BDE system

What is a BDE system?

A BDE system (Operational Data Collection System) ensures efficient and accurate recording and presentation of operational data. A BDE system should be as functional, intuitive to use, and user-friendly as possible, supporting employees in data collection. Furthermore, a BDE system should be connected to the company’s internal enterprise resource planning system (ERP system). Seamless integration enables smooth, real-time data exchange.

A BDE system offers several advantages: BDE systems enable the collection of actual data on conditions and processes within the company. Additionally, BDE systems have specific functions and features to make data collection as efficient and error-free as possible. With the help of BDE systems, companies can optimize their production planning and processes, increasing their efficiency.

Selecting an appropriate BDE system, however, requires an exact evaluation of the company’s requirements and needs.

Here are the key criteria for selecting a BDE system:

• User-friendliness: A BDE system should be easy and intuitive to use, significantly reducing onboarding time.
• Functionalities: The BDE system should include the necessary functions for operational data collection—primarily the collection of order, personnel, and machine data.
• Support: The BDE system provider should ensure reliable technical support and regular updates.
• Security: The BDE system should provide sufficient security measures to prevent unauthorized access to operational data.
• Integration: The BDE system should seamlessly integrate into the existing IT landscape and connect to the ERP system.
