Individualised application

Intuitive and easy user guidance is just as characteristic of this system as its possibility of multi-user operation.

Each employee can be assigned an individual scope of functions at the individual PC terminals, from reading authorisation to unrestricted process control. The user interface is distinguished by its clear and easy-to-understand displays and enables the individual process lines to be separately managed, and real-time batch and order information can be made to appear in the process display whenever required.

Complete monitoring.

Accurate process documentation ensures complete product traceability.

This makes it easy to determine even at a later date in which production lot a certain raw material batch was processed.

Process interventions as well as extraordinary events are recorded, which can immediately be responded to as required. WinCoS.r2 thus complies with all the applicable legal provisions and quality certificates.

WinCoS.r2 can easily accommodate changes. Its modular design enables new modules and add-on functions to be seamlessly integrated. This allows the system to respond flexibly to market developments.

Needless to say, data imports and exports from and to master systems (SAP, AS400, Movex, Navision, CSB, TOPAS) are easily accommodated.

Profitable throughout

In addition to its attractive price-to-performance ratio, this innovative Buhler automation solution offers other high potential savings, for instance in terms of lower energy or personnel requirements. It minimizes operating costs.

Buhler customers benefit not only when installing this automation solution. They can count on extensive after-sales support by 300 automation specialists worldwide.

These service experts ensure – either at customers’ local sites or through professional remote maintenance via the internet – smooth performance of WinCoS.r2 and thus a high level of customer satisfaction.
