Thanks to the drill-down navigation, you can go from the general overview to detailed information on the individual stations or products with just a few clicks. autfactory is also aligned with the standards of ISA-95 (standard for the integration of corporate and operational management levels). Among other things, this defines the interfaces to higher-level and lower-level systems.
Your benefits:
Custom Dashboard
You can easily customize the dashboard of your autfactory to suit your needs. With the help of widgets, you can comfortably edit your personal overview page using drag & drop and display the evaluations or KPIs that are most important to you. This means that you always have an overview of the performance of your production and can quickly obtain information about the current status of each individual production line. The settings are saved per user, allowing each user to customize the interface according to their personal requirements.
Your benefits:
Digital Worker Guidance
Thanks to digital worker guidance, it is possible for you to record recurring work processes in digital form and retrieve them where they are needed.
Whether as a tool for describing setup procedures, as a rework description, or for displaying maintenance instructions. With the simply described step-by-step instructions, operators are shown the individual work steps. Only when the current step has been marked as completed, the next instruction is displayed.
Your benefits:
Alarms, Warnings, Notifications
Via the notification system, autfactory informs users about deviations from the normal state. This function helps you to make the right decisions quickly in critical situations and thus avoid production downtimes and plant shutdowns. Due to the historical recording of all alarms and messages, there is the possibility of alarm evaluation in defined time periods. This allows the causes of errors to be identified and eliminated. In addition, an automatic e-mail notification can be stored for relevant events such as fault messages.

Sequence Control
The sequencer allows you to freely configure the assembly or test sequences without any programming knowledge. The creation of variable test sequences, which are processed one after the other, ensures the control of complex process sequences. The mapping of special processes is also possible. If there is only one station or test area, you only need the sequencer for sequence control. If there are several stations or test areas, the process flow control module is also required to control the flow between the individual stations.
Your benefits:
Process Flow Control
The process flow control allows you to define processes and dependencies in lines on a type-specific basis and to pass on commands to the control. Specifically, this regulates how components are fed through the complete system. These include machining releases, selection of the next station, special processes such as calibrations, or decisions in the case of branching.
This allows you to ensure, that only components that have positively passed all inspection stations can be packed or delivered.
Your benefits:
Line Designer
The most important information at a glance. The line designer allows you to create a schematic representation of the production flow. Arrange the stations freely according to your plant layout. Even complex, interlinked plants can be easily modeled with the line designer.
Deviating cycle times or failures at the station can be detected immediately by color coding. Thus, you keep track of your complete plant status.
