Zero3 Controls Inc. manufactures the XLT translator and universal interface for supermarket refrigeration and HVAC control.
The XLT: How does it work?
- XLT: The XLT talks to the Legacy System as if it were a human user, sitting next to the controller and constantly asking questions. It takes the data it acquires this way and translates it into a database, a completely common/neutral database that represents a proto-typical supermarket, not wedded to a particular controller. This database is then accessed from the Central Server via the Internet.
- Central Server: The server waits for a user to request access to a particular site, then builds web screens to provide information about this site. These web screens are then passed to the user.
- The User: Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc are used to access any store that’s on your “Allowed” list.
- Neutrality: Zero3 is extremely Legacy Neutral, able to work with manufacturers of the Legacy equipment out there. Most have so far been supportive.
The XLT Architecture brings your store to the web, regardless of your controller. Click for an enlarged drawing.
