ACC App User Management

Manage users yourself

The new ACC App User Management It is already in use by initial customers. It enables customers with ACC Smartphone Channel, the users of ACC App to manage independently – without going through ACC support and without manually maintaining Excel lists.

Users can be created, edited, or deleted via a modern user interface. At the same time, it's always clear which users are licensed and how many licenses are still available. This simplifies daily administration and ensures that changes can be implemented more quickly. The next step will be the nationwide rollout to all customers with the ACC smartphone channel.

ACC Basics Webinar

Professional alerting explained in a nutshell

For a compact introduction and for refreshing your knowledge

In SCADA, automation and infrastructure environments, messages, alarms and faults must be reliably recorded and quickly forwarded to the right people – depending on responsibility, availability and communication channel.

This includes, among other things, how the ACC can be integrated into existing PLC, SCADA or IT environments and how structured alerting is supported in different areas of application – for example in manufacturing, energy supply, food and pharmaceutical industries, IT or building management.
