SETEX introduces the app SECOMmobile at ITM

SETEX Schermuly textile computer GmbH will show at ITM 2016 the new business App for mobile communication with SECOM controls, available for IOS/Apple and Android/Google tablets and smart phones.

As phones and tablet devices start actively participating as expanded computing environment, SETEX has developed the App to provide real-time machine data.

The SECOMmobile App scans and detects independently for machines with Setex control systems. The setup and access fits into the IT- security environment of the plant.

Managers can benefit from batch status information and time to batch end. Operators will make use of machine status information and time to next operator call. Service and maintenance responsibles take advantage of alarm and event notification and remote monitoring.

With the default installation, the software is enabled to connect with two machines, limited to “read only” access. Licensing at SETEX enables for further access levels.

Demonstration will be given to visitors at the SETEX booth, number 1209B in hall 12.
