XML Based Movicon SCADA Package Adopted By Kosme for Its New Wrapping Machine
Kosme is very well known in the packaging machine manufacturer industry as one of the best suppliers. This manufacturer was on the lookout for a latest SCADA/HMI standard platform for the visualization and control platform for its latest Flypack shrink wrapping machine. After an extensive research and endless trials, the pioneer manufacturer decided on using the XML based Movicon SCDA package that was designed by Products4Automation, a UK based company. This is the not the first time a manufacturing company is opting for a visualization and control platform. This is a good topic for discussion in your XML training classes, especially to understand the capabilities of XML as a programming language.
State of the Art Packaging Machine
Kosme has come up with a state of the art Flypack packaging machine that not only uses innovative techniques but also pumps out finished products faster than any other machine that is available in today’s market. To support that, they wanted the best software that is available in the market. When Kosme officials looked at SCADA software of Movicon, they noticed that it was one of those applications that completely used all the emerging technologies such as SOAP, .NET, SQL, COM, SVG Graphics and Web Services. Also, this package was based completely on XML standards, a feature that has not been attempted before by any other company.
Attractive and Efficient User Interface with Improved Graphics Options
When Kosme investigated Movicon offerings, the company promised them that they would provide a platform that is not only super-efficient but also offers graphical options that increased the usability. This made the machines very intuitive in their operation and also offered a functionality that was rich and feature filled. This goes to show that there is a lot of potential in XML that is not yet harnessed and we must try to look at unique ways in which we can use this very powerful programming language.
