Abstract

A plastic-extrusion system comprises a plurality of system components including an extruder and a collection device for collecting the extruded plastic material. The plastic-extrusion system has an operator station designed for taking in and outputting data of the plastic-extrusion system. The operator station further has a mobile terminal including a screen of a graphical user interface as well as a camera. The plastic-extrusion system is associated with at least one information source, and preferably a plurality of information sources. The operator station is configured so as to provide access to the at least one information source, and preferably to the plurality of information sources.
