Benefits of our PDC System
Planning and costing are two essential processes for businesses aiming for economic efficiency. An essential component of manufacturing data resources is machine data, such as utilization and downtime, complemented by actual order datalike inventory levels, processing times, scrap and yield rates.
However, many companies still rely on paper-based methods for capturing, consolidating, and analyzing this information, consuming valuable time and straining resources. With our solution for plant data collection, you can access real-time status data from production digitally.
Valuable Additional Features of Our PDC System:
How Our Digital Plant Data Collection System Works
Your workers record current data on industrial PCs or mobile devices, with information instantly logged in the ERP database. The screens are configured to fit your specific business processes, ensuring the PDC system is intuitive to use for your employees. Starting a new operation automatically ends the previous one and logs it in the system. Closely timed operations or multi-machine handling are easily managed in the PDC software. Special functions allow employees to combine multiple entries into a single step.
Directly Capture Inventory Movements
The fastest way to capture inventory movement data is to use a scanner or PDA. Depending on the product and process organization, options include entering the material requisition, part number, or barcode reporting number. All necessary information is easily accessible to your inventory staff on their device display.
