Software for Machine Data Collection
MESQ-it is intelligently connected to your production environment. Whether you operate state-of-the-art automated manufacturing systems or older equipment without control systems, the machine data collection software reliably captures, processes and consolidates your machine data. This systematic approach uncovers improvement opportunities and enhances your production performance.
The software for machine data collection (MDC) is an integral part of MESQ-it, which encompasses a range of functional areas.

Efficient Machine Data Collection – Key Features at a Glance
Machine Connectivity
MESQ-it integrates seamlessly into your production environment and communicates directly with your machines and equipment. Connectivity between MES and machines is established through:
- Integration via WEB I/O modules
- Direct communication with machine and system controls (PLC)
- Data exchange using manufacturer-specific communication protocols
For data transmission, MESQ-it relies on established communication standards such as OPC DA and OPC UA.
Already working with machines that don't use standard protocols? Or older equipment that's difficult or costly to connect? Using standardized components, we integrate a wide variety of machines and systems, regardless of manufacturer or production year. No matter what your individual production environment looks like – we have the right solution.
Machine Data Collection
MESQ-it captures, prepares and consolidates all machine data, delivering a real-time process visualization with zero delay. This includes:
- Order and machine statuses
- Quantity reporting (yield quantity, scrap quantity)
- Downtime and disruptions
- Causes of downtime and disruptions
- Logged working times by time account (e.g., peak use time, downtime)
- Cycle times, including comparisons to target values
Preprocessing and Consolidation
MESQ-it's Machine Process Controller (MPC) ensures maximum flexibility in machine data collection. Whether it's linked quantity calculations, dimension conversions, or selective data capture – the MPC allows you to easily adjust data acquisition rules yourself, without any intervention in the machine control system.
MESQ-it receives all machine data and automatically converts it according to your specifications. This intelligent machine data collection forms the foundation for transparent production monitoring and reliable performance analyses.
Want to gain a general overview of machine data collection and understand why automated data acquisition is so critical for modern production? We've put together the key information you need about Machine Data Collection (MDC).
