One panel. Full control of your entire production.
Machines and robots are allowed to be advanced. But managing them should not have to be a discipline in its own right.
How much time do you spend each day moving between machines, searching for the right panel, or trying to understand where in the plant a fault has actually occurred?
In many production environments, the challenge is not the technology itself, but how information, control and safety are spread across different machines and interfaces. When the overall picture is missing, even simple actions become unnecessarily time-consuming.
With W-OP6, you bring the control of the entire production system together in a single operator panel. You gain overview, control and clear decision support – without having to leave your position.
See the whole plant. Act immediately
In W-OP6, the entire production line is displayed in one unified overview. Each machine and robot is clearly marked, and status is updated in real time.
Green means everything is running as it should.
Yellow indicates messages or deviations.
Red marks alarms that stop production.
You immediately see what is happening – and where.
With a simple touch of the screen, you move from the overview to a specific machine. There, you see exactly the information required for that part of the system: manual operation, counters, status and machine-specific functions. Everything is adapted to the application and the operator’s needs.
“The idea behind W-OP6 is that the operator should not have to hunt for information. Everything that affects production – status, alarms and safety – should be gathered in one place and be easy to understand at a glance,” says Jan Bergström, Design Engineer at Wemo.
Less walking. Faster response
When a fault occurs, you no longer need to walk around the plant to find the right machine or the right panel. W-OP6 not only shows that something is wrong – it also shows where the problem is located.
An open gate, an activated emergency stop or a machine stop is clearly indicated both graphically and with alarm text. Colour coding and visual indicators allow you to orient yourself quickly, even in complex installations.
All alarms are also collected on a central alarm page with history, making it easy to follow up recurring disturbances and understand what has happened previously.
The result is shorter downtime, faster troubleshooting and a calmer working environment for the operator.

Control multiple machines from one place
W-OP6 is designed for production environments where multiple machines and robots work together, even when they come from different manufacturers.
The operator panel can communicate via common fieldbuses such as Powerlink, ProfiNet and EtherNet/IP, as well as via OPC UA. This allows information from the entire plant to be gathered in one place, regardless of how production is structured.
You can start and stop machines in a controlled manner, see which programs are active and gain a clear picture of overall production performance. As standard, up to ten machines can be connected, with the option to adapt the solution if required.
Centralised and transparent safety
W-OP6 can function as a safety master, meaning that shared safety functions such as gates and light curtains are handled centrally in the system. Machine-specific safety functions are forwarded to the control system and presented together in the interface.
For you, this means:
Clear status information even during safety stops.
All safety functions gathered in one place.
Easier operation, troubleshooting and certification.
Minimal training. Maximum benefit.
The interface is designed to be intuitive and easy to use. Beyond the training required for each individual machine, only minimal additional training is needed to work with W-OP6.
Each project is also customised:
The overview reflects the actual layout of the plant.
Alarm texts and functions are adapted to the production.
Language and settings can easily be adjusted.
This makes the solution feel natural in everyday operation, regardless of how the production system is configured.
In short
W-OP6 is a flexible operator panel built from standardised functions yet adapted to your reality. For you as a user, this means that the entire production control is brought together in one place.
You gain better overview, faster response, higher operational reliability – and a production flow that simply runs more smoothly.
