Instead of working in production using time-consuming loose diskettes and having to accept the risk of data losses, with COPYLOG, the user can produce a well-structured archive of all data records very easily, using a standard PC with Windows installed. SELOGICA and DIALOGICA data records can be input directly into the program using the standard floppy drive on most PCs; and HYDRONICA D and MULTRONICA data disks require only the optional COPYLOG disk station. This possibility is likely to be of particular interest to users who have a number of different types of machine and who want to convert MULTRONICA data records to DIALOGICA data records using COPYLOG. The data records produced in this way can also be processed by the SELOGICA machine control system.
 
When archiving, the program not only saves existing information about the type of material and mould used. It also automatically keeps data on the machine, control system, the date of last use or access etc. in the COPYLOG database. Furthermore, from SELOGICA 3.0 onwards, individual screen shots such as log graphics from quality monitoring can be kept in the archive as well.
 
In COPYLOG, all data records can be copied, renamed or deleted within the archive, so that new data disks – for example, organised according to article groups or machine location – can be compiled.
 
Using the machine's access to the freely-editable company data info, other information regarding the use of the program, the mould or other machine accessories can also be added. Working even with large volumes of data is made easier thanks to an up-to-date user guide with various search functions and a comprehensive online help facility covering all the different functions.
 
The benefits go beyond just program management: the secure storage of all calibration data, evidence of which is often required for certain types of certification, is also possible using COPYLOG.
