Data acquisition boards, known as DAQ (Data Acquisition), are fundamental devices in test and measurement automation. They allow the conversion of physical signals – such as temperature, pressure, current, voltage, or vibration – into digital data that can be processed, analyzed, and stored by software. These boards are widely used
📈 The Production Rate represents the speed at which products are manufactured on a line, cell, or workstation. Generally expressed in units per hour, per shift, or per day, it is one of the most important key performance indicators (KPI) for manufacturing management. What gets measured, gets improved. The production
Industrial dashboards are visual control panels that display key performance indicators (KPIs), alerts, production data, and real-time testing. They are essential for quick decision-making, traceability, and process optimization in modern, connected, and intelligent production environments. Dashboards transform raw data into intelligent decisions — in real-time. 🧩 Why use dashboards in
Andon is a visual and audible signaling system used on production lines to indicate the operational status of a cell, machine, or process. It is an essential part of the Lean Manufacturing philosophy, promoting operational transparency, immediate problem resolution, and standardization of failure response. Andon transforms invisible problems into visible
SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) is an industrial supervision system that allows monitoring, controlling, and recording physical or logical processes in real-time. It connects sensors, actuators, PLCs, controllers, and databases in a graphical operation interface, usually centralized. SCADA is the bridge between the shop floor and corporate systems, offering
The MES (Manufacturing Execution System) is a real-time production control and management system responsible for connecting the shop floor with planning (ERP), quality, and engineering systems. It allows monitoring, tracking, documenting, and optimizing production execution, ensuring full visibility of what is happening on the line. Function of MES in the
