GFOS PDA allows you to record all the relevant data from your manufacturing operation in an event-driven manner. This makes it possible for you to maintain an overview of the order and manufacturing data such as order-related feedbacks and runtimes at all times. Thanks to our PDA system, staying up-to-date is now a cakewalk!
The GFOS PDA system enables comprehensive online recording and management of all the relevant manufacturing data that complies with the data protection regulations; this includes automatic data transfers, as well as semi-automatic options, such as use of scanners and/or manual collection of data. Our production data acquisition (PDA) provides the option of automatic and transaction-oriented data entry processing with pre-processing and aggregation for summarization as well as parameter-driven message sequences and plausibility checks.
Data entry errors are prevented by means of plausibility checks and intuitive worker guidance, thus ensuring reliable processing of:
If required, default parameters from orders and/or any information related to workforce, material and equipment from production is also integrated into the PDA.
The data is prepared in such a way that it can be used in real time by the various departments. The integrated order management system links the recorded data in the PDA system to the order in variable aggregation levels. This thus makes it possible to switch to other data aggregations with just a touch of a button during evaluation and analysis. The display of order and item-related information on the shopfloor or directly at the workstation - including reliable calculation of remaining quantities and lead times - also ensures an up-to-date overview of the expected order completion.

User-friendly design for intuitive handling on the smartphone, tablet or industrial PC (IPC)
The PDA system makes it possible to collect all the relevant operating data centrally via an interface on mobile or stationary end devices without the need for manual transmission. Offline capability ensures seamless documentation of production processes and resource allocations.
Quantity, time and quality data is bundled into the PDA system, thus providing important insights and increasing transparency:
Especially in complex production organizations, the users benefit from the presence of or increase in transparency: thanks to its interoperability, the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) reliably ensures the supply of all data transferred from external systems. The MES thus provides central interoperability in the context of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
The use of the PDA system creates a comprehensive and valid basis for decision-making for ongoing improvement processes in manufacturing. This helps in reducing disruptions and downtimes as well as in sustainably improving recalculations and running calculations as well as order progress control in the ERP system.
Get an excellent user experience, that is a carefully crafted combination of the best practices and more than 35 years of experience. Thanks to the multilingualism of all the interfaces and operating functions, our PDA can be used from any corner of the world.
The GFOS PDA system provides users with an innovative software solution, which records all the relevant data from all production areas in real time, makes it available with transparency and makes informed decision-making possible.

Our PDA software has order and reporting systems which include optional interaction for machine connection (MDL), which can be used by single and multi-machine operators as well as from group workstations. This gives all employees the opportunity to access numerous information and feedback dialogs via the PDA terminal. This includes:
All actions related to a manufacturing order are logged in our Manufacturing Execution System, into which the PDA system is integrated: log-ins, log-outs, interruptions, quantities, reasons for rejects and rework as well as process data.
A large number of user-controlled or automated analyses in the PDA system ensure informed decisions in day-to-day manufacturing. The following evaluations are individually available:
With the help of practical widgets in the PDA feedback system, individually definable evaluations can be visualized on the shop floor terminal in the form of various diagrams or as a target/actual comparison. This means that relevant information can be made available to the operating personnel directly at the workplace without barriers.
In addition, users can independently add advanced evaluations in the MES dashboard and calculate and document a wide range of manufacturing KPIs with the help of our key figure evaluation.
