Vor- und Nachläufe
startup and shutdown phases


Explanation:
I believe this refers to the fact that remote monitoring and control is active and useable even during plant startup and shutdown, unlike, for example, a PC remote control program that doesn't let you see or intervene during the boot phase.

Vor- und Nachläufe
preceeding and following operations


Explanation:
My guess is that "Vor- und Nachläufe" refers to the systems that operate before and after the main plant (for preparation or further processing).
