Our modules – your choice

If your production faces an unplanned stop, every minute counts to bring it back to operation. This is why Bühler automation experts are on hand. No matter the cause of the problem – electrical, mechanical, software or operation – our experts will support you with following features:

The plant control system is the heart of your production. That means it is the key to keeping the process running and having the right output. With PC Care, Bühler automation experts analyze and diagnose the system annually to achieve the best possible performance and avoid any nasty surprises. In addition to that, security experts assume that industrial production plants will be targeted by an increasing number of viruses like WannaCry or Petya. These can cause a lot of downtime and data loss. The first step to prevent a system from being affected, is having an up-to-date antivirus software. To care for your automation system, Bühler provides different system care modules:

 

  • PC Care for reporting weaknesses and recommendations about the PC or server, clean up the system, install security updates and create regular backups. 
  • Up-to-date antivirus software including installation by Bühler automation engineers.
  • Information Care with tailor-made situation analysis, report with recommendations and implementation of security features.
  • Hardware replacement  (server, data storage, etc.) if needed

A media player for your production history: Bühler Insights Replay allows you to review past production data in a comfortable, visual way.
