Acquisition of data: For Every Machine and Model Year

Capture Machine Status Manufacturer-Independently and Identify Downtime Causes Instantly

Whether modern high-performance equipment or proven legacy machinery: The EMC Machine Data Acquisition (MDA) base module captures the status of your entire machinery park automatically, in real time, and independently of machine manufacturers. Beyond standard runtimes, MES Software EMC seamlessly records error messages, maintenance statuses, and operator interventions. If an interruption occurs, your employees log the reason for the stoppage directly at the terminal with just a single click.

Whether cycle time losses on linked lines in wire processing or unplanned stops on older presses and bending machines in metal forming: EMC digitalizes your existing machinery without costly equipment replacement, establishing a reliable data foundation to systematically reduce downtime.

Acquire data from the machines – from the control system or from the sensor

EMC Machine Data Acquisition of the MES Software EMC reliably acquires data from machines of different manufacturers, years of construction and machine control systems, no matter how old or intelligent your machines are.

Data acquisition via OPC/UA

In newer machines, data is collected via the Industry 4.0 interface OPC/UA. It enables a seamless flow of information between devices from different manufacturers.

Acquisition of data via LAN adapter

With PLC controllers or LAN adapters, machines can be networked quickly and easily without an Ethernet CP and without changing the hardware and software configuration.

Acquisition of data via IoT modules

In older machines, acquisition is performed by easily configurable IoT gateways via 24V signals (stroke, clock, faults) directly from the control cabinet or from a sensor.

EMC Machine Data Acquisition:
The alpha and omega for perfect data quality

Acquire machine data

Machine data are the number of parts, machine conditions, reasons for malfunctions, performance and process data such as temperatures, pressures or energy consumption.

The Machine Data Acquisition of the MES Software EMC records the produced numbers of pieces and quantities automatically and in real time. This replaces time-consuming, inaccurate and error-prone manual data entry. The machine data is visualized directly at the machine via an MES terminal.

Connectivity solution

The acquisition of data for older machines is done via 24V signals. For this purpose, IoT gateways are used as hardware for the acquisition. For newer machines, Machine Data Acquisition is done via the Industry 4.0 interface OPC/UA.

In addition, data from the peripherals, such as tool monitoring, reels or test equipment, is also recorded in EMC Machine Data Acquisition.

Seamless integration into your IT network

The devices are simply integrated into their network, via cable or WLAN, without additional IT infrastructure. This saves time and costs and enables efficient acquisition of data.

The captured data from the machines is compatible with the existing ERP system and directly networked. The reliable networking and provision of data from machines with connection to ERP and network architecture thus enables a continuous improvement process and a reliable, always up-to-date overview of all machine statuses, reasons for downtime and key figures such as OEE.
