Projects Manager GUI

PEKAT VISION application is project-oriented.

You can run and work with several independent projects simultaneously.

Each project runs on its own network port and can be accessed from remote computers and managed without any restrictions.

Managing and running projects can be performed through GUI, as well as a console application.

Starter settings

To change language, run on startup, or check on your Pekat license you can open up Settings at the top right corner of the Project Manager.

Kiosk mode - Example of usage

A typical scenario to use Kiosk mode is to show information to operators on the production line through Operator View, but deny the operators access to other Pekat features or different applications.

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 automatically run Pekat after turning on the PC.

Project List Options

There are additional options available for each project. To see them, click on the three dots near any project.

It is possible to download an output log from all previous days. The current day log does not contain a date.
