info@viebrock.deDefinition of operational data acquisition
Operating data acquisition, also known as BDE, is understood to mean the collection and collection of actual data of the processes and conditions in manufacturing companies. The individual information of the work steps is documented and displayed in a system.
What types of operational data are there?
When recording the actual data, one can differentiate between organizational and technical operating data. Below we have broken down this data in more detail.
Overview of organizational operational data in companies
- Order data provide information about the production data such as times, weights and quantities.
- Personnel data include, for example, working hours and labor costs.
Overview of technical operating data in companies
- Machine data provide information about the running times of the machines, the number of pieces produced, malfunction reports, material consumption and the operating staff.
- Process data include important information on quality features, setting data and process parameters.
- Material data record the stocks, reservations and storage locations.
- Tool data , similar to the machine data, provide information about times and locations as well as defects in the tools.
Why BDE?
Use the advantages of an operational data acquisition for your company too. Especially in times of digitization and Industry 4.0, it is important to familiarize yourself with the technical possibilities and use them for the success of your own company. This is the only way to achieve sustainable growth and long-term competitiveness.
Advantages of operating data acquisition at a glance:
- Overview of the actual production status
- Increase in efficiency
- Increase customer satisfaction
- Simplification of complex processes
- Reliable data in a uniform system
Tasks of a BDE system
The tasks of a PDA system can be varied, but they always serve to prepare the organizational and technical operating data obtained for further processing in the connected system. This enables important conclusions to be drawn for the subsequent production planning and control, and the data is more uniform and transparent. Employees can also use the technology to call up current work steps at specially equipped workplaces, for example directly in the production hall, or to view construction plans and work instructions.
How does a BDE system work?
With the help of terminals, mobile devices and PCs, the data from production is collected in a BDE system. In this way, the individual information on manufacturing steps, machine and process data can be recorded and forwarded to the connected systems, where it can then be processed and evaluated. The more data is collected, the easier it is to achieve ideal machine utilization and optimal order control, which not only increases the quality of the production processes but also the satisfaction of employees and customers.
Use of operational data acquisition in production
Reliable data and mobile access
With operational data acquisition, you can document all of your production data and map the entire process transparently and paperless. As is well known, optimal planning depends on the quality of your actual data. Good operational data acquisition should therefore form the basis for efficient planning, control and monitoring of all manufacturing processes. Employees can always access all current work steps via terminals or mobile devices via BDE, call up additional information and even view work aids in the form of instructions and drawings. In this way, the working hours of the employees can be used optimally, without failures due to missing or even incorrect information.
Fault reports in real time
An important task of the BDE in production is the acquisition of machine data. Because only when optimal machine utilization is achieved can work be carried out cost-effectively. Operating times can be used to record runtimes, the number of items produced, but also material consumption and malfunction reports and call them up in real time. This constant availability of the information means that you can react flexibly and, above all, quickly to any disruptions but also work progress and your production will not come to a standstill.
Introduction of shop floor data collection
Before the introduction of operational data collection, all responsibilities, resources and the available budget should be clarified in good time. Then it is necessary to check to what extent the operational data acquisition is compatible with other programs used and which adjustments and preparations, especially in the EDV, have to be carried out. Particular attention should be paid to the usability of the programs and the training of employees.
