Method of operating a machine system and machine system

Abstract

The invention relates to a method of operating a machine system (1) comprising a plurality of machines (2). Said machines (2) are in particular machine tool devices with numerical control, NC, or programmable logic controller, PLC, control systems and are connected to a computing system (3) of the machine system (1). The machine system (1) further comprises human-machine-interfaces (8; 9; 10; 11) to present machine (2) information and at least one operator detection unit (6; 7). Said operator detection unit (6; 7) detects a machine operator (4) being in the proximity of a machine (2) and/or walking past a machine (2) and collects operator behavior data (5). The operator detection unit (6; 7) sends the collected operator behavior data (5) to the computing system (3) which selects information to be presented to the machine operator (4) in dependence on the operator behavior data (5) and selects at least one of the human-machine-interfaces (8; 9; 10; 11) to present said information. Finally, the respective human-machine-interfaces (8; 9; 10; 11) present the selected information.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
