The software that runs Optimar’s automatic systems is as unique and advanced as the equipment itself. A robot, like ours in the circular center, is only as smart as the EasyTouch program controlling it and ours is very, very smart.

Similarly, Optimar’s processing line systems may be based on common-sense logic but, when they repeatedly generate significant improvements in production and profitability, it is clear that ProLine programs support intelligent, carefully coordinated, and extremely efficient processing strategies.

With this kind of in-depth power and information at the minute-by-minute operating levels, it is easy understand the magnitude and value of the information available to you when they are all connected. OptiControl NetCenter is Optimar’s unified network of the control systems for the processing lines and their primary components.

NetCenter is a web-based PMC system. This means all the information you need to monitor, manage and maximize production is available at any time from any location via any device as long as you have access to the Internet. Smartphones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) put the power of OptiControl NetCenter in the palm of your hand.

The alarm and performance data reported and retained by OptiControl NetCenter gives you a valuable tool for examining peaks and valleys in performance and taking corrective action accordingly. In other words, OptiControl NetCenter not only improves your processing overview, it helps you improve the entire production process by:

• optimizing the use of equipment 
• minimizing the use of labor 
• avoiding unnecessary stops and downtime 
• balancing the workflow 
• increasing capacities 
• anticipating maintenance needs 
• establishing a performance database

NetCenter’s connections with each ProLine and EasyTouch system are web-based. New connections, new functions, program updates and system upgrades can be made directly online.
