With the "e‑cockpit" application on the mobile smartphone, all Thermo‑6 users can work even more efficiently and safely. The app for smartphones and tablets accesses the Gate‑6 interface server and the Thermo‑6 temperature control units connected to it locally via Bluetooth. Via "e‑cockpit" and "Gate‑6", you can call up analysis data, allow remote access, directly access all online documentation on the "Knowledge" platform or, for example, create a unit‑specific ticket with analysis data at the touch of a button. Furthermore, "e‑cockpit" contains the scanner for the HB‑Therm-specific QR codes on the unit or on the spare parts. This gives customers a transparent overview of current production and allows them to intervene remotely if problems occur.
