04 / APPLICATIONS & OPERATIONS 

### ThinkLink

From data and alerts to AI operations and micro-apps.

AI + JAVASCRIPT

## Develop with AI. Execute on the device with EdgeBus.

A lightweight JavaScript VM lets acquisition logic adapt to your site.

01 / ADAPT 

### Adapt field protocols

Write, review and debug acquisition programs against device protocols and existing instrument data formats.

02 / PROCESS 

### Process data at the edge

Validate, convert, aggregate and report changes on the collector, shaping wireless payloads to your needs.

03 / EVOLVE 

### Evolve with your application

Adjust parameters and sampling intervals or update programs within device and firmware capabilities.

ALREADY CONNECTED / Integrated devices
