TCS(NZ) Ltd gives you Distributed Intelligence (based on IEC 61499 standard)

Agile manufacturing is no longer just a dream, it is a reality.  TCS has this exciting new paradigm and leading edge technology available now.

An industrial automation and control technology that simplifies complexity, markedly reduces the cost of engineering time and hardware, and is also extensible and scalable.  The technology is called Distributed Intelligence (“DI”) and it is the way forward for agile manufacturing.  DI is an automation and control technology for industry that is reliable, readily reconfigurable, and able to be continually changeable.

DI equips traditionally unintelligent network devices with control software and many benefits are gained by distributing the control or decision making over a multitude of processes.  The greatly flattened architecture of DI makes possible the performance of all control activities in intelligent peripheral devices without the need for any central control units.  The vision of intelligent and collaborative industrial environments that truly have dynamic, agile, and reconfigurable production and manufacturing equipment is then a reality.
