Automaxis (coming in 2012)

Automaxis is the solution to your enclosure automation needs. The system is fully customizeable and is flexible enough to handle a wide range of enclosure types including dual shutter, single shutter, and roll-off roofs. Each of your enclosure axes can be configured to respond to any number of external sensors such as magnetic limit switches, pulse sensors, and even PS/2 barcode readers. Not all Automaxis boards need to be physically connected to the computer. The base Automaxis board connects directly to your computer via a USB or RS232 Serial cable and will relay messages to remote Automaxis boards wirelessly. This 2.4Ghz spread spectrum wireless technology gives you a reliable connection to your remotely controlled hardware.
