Revolutionizing Maritime Operations
DICE (Dynamic Integrated Control Environment) is a comprehensive software solution designed to unify standard industrial protocols within a single, cohesive interface. It streamlines data acquisition from disparate industrial control systems by supporting multiple communication protocols—such as OPC UA, Modbus, EtherNet/IP, and others—directly through its built-in API. This capability enables seamless protocol conversion, ensuring that valuable operational data is not locked into siloed systems or incompatible formats.
Beyond protocol unification, DICE also facilitates efficient data distribution, making it easy for organizations to share information with other business-critical applications. Users can configure custom data collection intervals, set triggers for event-driven data capturing, and direct outputs to a wide range of endpoints. This flexibility ensures real-time or near-real-time visibility into equipment status, production metrics, and environmental conditions.
A key feature of DICE is its integrated GUI environment. Through intuitive interfaces and a library of customizable controls, DICE allows engineers, operators, and analysts to create dashboards or HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces) tailored to their specific process requirements. These graphical dashboards offer real-time visualization and control, helping teams to quickly identify inefficiencies, predict failures, and make data-driven decisions.
Because DICE centralizes data collection, protocol conversion, and visualization into one platform, it reduces complexity and development overhead. Users can easily incorporate new or updated protocols, connect to additional devices, and integrate advanced analytics solutions without constantly reinventing the wheel. Whether it’s a small-scale deployment or a large industrial operation, DICE’s agile design ensures that critical information can be captured, managed, and acted upon to maintain optimal system performance.
