In the left part of screenshot are tables for two press machines. Each table displays actual status of press machine and pressing positions: 1x plunger, 1x ring, 11x bottoms. One press machine is empty because of job change, the second press machine is running and actual occupation is displayed: mould numbers and their actual working hours in real time. From this page we can go to form for complete press machine setting after job change, to form for removing of all tools from press at production stop (not on screenshot). The third form for single mould exchange is in right part of picture.
