Production data acquisition with full SAP integration
In practice, the implementation of PDA solutions and the integration of physical components into existing IT infrastructures is often complex and cost-intensive. One reason for this is the lack of generic SAP interfaces, which requires additional adaptations and integrations. MembrainBDE is an innovative solution that combines the advantages of conventionally opposing approaches. Seamless integration is achieved through consistent data storage in the leading SAP system, while at the same time the award-winning solution for mobile and stationary data capture is integrated into the store floor. This enables a high-performance and stable solution at shop floor level, ensuring maximum availability even during SAP outages or maintenance windows. At the same time, the real-time availability of all relevant data in the SAP system is maintained without the need for a classic subsystem. This integration ensures optimum transparency and control throughout the entire production process.
Real-time data and flexibility
MembrainSFC BDE guarantees the real-time availability of all data, both stationary and mobile. The solution offers transparency at both machine and higher level (MES or ERP). It provides important data on quality, speed, capacity utilization and faults, enabling precise calculation of orders and constant control of time resources. The solution supports both online and offline functionality.
Simple implementation and expandability
Membrain offers a standard solution for PDA that is compatible with various backend systems (e.g. SAP/R3, Microsoft Dynamics) and machine control systems (e.g. Beckhoff, Simatic). The solution can be implemented quickly and expanded as required. Data can come from different sources and the PDA is customizable without having to make a final decision when defining the data. Thanks to open interfaces, various actions can be triggered, such as starting or stopping machines.
The data to be integrated is not defined until the PDA is implemented. When defining this operationally relevant data, no consideration needs to be given to IT restrictions, as all IT components can be integrated. This makes it easy to define the desired PDA scenario. The data can come from a wide variety of sources. The PDA system can be expanded and adapted at any time, so that a final decision never has to be made when defining the data.
It is then decided whether the data should only be made available locally or also on the server. At the same time, the data can be made visually available to the worker or simply saved as a date in the PDA so that it is available for later analysis. Thanks to the open interfaces in all directions, any actions can be triggered by the PDA. For example, a Simatic control system can trigger a booking in SAP R/3 or be used to start or stop a completely different machine.
