EXAMPLE OF EMBODIMENT

[0031] FIG. 1 shows a schematic drawing of a production machine 100 and a mobile operating and monitoring device 200. The production machine 100 is a production machine 100 for plastics processing with a plurality of machine components 101. The production machine 100 has a control unit and a visualization unit 102. Furthermore, the HMI system comprises a mobile operating and monitoring device 200. This mobile operating and monitoring device can be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet or a mobile computer. There is a wireless connection 250 between the mobile operating and observation device 200 and the production machine 100. Via the wireless connection, data is exchanged in real time between the mobile operating and monitoring device and the control unit of the production machine 100. The mobile operating and monitoring device 200 is adapted to receive data inputs and to forward them to the control unit of the production machine 100 without delay. Furthermore, the HMI system is set up to forward actual data from the control unit of the production machine 100 to the mobile operating and monitoring device 200. One or more of the machine components 101 can generate quality information and forward it to the control unit of the production machine 100, from where it can be forwarded to the mobile operating and monitoring device 200 without delay. The mobile operating and monitoring device 200 is set up to display the quality information without delay.

[0032] At this point, it should be explicitly pointed out that features of the solutions described above or in the claims and/or figures can also be combined, if necessary, so that the features, effects and advantages explained can also be achieved or implemented, respectively, in a correspondingly cumulative manner.
