Fruit of cutting-edge engineering technology, the logistic platform is their first step in establishing a new production hub which is now the most important in southern Europe.

The production manager has exclusive use of the local client, otherwise known as thin client, while Web Clients can use any browser to access the server from various types of devices, such as smartphone, tablet or PC, with personalized password protection.

The factory’s process data has also been integrated and stored on a relational database with the use of historical trends to view the most important process variables.

The upstream machines can be held on hold for new instructions while other sections of the production line can be switched off entirely or put on standby.
