The GS SmartLogic Process Control System has three versions: Basic, Advanced and Professional.
Usability
The new recipe editor provides a process diagram that shows a fast and straightforward overview of the process components. It also features extended and easy data entry to search and edit recipes.
The GS SmartLogic Professional system also allows monitoring and controlling of the process from one or several operating stations, either as a stand-alone or a client-server solution.
Uptime and Serviceability
To secure maximum uptime, the GS SmartLogic Professional has a predictive maintenance system that, based on usage, informs when service or inspection is required to minimize unplanned downtime. The system also features a network diagnostic tool so operators can find and resolve faults themselves.

The new SmartLogic control system ensures reproducible results during each production run which helps to avoid errors that would result in product loss and excess energy consumption.
