The ProSeS BDE system captures operating and machine data in production, mainly for plastics and metal processing companies. It is built from modules: DNC management for exchanging setting data between machines and the system, a hall mirror that shows the whole production in real time, PC and group terminals for production feedback, evaluations of operating data, maintenance, an electronic information system that sends current data by SMS, e-mail or voicemail, process data management and graphical fine planning. A web dashboard shows key figures such as OEE.
The system comes from ProSeS BDE GmbH in Pforzheim, Germany, which also sells the QUIPSY quality-assurance software; no owner is named on its site. The vendor's pages do not state whether the system is installed on your own servers or hosted, or where data is stored, so ask about deployment and data location. As a German supplier it falls under German and EU law.
