Masa's production systems are characterized by a high degree of automation resulting with a correspondingly high operatonal efficiency. In addition to the robust design of components, a customer-oriented operating concept is a key success factor in customer utilization of the Masa system. The Masa plant control software (Masa FAST Factory Automation Service Tools) is a modular software for uniform operation and visualization of the components. The key feature is that the plant is controlled through a single software resulting in an integrated, singular data concept across the entire plant operation. The integrated operator guidance is based on well-known operating systems and is expandable to customer requirements.
