  • the systematic collection and documentation of all relevant information such as the components used, the execution of installation and maintenance tasks or problems that have occurred, also leads to reliable knowledge about the current system status.
  • the automated collection and assignment of this information significantly speeds up the process and relieves human installers of the documentation task.
  • the automated collection and storage of information to be documented can significantly reduce the risk of missing and/or incorrect documentation.
  • a transmission of the information can be carried out as a bidirectional information transfer between the system 2 and the components 4. This can be carried out without the individual components 4 being connected to a control system of the machine 1 (PLC 8) and/or being preconfigured for their future tasks in the machine 1.
