8. Other Available System Modules
PROGREX WEB Client (PWC)
PROGREX Log storage (PLS)
The PROGREX Web is a WEB service to provide read only device independent access to the PROGREX Press Control System’s live process and collected data.
The service module works as a web server and the clients can connect with their own web browsers for displaying web based documents. The web server runs on the plant PROGREX server. The server can be accessed only from the business LAN. Remote access will be possible using VPN connection.
PC, Mobil Device, etc. (iOS, Windows, Linux, Android)
Visualize the existing logs and the alloys in the log storage at the press
Input the log data using barcode reader at the loading table
Track the logs trough the furnace.
Record the real alloy and cast ID for the extruded billets.

9. PROGREX Benefits Higher productivity
Consistent production (less dependent of differences in staff experience)
Scrap reduction
Better quality (homogenous mechanical properties)
Less work for operators
Objective & complete process data (basis for planning, recipe, and troubleshooting)
