2. IT’S NOT A PLC. IT’S NOT A PAC. IT’S NOT A PC.
IT’S AN EDGE PROGRAMMABLE INDUSTRIAL CONTROLLER
(EPIC),
AND THE ACRONYM SAYS IT ALL.

EDGE
collect, process, view, and exchange data
where it's produced—at the edge of the
network.
Securely share data among databases,
cloud platforms, web services, PLC
systems, and other systems and equipment,
using open, modern communication
standards.
Visualize data on the controller’s integral
touchscreen, an external HDMI monitor, or
from any web browser or mobile device.

8. An edge programmable industrial controller, groov EPIC
is much more than a PLC or a PAC. We designed it from
the ground up as both a reliable real-time industrial
controller and a processor to collect, process, display,
and exchange data.
groov EPIC talks directly to field devices, other control
systems, databases, cloud services, and a lot more.
EPIC helps solve the challenges of complexity, security,
and cost.
One industrial unit takes the place of all that
middleware.
Encryption, user authentication, and communication
options help you implement a more secure system.
Getting data where you need it is faster and easier with
built-in, easy-to-use software.
