Smart Operator Interfaces
savvyPanel - Smart, touch screen operator station technology

is a unique display technology that is controlled entirely by the system drives, programmable controllers anddrive.web
devices - the display configuration does NOT reside in the display. This provides some very distinct advantages over a conventional HMI:- Mobile devices, such as iPads, can roam freely from machine to machine, process to process without needing a specific machine configuration installed.
- Complete access to the display and it’s configuration is available from anywhere on the LAN or WAN using the savvy tools even when it is a third party PC display.
- The display is completely homogeneous in the system thereby eliminating potential data structure conflicts and communications issues.
