The world of industrial automation is changing. Web technologies are revolutionizing how machines are controlled, monitored, and integrated into business processes.
In a landscape increasingly oriented towards Industry 4.0 – and moving toward Industry 5.0 – supervision is no longer just a control system, but becomes a digital hub: flexible, scalable, and secure.
What is a Web Supervisor?
It is a responsive system, accessible from any device, designed to be user-friendly and highly customizable. The Web Supervisor completely replaces the old locally installed SCADA systems, offering a single platform that integrates operations, diagnostics, user interface, and multimedia content.
It is the brain of the line: a central PC, separate from the machines, that controls the entire system. And today, it can be developed with web technologies, transforming into a constellation of web-based software that adapts to any plant configuration.
Tangible benefits: why it’s a forerunner
1. Full accessibility:
• Viewable from smartphone, tablet, or PC: the system is fully responsive.
• The operational part is no longer tied to a physical push-button panel but lives in the software.
