In der iXmobile App können Sie Ihre Maschinen einfach hinzufügen und jederzeit den aktuellen Produktionsstatus einsehen. Sie erhalten Benachrichtigungen beim Stopp der Produktion oder sich andeutenden Problemen. Dadurch können kostenintensive Stillstände insbesondere im bedienerarmen oder bedienerfreien Betrieb schnell erkannt und verhindert werden. Darüber hinaus unterstützen Sie Benachrichtigungen über schwer zu erkennende und auf die Dauer kostspielige schleichende Leckagen des Hydrauliköls, Temperaturüberschreitungen oder problematische Alarmmeldungen bei der effizienten Nutzung Ihres Maschinenparks. Mit iX4.0 und der iXmobile App machen Sie sich die Expertise von INDEX über die Verhinderung von Maschinenstillständen zu Nutze und haben stets Transparenz über den aktuellen Zustand Ihrer Maschinen, egal wo Sie sich gerade befinden.
