HYDRA Machine Data
Collection
. . . to make certain that you get
quick and reliable information on
the status of your machines!

HYDRA Machine Data Collection
Efficient Utilization of Machines
Manual Data Collection
Machines can be used much more efficiently than you may
consider possible – provided that you know the reasons for downtimes
and malfunctions. There is a tool that records machine data
with minimal effort and evaluates it based on your requirements :
it is the Machine Data Collection module (MDE) of the Manufacturing
Execution System (MES) HYDRA. This system provides
you with all the necessary information about your machines –
which is the first step to considerably increase capacity utilization
rates and the availability of your machines and equipment.
The figures
show how much
potential is still
available :
The average
machine utilization
amounts to
less than 60%.
Un planned
downtime
accounts for 10 to 15% of the waste potential.
HYDRA-MDE is a tool used by many production companies
that records machine data with minimal effort and evaluates it
according to your individual rules.
Operators and setters
can post machine
statuses and equipment
statuses either
manually or by using
appropriate terminals:
• Setup, startup,
production
• Organizational downtimes (no material available, tool
missing, waiting for maintenance)
• Technical malfunctions (defective tools, electrical or
mechanical malfunctions)
Automatic Collection of Machine Data
HYDRA-MDE provides a variety of technical possibilities to connect
machines to the system. Quantities, running meters or disturbance
signals may be recorded directly by using digital inputs
and by connecting sensors to the machines. As an alternative,
HYDRA-MDE uses data interfaces to communicate with machine
and system controls. Consequently, the data saved in SPC are
uploaded automatically, e.g., quantities, statuses and malfunction
times. HYDRA supports common logs and communication
technologies, such as OPC, XML, Euromap and Profibus.
Machine Monitoring
Using HYDRA-MDE you can monitor your machines in real
time – consequently, you can immediately respond to problems.
Examples:
• Overviews on the current machine status
• Graphic machinery displaying the statuses of all machines of
a plant or factory
Create and Manage Master Data
You can define what data are collected by which machines and
in what form and how results are calculated and presented :
• Create and manage machine master data
• Configure shift plans and factory calendars
• Define machine statuses and resource performance accounts
• Specify the rules for data collection and posting
• Fix maintenance intervals for plant maintenance
The configurable “graphic machinery” shows the current status
of machines and equipment.

• Determination of cycle times and stroke
numbers
• An online maintenance calendar with
traffic light function (RAG status) supports
your maintenance activities
• Monitoring of machines with the
browser-based machine monitor via
Internet or smart phones
• Escalation management: signaling of
malfunctions by SMS or e-mail to the
appropriate recipient
Data Evaluation
Machine data evaluation reveals problems in production and
determines key figures for controlling or maintenance. Examples:
• Evaluation of downtime and disturbance classes in tables
• Downtime development, utilization recorder, machine time
profiles
• Reports about
production lines
including interlinked
machines, aggregates
and handling
devices
• Calculate capacity
utilization rates
according to individual rules
• Graphic presentation of the machine’s cycle and stroke
performance
• Performance reports relating to quantities and time
• Key figure monitor including calculations on Overall
Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Total Productivity Indicator
(TPI) and many other key performance indicators
• Long-term archives for machines, machine groups or cost centers
Using the configurable MDE functions, users can view the data
they require for monitoring machines.
Special HYDRA-MDE reports show which malfunctions occurred
at the machines, providing details about frequency and times.
Key performance indicators are calculated at the push of a
button based on general or company-specific specifications.
Machine statuses are recorded to the minute to identify the
problems.

HYDRA and MPDV
Perfect Integration with HYDRA
HYDRA is an extensive and modern Manufacturing Execution
System (MES) with a broad range of functions. Consequently,
HYDRA provides a 360 degree view on all data of the sectors
production, HR and quality. This transparency is more important
than ever to provide production companies with all the pieces
of information required to make decisions on short notice.
The Machine Data Collection module is also based on an
integrated database, just as is the case for all the other HYDRA
modules. Consequently, HYDRA allows for a smooth presentation
of coherent processes, taking all resources into account.
This is a benefit that can be proven using many examples:
• Parallel presentation of downtimes in combination with
orders, operations, tools, batches and production batches
• Integration of MDE data in the determination of premium pay
or incentive wages for machine operators and setters
• Considerably improved options for production control
and detailed planning of orders based on real machine
availabilities
• Automatic calculation and presentation of inspection intervals
for quality control based on the quantities and net run times
determined from HYDRA-MDE
• Specific assignment of maintenance staff by automatically
generated and updated maintenance calendars
