Help us name our latest solution

13 September 2010

Due to the fact that we are mainly left-brain thinkers at IDX (what else can you expect from a bunch of electrical and IT engineers), we are having a slight dilemma finding a name for our new solution. Currently, it has the name “IDX Brick” but we think it needs a lot more pizzazz. Hence this request for help…

Basic the IDX Brick consists of our Industrial Data Xchange (IDX) software running on an embedded platform happily translating data from an OPC Server to the site’s PROFIBUS network. Pretty neat!

So we would like to extend the invitation to you for you to submit a name that we can label this device with. Please add your comments to the end of this blog.
