Access from - the address for remote access. You can use this address for “Remote sync” function or to connect to the remote PC through your browser (for PCs within the same network). |
Example of usage
Typical scenario where we can use most of these features is if we want 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 applications.
We use the “Kiosk mode” to show Pekat always in fullscreen, and with the “Operator View Only” option we don’t allow any other operations within the project than showing Operator View. We can also set a password that is required when trying to access the project manager through the button in project, so that unauthorized personnel cannot manipulate with projects etc. Setting “Run on PC startup” can be used to always start Pekat when turning on the PC at the start of the day.
“Remote sync” can be used for downloading projects from some powerful PC that is used for training to less powerful PC / embedded device on the production line which only uses the trained model to evaluate if products are good/bad.
