Kiosk mode - Example of usage

A typical scenario where we can use most of these features is if we want to use Kiosk mode is to show information to operators on the production line through Operator View, but don’t want them to be able to access other things in Pekat or other deny the operators access to other Pekat features or different applications.

We use Use the Kiosk mode with Operator View Only to show Pekat always in fullscreen and do not allow any other operations within the project than displaying Operator View.

Setting Run on PC startup can be used to always start automatically run Pekat when after turning on the PC at the start of the day. .
