• Exported files can be stored in a local folder, or on a remote computer or server on the network for an easier
access.
• Exported files can be accessed using tools such as Excel for later review or analysis.
• Exported files can also be configured to serve as inputs to other plant systems.
• Exported files can be generated either on demand, or automatically base certain criteria such as: Date, shift,
product change, etc.
User Manager

•- Operation, Supervision, Administration and Engineering are included.
• The user manager system allows the following functions:
•- Creation of new users.

• It is also possible to have multi-screen arrangements or "Video Walls" in order to increase the display
area.
• Automatic data collection provides a number of advantages such as:
- Information reliability since it is coming directly from the machine.
- Timely information. Having the information at the right time to make right
decisions.
- Avoid voluntary or involuntary data entry errors.
- Reduce the need of manual data entry.
• Exported files can also be emailed automatically.
• It is also possible to export screen images to pdf files.
• Our systems can be interfaced to plant information systems such as:
- MES
- ERP / MRP
- Quality
- Maintenance
- Propietary or in house developed systems
• The list of email recipients can also be configured.
• Timely event notifications allows a rapid response and solution to situations on the plant floor.
• When a Call / Event occurs, the system plays the corresponding melody according to the configuration
settings.
• The teammates intended to respond to the Calls / Events identify who is responsible for the call depending
on the melody being played.
• Audible notifications allow a rapid response and solution to situations on the plant floor, and therefore
improvements in productivity.
