5.2. VPI platform for factory planning
The VPI platform is fully accessible via a provided web
interface. It gives access to different analysis methods and
visualizations. In the following, the exemplified analysis of
module parameter dependencies is presented. After having
finished the integration process, the user can directly access
the integrated data and evaluate it. For the evaluation,
different views, currently the module viewer and the
parameter analysis, are provided. The module viewer (see Fig.
5) provides a simple data visualization of the integrated and
derived data. On the left side, the different available modules
are shown, whereas on the right side, the input and the output
parameters (parameters) of the selected module as well as the
relations between these parameters (matrix) are displayed.
