WD-Z2/PRO represents an innovative system, capable of transforming a simple light signalling tower into a low-cost source of useful data for managing machine and plant efficiency.

AirGriDaCo v.2.3 is the software that Automa has prepared to support the distribution, exclusively in Italy, of WD-PRO products by PATLITE (www.patlite.it). See promo video WD Series.

AirGriDaCo is a Windows desktop application, it is easy to install and very easy to configure. It allows you to give a name to each tower and each light, to make self-explanatory the history of events. The product is available with Server License and Viewer License for distributed information panels. For more information about AirGriDaCo, you can download the product: AUTOMA_Brochure e PATLITE_Brochure.

The AirGriDaCo software, developed by Automa, is a package that offers some basic features:

The light towers are widely used in production departments: they perform an essential function of light and sound signalling to the operators of machines and lines.
With WD-Z2 and WD-PRO the same signals can be collected in order to concentrate them on monitors to help the same operators and to create useful histories for efficiency and time and cost analysis. Such data are often only available in much more expensive systems.
