DVT, ICONICS Announce Cooperative Agreement for Production of DVT OPC Server

Atlanta, November 4, 2003 – DVT Corporation has announced a cooperative agreement with ICONICS for the development of an OPC server for DVT products.

‘‘OPC is the fastest growing standard for the exchange of real-time manufacturing and process control data. This cooperative agreement with ICONICS opens the OPC world to DVT,’‘ said Bob Settle, DVT Director of Marketing.  ‘‘Our customers will benefit by the ability to bypass custom interfaces and drivers through the use of OPC. When our customers win, we all win.’‘

The cooperative agreement also includes DVT and ICONICS working together on coordinated marketing programs, Settle noted.

Russ Agrusa, President and CEO of ICONICS, commented ‘‘DVT's leadership in the field of machine vision, coupled with ICONICS leadership in OPC enabled, HMI\SCADA visualization technology for industrial automation, allows our companies to deliver an innovative and robust customer solution.’‘

OPC technology allows users to connect components from different manufacturers to communicate with each other through a common protocol. The ICONICS OPC server technology will allow DVT cameras to receive communications from a variety of components through a single source, resulting in a more powerful system.
