Smart GUI software for Siplace placement machines features a new graphical user interface. Displays essential data about the machine's status, current jobs and their progress. If the software detects problems on the line, it converts instantly into an analysis and instruction tool. Categorizes the malfunction and indicates the exact location (machine and track). Initiates self-healing procedures or starts a video assistant to display the steps needed to fix problems. Graphics provide a troubleshooting process step by step. Line personnel reportedly can fix more than 90% of incidents without a special technician.
