Central Acquisition and Administration of Production Data
iScan PDM - Production Data Management
Central system for the Acquisition and Administration of Production Data
iScan PDM – Production Data Management – is a central system applied for the acquisition and management of production data with barcode scanners. iScan is easy to handle and provides high transparency, batch traceability and a direct ERP connection.
iScan PDM manages production data starting with goods and material employed and ending with filling and packaging of the final product. Consumptions, deficient products and further production-relevant data are systematically recorded and documented - thus providing a high level of transparency concerning production processes and an assignment of consumptions to the related orders.
iScan PDM provides a direct connection to a higher-level ERP system. Master data, process instructions and orders are imported from the ERP system and, changes such as consumptions and rejects are reported to the higher-level system in real time. The direct assignment of consumptions and rejects to the related process orders facilitates the systematic analysis and optimization of production processes and a reduction of error sources.
