The intuitive user interface enables even less tech-savvy and
semi-skilled persons in the situation, the complex control of the
packaging machine in a short time without any training manual and take
over. It is sufficient to instruction in the visual language of the
user interface. The implementation of the control commands in
pictograms provides the operator more control. In this way he can
react faster and proactively act. This increases the operating safety.
Visualization improves understanding of the packaging machinery
2.0 HMI visualized but animated not only individual control commands,
but draws the whole packaging process dar. making it both user
interface and control terminal. Standard continuously displays
information about the production order and carried as status
information. These include the number of finished packages, the clock
speed of the machine, the remainder of the lid or foil and the number
of defective packaging discharged.
Through the integrated sensors measure the Multivac also during the
entire packaging process critical parameters such as sealing time,
sealing pressure and temperature and the vacuum. The data collected
through the IPC-06-machine control and processed via the HMI and 2.0
for the operator clearly visualized. The parameters are stored for
each product to be packaged in the form of a so-called recipe.
Packaging machine interface helps in optimizing
More than 200 recipes are for recurring production jobs quickly
available. In an automated packaging line can packaging systems,
labeling systems and solutions for handling and quality inspection of
the HMI in a single central drive 2.0 operating logic.
Any change of a parameter is immediately displayed in the control
chart. Thus, the HMI supports 2.0 the operator not only help to
understand the individual processes, but also to identify optimization
potentials and use them. Optimized processes generally lead to
significantly lower production costs.
Error Description and Troubleshooting
The user interface of Multivac visualized but also error messages as
well as instructions on how to rectify the fault and general
maintenance instructions. In addition, operators can upload personal
information to assist in the resolution of typical errors. This allows
the downtime of the machines will be greatly reduced.
If the user does not continue alone, he can contact the service team
of Multivac. Employees can be switched with the consent of the
customer on the machine, because the control has an optional VPN
access for remote maintenance.
