Production data collection provides transparency:

In order to improve manufacturing productivity, it is critical to accurately assess the actual production status.

“The production database is a mirror of the production itself.”

Do you know:

… the OEE of your machines?
… the current status of your work
    orders ?
… the actual work order times?
… the personnel costs per order?

Automatic data collection provides the highest level of data accuracy and, thus, most accurate performance indicators.

“Performance indicators without connection to the machine are worthless.”(G. Albers, Manager, Stamping Plant at Daimler)
