Reliable monitoring and production transparency are particularly important for an automated form production process. Results from the FormManager, FormProof, CellGuard camera and GravurCheck are collected and managed centrally in an SQL database by the StatusManager, providing it with all the information it needs on the status of the engraving process. This can be called up at any time using a web browser.

The status information includes a general overview of all products to be processed and an overview showing the status of the forms right up to the final page. There is also a machine overview with all the details of the engraver’s past and present activities. For an even more specific analysis, for example in the customer’s own database, all status information can also be transferred into other systems using web service requests.

Optimum overview

Automatic deadline monitoring is a further benefit of the StatusManager. If scheduled engraving deadlines are exceeded, warnings and then error messages are generated and sent by e-mail or text message. The fact that HELL engraving machines also report their status on an ongoing basis makes it possible to react immediately to unexpected incidents – such as a stylus breaking – with no risk to production deadlines.
