Video technology can make a highly versatile contribution toward rationalization of production processes. Remote from the process, you are able to view important process sequences, evaluate the actual product state, direct the flow of goods, check areas which are difficult or even impossible to access, and much more.

The use of video technology in process automation permits, for example:

• Prevention of production faults and waste
• Optimization of energy costs for combustion processes
• Saving of personnel costs

It is extremely easy to integrate live video data from web or analog cameras into the SIMATIC PCS 7 operator system using VisorX/NG video technology products from ASE GmbH. The VisorX/NG video server is configured with ASE software. Otherwise, no additional settings are necessary.

Note:

The VisorX/NG video technology can be used together with SIMATIC PCS 7 V7.1, V8.0, V8.1 and V8.2.
