The right information at the right place

To properly use data, one must be able to properly access it. That‘s why we‘ve introduced mobile client apps that connect to SIMATIC automation systems, MindSphere or Siemens Industrial Edge, allowing you to convert your smart device into a machine notification center or mobile performance monitor. Benefit from all the onboard features of your smartphone.
In today's production plants, literally every minute counts: If there is a problem, the employees have only a limited amount of time to rectify the fault before other machines or plant components also become affected. Wearables – notably smart watches – can provide effective support in this regard: These alert and inform the employees immediately and directly of any faults or necessary interventions in the process during production such as resupplying material – without the necessity for direct visual contact with the HMI device or signaling column. This allows faults to be rectified more quickly, reducing downtimes significantly. Another benefit: They do not feature an integrated camera and may therefore also be employed in sensitive areas.
Commissioning of a machine or a plant is one of the most critical phases in the life cycle of a plant – and it is therefore of utmost importance that the employees have immediate access to all information on site. The SIMATIC WinCC Sm@rtClient app allows you to use your smartphone or tablet as a mobile SIMATIC HMI system – providing a view of all visualization data and granting you complete freedom-of-movement around the plant. This presents you with an ideal overview of the process at all times: both on site and on your mobile device. Moreover, the option of assisting employees on site during service, even when you are away on business, will ensure a more efficient rectification of faults so that the plant can be up and running again much more quickly.
Wind parks, pumping stations, logistics centers: Plants in many industries cover an extensive area or are made up of distributed, autonomous systems. Simple, safe and efficient monitoring and even control of these plants is now made possible with our SIMATIC WinCC OA UI app – without the need for expensive and complex networks. This app simply connects you with your local WinCC system via a secure connection, allowing you an immediate view of the plant to ensure that everything is working correctly. This will save you time and provide you with an oversight of your processes at all times – ensuring safe, reliable production.
How much does it cost you to produce a specific product? Not least when asking yourself this question, it should be considered that energy consumption during production can be analyzed with transparency and coordinated based on the respective consumers. With the SIMATIC Energy Manager app, you can now record meter data while on the move and transfer it to the SIMATIC Energy Manager Basic/PRO. This newly acquired transparency allows you to ensure efficient energy consumption for your production at all times from anywhere – thus saving you money, but also contributing significantly toward a sustainable production.
