Information such as status reports, processing times etc. can only be reliable when data from production is available rapidly, complete and deficient of errors. Errors are automatically eliminated by comprehensive plausi- bility checks. Automated Plant Data Collection is an essential requirement within today‘s fast paced manufacturing companies. Scheduling, costing, process controls and up to the minute data analysis is now considered a necessity for maximum efficiency and cost control. The correct sequence of individual order items, order status or qualification, for example, have already been verified at the point of data collection, consequently preventing any errors before they occur. This central part of the ISGUS solution is used to determine MES key figures in accordance with VDMA 66412 (German Engineering Federation). ZEUS® X PDC Information » Freely definable display of target / actual values ​as well as key figures for each order level » Display of processing-, fault-, transport- and idle times » Overview of the produced yield, scrap and rework quantity » „Drill-down“-function for flexible data analysis » Key figures according to VDMA 66412-1 » Excel export of the current key figures with just one simple click Within the PDC information screen, data and results are summarised and displayed in the target / actual-com- parison. ZEUS® X PDC offers extensive filter options and a „drill-down“-function for all PDC criteria, in order to provide the user with an explanatory result. Analysis with just one simple click. For this reason, PDC provides different focuses, evalua- ting and displaying different views, e.g. in relevance to the order, personnel, machines and cost centres. There are business indicators such as the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and the NEE (Net Equipment Effectiveness) index for production efficiency. This allows for a large number of comparisons and conclusions and is an important basis for decision-making in production control. 10
