Malvern Link II named as Breakthrough Product of the Year

Malvern Link II has been named by Processing magazine as one of its Breakthrough Products of the Year for 2010. This powerful OPC-standardized software package from Malvern Instruments provides a universal interface for system integrators, simplifying the integration of analytical devices with expert control systems in manufacturing processes. The OPC is a universally recognised body that promotes open connectivity via open standards. Malvern Instruments is a founder members of the OPC working group set up in 2008 to develop a common method for data exchange and an analyzer model for process and laboratory systems, and Malvern Link II uses the latest OPC protocol.  
The use of in- and on-line analyzers is increasingly widespread but they only fulfil their ultimate potential when used for automated control. Malvern Link II enables the development of control architectures that can acquire and use data, from Malvern systems and from diverse array of different analyzers. This eliminates the need for multiple dedicated solutions. With a simple drag and drop tool that allows the sequencing of many standard operating procedures, Malvern Link II (Fig.) can be used to create limitless process scenarios with fully customized presentation of data and live displays.
