The new KAMPF Production Cockpit (KPC) will support owners and operators of lines andmachines by presenting comprehensive information about the statuses in a comfofortable and accessiblemanner.

Production data are automatically collected, sorted, condensed and evaluated. An integrated server provides password- protected comprehensive infoformation and graphics about the production process, quality and use of one ormoremachines as well as the associated documentation. The user can select location and device, fofor example handheld devices, to view the information individually. Special s ftoftware installations or special IT knowledge will not be necessary. Also the operation of KPC is relatively easy, because the application comes with an intuitive navigation.

The knowledge of such important parameters as energy and overall plant efficiency is the prerequisite fofor the optimal use ofmachines and resources.
