FAQs: System requirements

Yes. Perceptor IoT supports data entry via a barcode scanner as well as keyboard and mouse input.

Yes. Perceptor IoT supports multiple systems, saving to the same SQL database with configuration set ups available to other stations.

All data transmission is enforced to use TLS 1.2 or above encryption.

Data is also encrypted at rest in the Perceptor cloud tenancy.

Source code is obfuscated.

Perceptor undertakes regular OWASP reporting to identify and remove vulnerabilities, as well as annual penetration testing of the product and infrastructure.

Electronic signatures are employed specifically for the Operator Override function under 21 CFR Compliance Mode.

The signing process requires:

• the user's email address
• user's 4-digit PIN (non-biometric, two-component signature per 21 CFR Part 11 §11.200(a))
• selection of a justification reason

Each electronic signature is unique to one individual and cannot be reused. Signed records include the full name/email of the signer, their 4-digit PIN along with the date and time.

If you are purchasing new Zebra ZT610 or ZT 620 printers, your reseller will supply the printer and the firmware required.  The firmware has its own SKU/part number so that it can be ordered as a distinct item if existing Zebra printers are to be upgraded for use with Perceptor IoT.

The firmware will then be installed during implementation of Perceptor IoT.

Please see this short video from Zebra showing the simple steps for implementing Perceptor IoT including the Zebra firmware. 

Yes - an indicator light is currently in use with the TSC Printronix T6000 and T8000 printers. This is useful for operations where staff may not be present consistently at the printer or maybe in a large, noisy warehouse.

This solution can also be made available for the ZT600 series printers.

No. 

All Perceptor IoT systems are sold with our IoT device which is pre-installed with a single board PC running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC.

It has a 7" touchscreen so it can be run fully just with the touch.

If desired, a monitor, keyboard and mouse can be plugged in so the solution can be run from both a desktop User Interface or switch to the 7" touch. 

Yes. This can be achieved using the optional applicator port on the printer. Perceptor also offers a DIN rail mountable PLC module for native communication to Siemens, Rockwell, Codesys, and Mitsubishi PLCs.

No. Perceptor offers two user interfaces: a Full Desktop UI and a 7 inch Touch UI. The Touch UI allows operators to log in, select templates, run batches, review passed and failed labels, and close a batch without requiring computer skills.

The Full Desktop UI provides access to all features including template creation and system configuration. The IoT Device is quickly connected to a monitor, keyboard and mouse to run the full UI.

The 7 inch Touch UI is integral to the IoT Device which is a single board PC Win 10 IOT Enterprise LTSC.

Yes. Perceptor IoT is capable of integrating with Microsoft Sentinel for enhanced security and threat monitoring.

The IoT Device is also installed with eIoT Defender and onboarded to Perceptor's Microsoft Arc for real-time monitoring and alerts if a malicious application is installed or detected.

Note: the eIoT Defender agent is only licensed and activated once the IoT Device is registered with Perceptor; ensuring all devices are registered is the End User's responsibility. IoT Devices should be registered here: perceptor-inspection.com/register-perceptor-iot-devices
