About

Fertigungsdaten auch mobil erfassen und auswerten: Smart MES Applications (SMA) sind ein Set von Apps für SmartPhones und Tablet-PCs, das sowohl Funktionen von Daten­erfassungs­terminals als auch von MES-Anwendungen zur Planung, Auswertung und Information vereinigt und mobil zur Verfügung stellt. Dabei integrieren sich SMA nahtlos in die weit verbreitete MES-Lösung HYDRA und decken alle produktionsnahen Bereiche ab. Smart MES Applications sind allerdings mehr als nur MES-Apps: Beim Erfassen, Auswerten und Darstellen nutzen sie die gleichen Mechanismen wie die bewährten HYDRA-Office Clients und HYDRA-Shopfloor Clients. Durch das ganzheitliche Konzept entstehen keine neuen Schnitt­stellen.

About

IPEmotion ME

Features
Read full description

IPETRONIK has developed the IPEmotion ME app for IPEmotion RT data loggers. With this app, you can view online measurement data via the WiFi or internet connection of the logger. Moreover, it provides a large instrument library to display real-time data. With the remote operation and control function, you can operate analog and digital output channels, reboot the logger, and start or stop measurements. It is also possible to view current system status messages and the health state of the KPI dashboard , record audio notes with the microphone of the mobile device, watch video streams, and check the current GPS position of the logger at any time. Another advantage: multiple mobile devices can access the online data at the same time, allowing you to work even more efficiently.
