Elements Hub (EH)

Elements Hub

Elements Hub is a background service that makes Rhopoint instruments visible to the rest of your factory and laboratory systems. It sits between devices and third‑party software, collecting measurements and status from instruments and then sharing this information in a simple, consistent way. Typical connections include SPC and quality systems, PLCs, robots, cobots and other automation controllers that need live appearance data to make decisions.

By using Elements Hub as a single connection point, external systems do not need their own custom drivers for each Rhopoint device. Instead, they can subscribe to measurement values, pass/fail results and basic control signals from instruments such as Rhopoint Aesthetix, Rhopoint TAMS and Rhopoint ID through standard interfaces. This reduces integration effort, speeds up commissioning and makes it easier to maintain a connected appearance measurement environment over time.

The Rhopoint Elements Hub web service exposes a versioned REST API for discovering devices, controlling connected hardware, collecting measurements, and administering the hub. The API is documented via Swagger/OpenAPI and ships with an auto-configured Swagger UI at runtime. Use this guide to start the service, explore the available endpoints, and generate strongly typed clients from the OpenAPI description.
