III. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
FUNCTION
The ORB™ Inventory Management System is an information integration system that interfaces with various
instruments and internet/intranet networks. The ORB transforms data from field instruments into useful information
that enables plant and administrative personnel to more efficiently manage inventory and materials. The heart of
the system is the ORB which acts as a hub for information from various systems, or future products.
The ORB diagram illustrates the various modes of input, output, and communication that can be established with
the ORB. The ORB may be connected digitally with Bindicator
® SonoTracker™ and Yo-Yo™ continuous level
systems, as well as with Kistler-Morse ® single-vessel and multi-vessel weighing systems. Additionally, any 4-20
mA device may be connected to the ORB Inventory Management System using the ORB 4-20 mA Input Box (sold
separately).
