About the necessity of ADC/MDC as a resource for more economical operations

Even today in many areas of mass production there can be found so called "hand recorders" for the capture of production figures. The problems here also lie in the "hand". Due to the fact that the data has to be written down by personal and passed on to other employees, who then carry out analyses of the figures. There will be mistakes and in the worst cases manipulation of the figures. It is not uncommon that such errors go unnoticed for a very long time. This leads to falsified evaluations which in turn lead to the clouding of judgment of the actual production effectiveness or operational economy. These types of error or manipulation can be eradicated through an IT based system of data capture. In the early days of IT based data capture, operation of the terminals was not particularly easy. Data was automatically captured; however the employee had to book stoppages and pauses manually. Today these things have to a large degree, been further developed and with new hardware, automated. The operation of ADC/MDC systems has become simpler and can be passed on to employees in a very few steps.

The evaluation of production data was in the past a very time consuming affair, that had to be carried out by many employees. The evaluations could not take place at the same time as the production and so the production manager could only look at weekly results. Only with delay was it possible for a production manger to respond to problem zones. Due to the further development of data capture it is now possible to react to weak spots or difficulties and eliminate them immediately. The analyses for each department (works / production manager, production planning / control, preparatory work / technical, sales or the general management) are carried out simultaneously to production and deliver the desired results.

The BDE ENGINEERING systems were especially conceived with the production industry in mind. Worldwide operating companies (from medium to large size) use the systems from BDE ENGINEERING and attain formidable results. Right now in the highly competitive markets of premium and branded products, the introduction of machine data capture can improve greatly the capacity utilisation, achieving therefore a higher efficiency which in turn brings about a better position in the competitive environment. The expenses for a machine hour are improved due to an optimal output quantity.
