When paper-based plant data collection is sufficient
Does your company have production areas without a network connection? If so, your employees can manually report times and quantities. This is accomplished using printed work slips or job tickets. These can be collected throughout the day and can be posted in the system from a central location. The disadvantage is that the data are not up-to-date and there is additional work involved in manually entering the actual times and the material that was utilized in production. Original receipts for work slips and job tickets can be scanned and archived in document management. Are you looking to advance digitization in your company and take advantage of integrated PDC?
Integrated plant data collection in ERP
With the plant data collection integrated in abas ERP, you have an easy way to control your production directly via the work list. The worker can display additional information such as drawings or work instructions and report various activities. For example, setting up machines, material withdrawals, or partial and full completion confirmations of yields, as well as scrap or rework. It is also possible to interrupt activities and report on machine downtime. This is done by either entering it into the system or scanning it. This means that capacity and material can be planned based on current data and information about the current production progress. In attendance time recording, there are basic functions such as simple clock-in and clock-out entries, which take daily and shift plans into account.
