DataMyte, A Rockwell Automation Business

Source: Rockwell Automation, Inc.
The DataMyte Business of Rockwell Automation is headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota, about 20 miles west of Minneapolis. Incorporated in 1965 as Electro/General Corporation, the company changed its name to DataMyte in 1983, taking the name of its major product line, DataMyte data collectors. DataMyte became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Allen-Bradley Company, Inc. in 1986, a division in 1990, and a business unit in 1993. In December 1995, Allen-Bradley became Rockwell Automation.

DataMyte's first volume users were the major automotive companies. The use of DataMyte systems became widespread as these manufacturers increasingly turned to statistical process control (SPC) for their quality programs. DataMyte products are now used in a wide range of industries, including automotive, aerospace, packaging, pharmaceutical, medical, and food processing.

DataMyte specializes in industrial data collection systems for the improvement of quality and productivity. These products include hardware, such as the renowned DataMyte data collectors, gage interface design and application, as well as Linear Variable Differential Transducer (LVDT) and precision measurement devices.

DataMyte also specializes in data collection and analysis software, such as Quantum SPC/DC data collection software, Quantum SPC/QA quality analysis software, and the new DataMyte Reporting and Analysis program. DataMyte also offers the Quantum Factory line of factory floor management software, including Quantum Factory EnGage! gage calibration and management software. In short, DataMyte offers a full line of software products designed to work seamlessly with DataMyte hardware data collection devices.
