Modules

Tracking module displays the current status of the plant: which product is being produced, in which quality and under which conditions?

Reporting module captures all necessary data. Editing of the report designs is another key feature of this module.

Example: The casting machine tracks the material flow and transformation and guides the operator along the entire casting process.
Process slider

The process slider as the plant operator’s central HMI unit provides intelligent, process-oriented and situation-specific operator guidance. It ensures that the operator receives only information needed for a particular process step.
