With the Schmalz ControlRoom Schmalz devices can be identified, read and parameterized. Times for the initial setup and maintenance can be shortened significantly.

In addition, the smart field devices from Schmalz collect data directly from the process. This real time data can be analyzed in the ControlRoom and can provide relevant insights in the efficiency and the availability of the system. The basic functionality includes the output of device data and error messages. Additional premium features can be added via in-app-purchases.
