Description

We named the control system superstructure “TOScontrol”. It is a suite of applications and functions for advanced machine management.

For easy and intuitive operation, the system contains a default screen with icons of individual applications (similar to the operating systems of mobile devices).

The applications are clearly displayed on the machine control panel, and the operator can seamlessly switch between them. The solution also includes the management of user accounts.

Motivation

Industry 4.0 offers virtually unlimited possibilities in the field of connecting machines to production systems, their integration, including a high degree of automation for complex control and monitoring of the quality of the production process.

Our objective is to offer a superstructure of the classic machine control system that offers many special functions.
