MDA App

Machine data acquisition Solutions with complete SAP Integration

Would you like to make your production processes more efficient? Optimization allows you to increase productivity and machine utilization, which has a positive effect on the operating result.

Machine data acquisition (MDA) connects production machines with information processing. All statuses, quantities and process data are automatically recorded and made available for evaluation. This data can flow directly into the machine control system and can also be used for production data acquisition.

With MembrainSFC MDE, Membrain GmbH has developed a cost-effective solution that is easy to implement. Thanks to standard components, the project costs are low and integration into other systems, such as ERP, is straightforward. Production orders can be downloaded directly and confirmations can be easily created in SAP.

 

Standard components for the MDE


Automatic data acquisition
MembrainSFC MDE supports automatic data acquisition through the interfaces to all common control systems and OPC.

Manual data acquisition
Data can also be entered manually, e.g. during set-up or start-up.

Production and process monitoring
For software-supported production and process monitoring, all relevant data is collected centrally and made available for evaluation.


Automatic warning display
If the limit values in the MDC are exceeded or not reached, a defined event is triggered, e.g. an e-mail notification or a machine stop.

Determining the reasons for machine downtime
MembrainSFC MDE makes it possible to determine the reasons for machine downtimes, which are defined in advance for each machine or machine group.

Evaluations and analyses

MembrainSFC MDE offers a wide range of evaluations and statistics that can be transmitted locally or to higher-level systems (PDC, MES, ERP). This supports controlling, maintenance and production control. Downtime analyses and process data visualizations are also possible.

The system is open and can be integrated into third-party PDC systems and the MembrainRTC product family, enabling simple communication with mobile devices and other solutions.

MembrainSFC MDE supports the determination of key figures such as OEE, GAE, TPI and MCE, which are used to evaluate and improve productivity and to continuously monitor process performance.
