NDC’s 8000 TDi web gauging system is based on a Totally Distributed Intelligence (TDi) architecture that is fundamentally different from other gauging systems. Every critical node in the system is intelligent. For example, the operator workstations (OWS), the scanning frames (iFramesTM) and the measurement gauges (iSensorsTM). The intelligent frames and intelligent gauges operate in parallel to provide fast response for all data generation and information transmission tasks. This distributed intelligent structure creates high system integrity, seamless expansion and a simplified gauging platform.
