X-Pact^® Process Guidance

New standard for the future automatic control of complex plants

Process-oriented operational guidance von SMS group ensures the same look and feel for the whole digital environment across all products.

This automation technology creates the necessary transparency for your plant and links knowledge and data intelligently and systematically.

Seamless merging of automation levels and a component-oriented system allow extendibility by adding further modules and applications.

⇒ For no break in operation.

⇒ For high flexible production with ever smaller batch sizes and increasingly wider production mixes.

⇒ For handling also special situations through operators, no matter how experienced he may be.

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 Casting Machine tracks the material flow and transformation and guides the operator along the entire casting process.

Special feature: 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.

Specific dialogsfor specific requirements

Specific dialogs for specific categories of users, for example line operators, technologists, maintenance personnel, production managers, etc., while focusing on their individual context of activities.
