PROCESS SUPPORT The anomaly detection supports process owners in monitoring the production process. An intelligent, self-learning process continuously monitors all available process parameters of the machine. The anomaly detection is thus able to detect abnormalities in the process at an early stage and to communicate these proactively to the user.​ Using intelligent filters, important machine events such as parameter changes and alarms are recognized and provided as notification in the machine chronicle. The machine itself also becomes an active team member. In addition, you will always have a detailed insight into important machine data.​ Benefits: - Always up-to-date with the machines latest events - Detecting process faults before a standstill occurs​ - Detecting deviations within the process before component quality suffers​
