OverviewEPM Data integrates instrument-grade measurement, modular hardware and purpose-built software to deliver a time-aligned, tamper-resistant process record for temperature-driven operations. It captures accurate, time-stamped thermal and process signals to support run review, audit readiness and regulatory compliance across metals, heat treatment, life sciences and other temperature-critical sectors.
Key features- Built-in audit trail logging configuration changes and user actions for a consistent, reviewable record.
- Touch-based on-screen configuration for rapid setup of I/O, channels and recording parameters without external tools.
- Industrial, serviceable design with field-replaceable HMI and I/O modules to minimise downtime and simplify maintenance.
- Multiple display sizes (7-inch and 15-inch widescreen) to fit diverse panel layouts and operator workflows.
- Instrument-grade precision inputs and patented I/O architecture to meet strict accuracy requirements for thermal data.
- Native I/O expansion to increase channel count without additional external hardware, reducing wiring complexity.
- Secure, segmented networking with multiple Ethernet ports to support IT/OT separation and industrial cybersecurity practices.
- Embedded HTML5 web server for secure remote viewing and monitoring from standard browsers.
- Form factor compatible with legacy panel cut-outs for drop-in replacement of paper or digital chart recorders.
Product variants and form factors- EPM-07: 7-inch widescreen panel model; 9 I/O module slots; up to 27 high-precision analog input (AI) channels onboard.
- EPM-15: 15-inch widescreen panel model; 18 I/O module slots; up to 54 high-precision AI channels onboard.
Data Reviewer- Intuitive charting and trend tools to view and review historical process data.
- Supports process run review, approval and audit workflows using a single, consistent process record.
- Optional audit trail and electronic signature capabilities for regulated approval workflows.
EPM Edge Modules- I/O Extender (IOE) — expansion option (subject to availability).
- Power Supply (PBF) and Analog Input module (AI3) available to tailor channel counts and power requirements.
Applications & benefits- Designed for temperature-driven industries: metals and heat treat, aerospace, life sciences, biopharma, clinical equipment, foodservice and other regulated or quality-critical environments.
- Delivers trusted, tamper-resistant process records to support audits, regulatory compliance, product release decisions and long-term retention without manual reconciliation.
- Consolidates operator, engineering and quality workflows on one consistent process record to reduce errors and speed investigations.
