Application example:
This example may be used for automatic recording of date and time of start, stop, alarm status instantaneous and accumulated production rate of a machine. The operator may be requested to introduce a code of an event, for example the reason of a machine stop, alarm or lower production rate than expected.
On the other side, an operator request may be passed automatically to the concerned department, for example to the maintenance without any written document and without delay.
As every event (with the operator information) is recorded in a database, off-line analysis for management purposes becomes an easy and quick operation.
