Digital management of dry cleaning machines is becoming increasingly important for professional laundries and industrial facilities. Intuitive control systems and the ability to access machine functions remotely help make work organization and production management more flexible, in line with Industry 4.0 requirements.

The Firbimatic Touch Screen system integrates remote connectivity directly, without requiring the additional I-Connect interface, thanks to the Ethernet port on the control board. This solution brings machine management functions and remote connectivity together in a single control system.

Firbimatic Touch Screen: Machine Management and Remote Connectivity

The Touch Screen system has been developed to make interaction with Firbimatic dry cleaning machines simpler and more immediate.

Through the control panel, operators can interact with washing programs in both manual and automatic modes and manage the settings available on the machine. The Touch Screen controller can be used across the entire range of machines currently in production, including the Firbimatic Energy Saving range, where it allows operators to manage energy-saving programs, including spray/nebulization cycles and traditional cycles with a full solvent bath and filtration.

By integrating remote connectivity directly into the Touch Screen system, Firbimatic provides an additional way to access the machine, without the need for a separate interface device.

Local management through the control panel and remote connectivity are therefore combined within a single system, designed to meet the operational needs of modern professional laundries.

Remote Access Without I-Connect: What Has Changed?

Firbimatic has long offered remote control solutions for its dry cleaning machines through I-Connect, a dedicated interface that allows users to access the machine's computer from external devices.

With I-Connect, operators can view and modify washing programs, monitor the operating status of the machine's computer, receive alarms and adjust parameters during programming.

With the Touch Screen system featuring integrated remote connectivity, the separate I-Connect interface is no longer required to establish a remote connection.

The main difference therefore lies in how connectivity is integrated: a function previously provided through a dedicated interface is now incorporated into the Touch Screen control system.

This development simplifies the machine configuration in terms of the components required for remote connectivity, while maintaining a focus on ease of use and accessibility of management functions.

Furthermore, the Firbimatic Touch Screen system integrates the control of 6 level probes and the Dry Control sensor directly on the control board, without requiring additional external control units. It also provides operators with all the information necessary for the correct operation of the machine through the graphical and textual display of the various notifications and alarms that occur during the operation of the dry cleaning machine.

The Evolution of Dry Cleaning Machine Control Systems

The introduction of integrated remote connectivity is part of Firbimatic's ongoing technological development in the field of dry cleaning machines.

Alongside solutions dedicated to washing processes, distillation and the management of different solvents, the company has progressively developed digital systems to improve interaction between operators and machines.

The Touch Screen represents an important part of this evolution, providing a management interface that combines ease of use with control functionality.

The ability to access the machine remotely offers additional flexibility for businesses looking to integrate digital tools into the management of their equipment.
