 The system has several smaller components that process a lot of data and currently there is no unified graphical user interface where the overall state of the system 
 could be reviewed or where the processed data could be visualized.
 
+There are already several software packages on the market that try to solve similar problems, 
+however they aren't always able to meet the special needs that arise with such a system.

 The purpose of this thesis is to present a visualization solution that allows the users to easily review
 and manage the system. The devices maintained by the department developed system can be controlled on the interface
 and easy-to-understand diagrams are generated using statistics about their operation.
