The flexible front-mounting concept allows customized HMI solutions based on the field-proven SIMATIC components. A project using the flexible front-mounting concept is the obvious choice especially for the following customer requirements:
- Customized integration of operator elements and display systems
- High integration density of SIMATIC products
- Demand for customized design and layout
- Demand for optimal integration into plants and machinery
- Compact design as stand-alone product in enclosure
- Compact design as built-in unit at the machine level
- Use of field-proven components and thus also optimized time-to-market
These requirements can be implemented for the customer by means of a flexible front-mounting concept.
The general conditions for a project using the flexible front-mounting concept are:
- Minimum unit quantity 100 p.a.
- Project agreement
- With unit quantity start-up forecasting and annual unit quantities for the project
- for funding development costs
- Key project dates and standard start-of-delivery dates
