manubes Release 1.6 – Feature Overview

The new Process Diagram Designer enables the creation of dynamic process visualizations, primarily for use in process engineering.

manubes users can combine graphical elements such as traffic lights, tanks, pumps, valves and pipes via drag-and-drop to create custom process images.

Graphical elements (symbols) can be linked to data sources, rules and animations to control their display based on live data – for example, the fill level of a tank or the status of a valve.

Individual elements can also be configured as buttons to enable control functions.

Examples:

The Process Image Designer expands the existing visualization capabilities of the manubes platform with process-oriented views and graphical control options. Users can see live data and statuses directly on the corresponding equipment elements.

Especially in complex plants, process images make it easier to navigate and allow users to monitor and control processes directly from their visual representation.

The new Data Recording view provides an overview of all connected data points and displays their current live values.

This provides quick insights into machine data and simplifies diagnostics – even without custom-built dashboards.

Users with the appropriate permissions can see all active data sources and recordings in one place and have the option to delete data points.

The new manubes AI settings section in the tenant settings allows AI models from different providers to be connected through a unified interface.

The models can then be used via the integrated AI assistant to analyze existing data, visualize it and support manubes users in their day-to-day production work.

The Page Designer now allows variables and parameters to be added to individual pages.

These provide a wide range of options for filtering and controlling how data is displayed or for passing parameters to workflow automations.

Variables are only available within a page, while parameters can also be accessed from outside the page. This allows parameters to be set specifically when opening a page, for example via a button in another manubes application.

Examples:

Push notifications can now be linked to selected target views, allowing recipients to navigate directly to the relevant location in manubes.

Adding URL parameters enables precise, context-specific navigation to prefiltered order overviews, machine dashboards or approval dialogs.

Example:

An equipment overview displays current faults with known and unknown causes. A new maintenance order can be created using a button with a popup form, automatically notifying the maintenance team via push notification. Clicking the push notification takes the recipient directly to the corresponding maintenance order in manubes.

The new Translations feature for pages and data models allows users with different language settings to use the same interfaces in their preferred language.

The Translations section in the manubes administration provides a complete overview of all text elements used on pages, organized by application. These can be translated into any language.

Translatable text can also be used within data models.

New demo tenants now include a checklist application that demonstrates how checklists can be created, managed and used in production.

With manubes, you can provide your own mobile-accessible checklists for a wide range of production tasks – from cleaning and maintenance to quality inspections and approvals.
