3D-Views into the System – without opening the enclosure
System operators, service technicians or maintenance teams can now view complex hidden machine components and assemblies directly from the outside – without having to gain access through the system enclosure. By enlarging the image of an individual component, its part number will automatically be displayed. Wear and tear parts that may be required to be replaced can thus be queried from the Ersa Online Store and directly ordered, simply by tapping on the touchscreen. Additional information such as installation and maintenance instructions, process parameters and adjustments as well as many other details are directly available to the operator.
If Ersa IMAGESOFT is operating online, that is connected to a system, then all system operating parameters are recorded. The wear parts library determines automatically which parts are when to check or when to replace. Through capturing the bar code of the replacement part, the next service interval will be calculated, always considering the level of system utilization.
The data stored can also be accessed in offline operation. Ersa IMAGESOFT integrates the Industry 4.0 connection as overall communication man-machine-assembly-parameter with feedback. With that, it is possible for the first time to display to a person via a 3D image – similar to an x-ray picture – complex systems and system functions during operation (also possible without system).
