Visualization: Operating and Monitoring
Process automation is almost unthinkable without using a PC today. Functionality and power of today's hard and software enable countless applications which can be implemented cost efficient and flexible on a PC platform. Operating and monitoring is part of an area that has changed completely over the last decade. From equipment that was mounted on the doors of a cabinet to a software solution that is implemented on a PC platform. The availability of powerful office and internet technologies further boosted the development to provide information virtually everywhere in a plant.
Dürr has developped web based systems for HMI and supervisory control requirements on machinery and production plants. The simple use of a web browser provides the user with a powerful tool. The products EcoScreen and EcoEMOS on the Dürr platform are the standard products and concrete applications that have been implemented numerous times. Both incorporate the Dürr expierience regarding process visualization and supervisory control in a paintshop. The platform itself can be used in any other industry as well.
Scalability from a single machine to a shop or a whole plant, that's what excels the system. Embedded redundancy mechanisms provide a maximum of reliability and availability. A hundred or hundreds of thousands data points, due to easy scalability, no problem.
Dürr customers are spread around the world, multilanguage support thus a basic understanding. Integrated functions to implement a multilingual application reduce the effort for the localization dramatically. Different languages, also asian ones - no problem.
Dürr software is based on availiable and proven easy to use standards.
Microsoft Windows, Office and Internet Explorer are prominent examples for such standars. Due to their market presence these standards form the ideal basis for the Dürr automation solutions.
