Intelligent automation for batch oriented
manufacturing techniques
proC-batch supports the complete manufacturing process,
ranging from manufacturing to central recipe and order
management up to warehouse management. An integrated
batch retrace ability enables the total control of the entire
production.

Intelligent multivendor capability in central building control system
Increased comfort, security and effi ciency for new and
existing buildings with an effective facility management.
Continuity in building communication minimizes energy
consumption, delivering highest security, fl exibility and
comfort.
Integrated production control
The Manufacturing Execution System for optimization,
simplifi cation, and standardization of production processes.
As the link between the production fl oor and the commercial
order processing of the ERP-level (e.g. SAP) proC-MES
undertakes the task of detailed planning, controlling,
and feedback of the order processing.
For a transparent and reliable production
Complex process intelligent managing with proC-vlies:
the innovative solution ranging from fi ber opening, and
composition through web formation, stabilization, fi nal
refi nement, and packaging.
Prepare for competition through modernization
In many cases machines and equipments are in good
condition but the control system components are outdated
or even worn out. An alternative solution to a new acquisition
is to modernize.
A retrofi t can provide the most modern automation technology
to ineffi cient production lines. The more economical
retrofi t increases productivity, improves quality, and reduces
down times.
