The Swiss company Ammann has a long history in building asphalt mixing plants. The software control systems is an important part of Ammann's mixing plants. In the last months, Ammann has been rebuilding the visualization layer of this product from scratch. The existing C++ base UI is replaced with a browser-based front end built with Angular and SVG. Rainer Stropek has been working as an external consultant in the project from the early days on. In his talk, he presents the chosen architecture and showcases how the project makes use of Angular's great SVG support. Rainer describes how WebSockets is used to connect the real-time control backend with the new Angular UI.
