Flexible Data Entry, Built for the Plant Floor

Custom Control Builder

Rich UI Elements: Ditch the standard text boxes. Build forms using touch-friendly sliders, toggle switches, push buttons, dropdown lists, and numeric inputs.
Auto-Grouping: Intelligently group related input fields together to keep complex forms organized and easy to read.
Custom Styling: Fully tailor the colors, fonts, and layout of your form to match your corporate dashboard standards.

Safety & Validation

Strict Input Validation: Prevent operator typos. Define minimum and maximum limits to block users from entering out-of-bounds data or unsafe setpoints.
