Kasto app gives sawing machine activity visibility

​Kasto has introduced a new application, KASTOapp, to facilitate remote visualisation of its sawing machines on a shopfloor. The app displays the operational status of all networked machines equipped with the manufacturer's proprietary SmartControl, AdvancedControl, ProControl or ExpertControl systems.

Users can see the name, machine number and type of saw at a glance. If a machine is running in automated mode, KASTOapp can also access the information stored in the program that is running. It provides users with exact information on relevant parameters such as the item, cut length, target and actual quantities, band feed rate and cutting speed. If a fault occurs, the app displays a graphic of the relevant error message, enabling users to quickly visualise the problem and react immediately to minimise downtimes.
