Flexible maintenance

With a view to easy maintainability, Kontron has defined spare parts kits to enable defects to be easily rectified in the field. To make maintenance even easier, the OEM also wanted to be able to save the operating data separately using an additional mass storage medium. This allows the historical operating data to be easily transferred to the new device when it is replaced.

Arriving in practice

Today, the system provides the interface between OT and IT. The Kontron HMIs document the activities that require documentation and also control processes.

The operating data is collected, processed, visualized and simultaneously made available to the higher-level company-wide control level of the ERP system on the spot when components are bolted to vehicles in the assembly cell. Several hundred units are already successfully in use around the world, and the trend is rising. ▪ ds
