Operator Interface Applications with Industrial PCs
Industrial PCs are being used to form an interface between the operator and central system in factory conditions.
They can be used in combination with both KeyPDTs and Smart Counters when there is the need to realize paperless factory applications, such as machine-based dashboard applications that KPIs are instantly presented to operators, launching an operation, setup and showing the operator instructions during quality test moments.
Advantages of using Industrial PCs as Operator Interfaces are as follows:
- All of the functions that need to be carried out next to the manufacturing machine in a factory can be done bidirectionally with this industrial device, from both the machine and operator to the center and also from the center to the machine and operator, in addition to the KeyPDT and Smart Counter.
- The operations of the operator introducing oneself next to a machine and the starting of production depending on work orders can be done.
- During the launching of production, work order details and the instructions regarding the issues that need caution in production that need to be presented to the operator can be presented automatically.
- Necessary instructions and work order can automatically be shared with the operator during setup or trouble shooting process.
- The problems that may occur regarding low performance and quality ratios etc. can be instantly determined via the sharing of the KPIs calculated by the system instantly with the operators.
- Informing and automatic directing of operators on workflow, processes and how they will be conducted can be ensured.
