Have you discovered our secret cache of SVG images?

You can use these free images in your groov mobile operator interface or in other places where SVG (scalable vector graphics) files are supported.

Bring them into your interface and make them the size you need. Because they're SVG, they automatically scale, so they look good whether they're on a monitor or a smartphone.

Seeing your key machines and sensors on your smartphone or tablet—whether they're in your facility or remotely located—could be mighty useful, you may be thinking.

If that's the case, take a look at the groov Action Plan.
