Efficient shop floor data collection (BDE) for your production

With ENKO PDA you capture production data right where it is created. Times, quantities and scrap are reported back in a structured way during the running production process, creating transparency for production staff and production managers alike.

Production details can be viewed at any time. Start and stop messages map production times precisely, while produced quantities and scrap quantities — including their causes — are documented immediately. All relevant shop floor data is therefore available in full and fully traceable.

Production staff can be managed centrally and, if required, assigned to specific operations. That keeps those in charge on top of everything.

Optionally, ENKO PDA supports automatic consumption posting for components. This reduces manual entries and simplifies reporting directly from the production process.
