Utilise the full scope of Big-LinX

Utilise the diverse functions of Big-LinX, such as defining all access to your machines and systems for different users such as service technicians and customers. Display machines in groups and set up different organisations - with granular structure mapping.

Monitor your assets.

Keep an eye on your machines at all times, with condition monitoring. Retrieve all of the available assests on your HMI, and monitor every step of the process. Monitor the machines and define alarms and responsible employees for certain events.* The data that is read out can also be prepared for other purposes such as displaying in Big-LinX.

* The responsible employees are notified if an event occurs. Specific employees can only be defined to a limited extent on third party devices.
