InDriver Batch Records Integration

Does your company struggle with processing data from PDF files? 🤔

The InDriver platform from inalytics.io is a powerful tool for automating data acquisition — even from PDF files! 📂➡️💾

With InDriver, you can:

✅ Automatically extract content from PDF files, such as batch records generated by production machines.

✅ Process data from files (PDF, XML, TXT) and log them to SQL databases in JSON format.

✅ Monitor network directories for new files.

✅ Exchange data via multiple interfaces available in InDriver:

🔹 OPC UA (Client/Server) – Integration with industrial systems

🔹 REST API, SQL API, SMTP API – Communication with IT systems

🔹 ModbusAPI, SocketAPI, SerialPortAPI – Connectivity with shop-floor devices

📈 Business Case Example:

“A pharmaceutical manufacturer reduced reporting time by 80% through batch record automation.”

🛠️ InDriver's code is simple and flexible. Here’s an example of reading a PDF file and saving its content to a SQL database in JSON format:

InDriver.import("PdfApi");
PdfApi.setCodec("ISO 8859-2");

// Open the PDF document
PdfApi.load('c:\\FilesFolder\\batch_record.pdf');

let pdfText = PdfApi.pageText(0); // Load the first page

// Process pdfText or load additional pages

// Insert PDF content into the SQL database
InDriver.sqlExecute(
  "azureserver", 
  "insert into public.batch_records (source, ts, data) \
   values ('Machine1','" + new Date().toISOString() + "',$$" + pdfText + "$$);"
);

💡 This is just one example of InDriver’s capabilities — automating processes, integrating with machines, acquiring, and analyzing data has never been easier!
