As a member of the Supply Chain Sustainability School, datumpin understand and actively contribute to helping our customers become more sustainable. In addition to environmental benefits, this can help brands develop a positive reputation in a marketplace that increasingly favors sustainable brands. At datumpin, we are committed to sustainability and pride ourselves on helping our subscribers minimise their environmental impact. What is datumpin?
datumpin embedded data memory (eDM) connects seamlessly to your PLC network, harvesting your data to create an onboard, formatted binary memory of setpoints, digital, analogue and error messages on a synchronised time base. Coupled with datumpins’ edge computing, stored data from multiple sources is synchronised in a curated data repository store.
With datumpin, your PLC data history is at your fingertips, enabling cyber secure transmittal to your process control systems, enabling fault diagnosis and optimisation.
A Complete Service
datumpin subscribers benefit from a complete service, which includes free security patches, software upgrades and recycling of old technology. This ensures that you can stay up-to-date and current with cutting edge technology without putting in any work yourself. Frequent updates and maintenance ensure that subscribers can prolong the life of their box beyond the typical lifespan. This prevents the need for regular replacements, which reduces waste and saves money.
With other tech companies, you will have to manage your own replacements and sign up for extended warranties, which can require a lot of ongoing effort and spending. In addition, it is frustrating when you have to find a responsible way to get rid of outdated technology.
Stay Current With The Latest Tech
The general information tech cycle is around 3-5 years, so technology becomes outdated after this period. Instead of having to spend time researching and paying out for upgrades, subscribers will benefit from free upgrades so that you are always utilising the best and latest technology. Some are deterred by the idea of being tied into a subscription, but our service will prove to be cost effective and simplify the important process of keeping your tech up to date.
Avoid Tech Waste
With a somewhat short tech cycle, adding to the tech junk pile unfortunately can be too easy. The improper disposal of outdated tech can have a significant impact on the environment in a few different ways:
- Landfill space
- Soil and water contamination
- Resource depletion
- Increase demand for raw material extraction
- Increased greenhouse gas emissions
Businesses can improve their sustainability credentials with a datumpin subscription. We reuse as much old technology as possible and recycle items to minimise waste. This is all done without subscribers having to lift a finger, so it is a simple and easy way to minimise your environmental impact while getting all of your tech needs handled for you.
Increase Efficiency
In addition to this, modern technology is often efficient and can reduce environmental impact. With a datumpin subscription, you could reduce your energy usage by utilising the latest and most cutting edge technology. Not only will this minimise your environmental impact, but you could also make savings on your energy bill - something every business is looking to do in 2024!
Prevent Data Breaches
Another important consideration is data security. Improper disposal of technology can create data vulnerabilities, which could lead to unauthorised access to corporate data. Business tech often contains sensitive data, including financial data, intellectual property, confidential communication and customer data. A data breach could cause significant harm to a business in many ways, including:
- Financial losses
- Legal liabilities
- Reputation damage (which is hard to recover from)
- Regulatory penalties
Cybercrime is a growing threat, and criminals know it is not uncommon for businesses to discard old technology without using secure data erasure methods. Simply deleting files does not completely erase the data, and cybercriminals will be capable of using sophisticated data retrieval techniques that can retrieve deleted data. This is another reason why a datumpin subscription is wise - we take cybersecurity seriously and will never put your sensitive corporate data at risk.
Additionally, we will perform regular security updates for you to ensure that you are always protected against the latest and most sophisticated attacks. This means you do not have to worry about cybercrime and data breaches and can instead focus on your business objectives.
