A four-part view of what PSS delivers today, what is in progress, and what comes next — from remote support and analytics on PSS hardware to digital twin, predictive maintenance, and knowledge. TrueLight Machine Vision runs its lineside frontend on the same PSS base that powers the platform.
From install through optimize, digital capabilities connect every phase — for BOS-built machines and TrueLight Machine Vision systems alike. Proximity Smart Support on PSS hardware ties them together: not a point solution, but the platform you grow with.
The digital future starts with what you get today: experts on the line in minutes, and machine data turned into decisions — from BOS automation and the TrueLight vision frontend on PSS panel hardware. Everything else builds on this core.
When production stops, the people who built the machine connect in minutes — not days. Outbound-only architecture, full session visibility for operators, and a complete audit trail. This protects uptime today while building the foundation for tomorrow's platform.
Every cycle, fault, and quality signal becomes insight — OEE, availability, first-pass yield, fault forensics, and traceability. TrueLight vision measurements, reject data, and PLC tags feed the same analytics layer the digital future runs on.
PSS is more than support software. It is industrial hardware on the line — the same enclosure TrueLight Machine Vision uses for its frontend app, BOS uses for commissioning, and the platform uses for digital twin and activity replay.
Now · TrueLight Machine Vision on PSSTrueLight is part of the BOS family. Its lineside frontend runs as a webserver on the PSS PC — tracking quality of parts being measured, storing those metrics matched to part images, and keeping a searchable history with local quality metrics visible at the station. Proximity, analytics, and the digital future all build on that same PSS base.
Simulated for illustration. The TrueLight frontend runs as a local webserver on the PSS PC, so scan results, part images, and quality history stay at the station — and reach your experts through the same outbound-only link.
The primary lineside deployment on PSS today: TrueLight's web frontend on the PSS PC — tracking part quality, matching metrics to images, and surfacing local quality history from one hardened, outbound-only enclosure.
BOS engineers commission machines on the same PSS hardware TrueLight frontends run in production — consistent tooling, connectivity, and operator experience from bring-up through run.
TrueLight image processing, laser controllers, custom line tools, and other machine-critical workloads run on industrial-grade PSS hardware — recipe utilities and other bespoke web elements can be hosted on the PSS IPC alongside standard apps.
PSS hosts the digital twin environment in two ways: live sync mirrors the physical machine in real time, and activity replay reconstructs a recorded cycle from the same logic, inputs, and outputs — so you can review exactly what happened later.
While the line runs, PLC and sensor tags stream into PSS and the replica mirrors position, state, and quality in real time.
After a cycle completes, the twin re-runs the archived I/O so engineers can review exactly what happened.
The next evolution: predict issues before they stop the line, prescribe the right action, and put machine knowledge where your team can find it instantly.
In progress · Predictive maintenanceWait for failure, trigger alarm, and diagnose remotely. PSS resolves events from BOS lines and TrueLight vision stations — fault-to-PLC-step forensics with full lineside visibility.
NowAnalyze micro-cycle trends and machine rhythm to flag component degradation 24 hours before failure occurs.
In progressBeyond prediction: recommend the exact action (e.g., "Replace Tooling Home Sensor on Station 3") so operators act with confidence.
PlannedA lineside portal on PSS for the three things operators and engineers reach for most — on BOS machines and TrueLight vision stations: manuals and instructions, an agent that talks through live data, and quality and OEE metrics from vision and PLC sources.
Operator manuals, commissioning guides, and step-by-step procedures — hosted on PSS and searchable from the line when someone needs to know how to do something on the machine.
Ask questions in plain language. The agent reads machine data — faults, trends, and history — to help establish what the biggest issues are and where to focus first.
See how quality and cycle time are going — first-pass yield, reject reasons, CT vs target, and OEE breakdown — from the same data PSS already collects on the line.
