Investor: ŠKODA AUTO a.s., Mladá Boleslav

Chosen solution:

This project addresses replacement of a panel at the aggregate development in the assembly facility for Octavia vehicles. The old button panel was replaced with a new QuickPanel with graphic touchscreen controls, for which a design was created based on the user’s requirements and sample. The condition was that the graphic design of the QuickPanel must correspond as much as possible to the actual position of the control elements of the line, which was made possible by the technical capabilities of QuickPanel.

The project was realised in March 2016.

Used technology:

Project documentation for electrical connection:

-          program E-Plan P8 version 2.4

Project pitfalls:
