PDA – The Easiest Start to Paperless Production

SETAGO® production data acquisition (PDA) controls and documents the entire production process on the shop floor. It provides workers with the necessary information at every stage of production while simultaneously recording all key figures. All production data, including parts lists, construction plans, and other essential documents, is available digitally.

  • ERP Connections

  • For Industrial SMEs

  • For Manufacturing

  • Live Data in Production

  • E-Paper Material Labelling

  • Book Time and Material

The PDA supports production while also recording setup and production times, as well as material quantities. The current status of each production order is always accessible, enabling easy comparison with target times. Optionally, an e-paper label can be used for material labeling, reducing paper consumption in production.

Advantages of PDA

Here Is Why You Should Choose a Production Data Acquisition System

  • Increased Productivity : The digital provision of the correct parts list, construction plans, and instructions reduces search time and increases efficiency.

  • Reduction of Production Errors : The SETAGO® PDA provides the right information for every work step, minimizing errors and reducing costs.

  • Paperless Processes with Live Data: All production-relevant data is available digitally in real time. Workers receive all necessary information centrally through the SETAGO® PDA system.

Order Overview

All relevant information about the work orders, such as customer and article data as well as quantity and time data, are clearly displayed.

Overview for Picking

Production data acquisition (PDA) makes the parts lists available digitally, allowing a warehouse employee to pick the material and book the stock simultaneously.

The order is called up in the PDA, for example, by reading out the e-paper. The employees receive all the information required, such as drawings, to carry out their work.

Project Process

The Way of a Paperless Order with a PDA System

1

Describing The E-paper

The e-paper is described with the order data and runs with the material. It identifies the order and the goods so that it is clear which order the material belongs to. The e-paper is optional. Of course, an order paper with a parts list can still be used for identification. However, you will then not benefit from the advantages of live data, for example

2

Set up The material

The production data acquisition system provides the parts lists digitally. The warehouse employee can now use an iPad, for example, to pick the material and at the same time book the stock

3

Call Up Work Step

The order is called up in the PDA either by reading out the e-paper or via the order number. This provides the worker with all the relevant information they need, such as drawings, to carry out their work process. The data is taken directly from the ERP and is therefore always up to date

4

Book Processing Time & Material

Before starting, the worker begins time tracking. Once the work step is completed, they stop the timer and book the material used. Scrap material can also be recorded directly via the PDA

5

Next Workbench

The process is repeated at each additional workbench. The worker calls up the order in the PDA and is shown the production information required for the operation

6

Complete Order

Once all operations have been booked and the order has been produced, the order is finalised and the relevant information, such as stock levels, is made available in the ERP
