Abstract: A gateway configured to control and monitor a plurality of control elements (CE is provided that comprises application programming interface (API) for communicating with applications over the internet; libraries of CE's messages; and at least one interpreter utilized for translating the messages into an API protocol and vice versa.

Abstract: A system for monitoring at least one machine, the system comprising a central monitoring server and at least one mobile monitoring station, having at least one sensor and a wireless communication unit, wherein the at least one sensor monitors the at least one machine, and wherein monitoring information from the at least one sensor is wirelessly transmitted to the central monitoring server using the wireless communication unit.

Abstract: A system for controlling cyclic production machines (CPMs) includes a control processor linked to a plurality of controllers. One or more controllers, some of which may also serve as controllers of dispensing and dosing devices feeding the CPM with materials, are coupled to a CPM. An operator interface supporting one or more user stations provides for displaying data to a user. Each controller is linked at least to a timing unit of a respective CPM. One or more sensors whose signals provide indications as to the working parameters of the CPM are further linked to a controller. Gathered signals are temporarily stored in respective controllers to be further transferred to, processed and stored in, the control processor. Working parameters are associated with characteristic profiles and/or statistics to be further stored in the control processor.
