebase Historian, you don’t have to choose between the past and the future—you can have both.
