BRS CSP HMI


Project Target

The main target of this project was to design and program parts of HMI (Human Machine Interface) according to the customer's order. The project included also the commissioning at ultimate customer, optimalization and additional modifications. Last but no least part was to provide the technical support by means of Service portal (remote desktop connection).

Project made for SMS Group GmbH GERMANY
