Software for Production Data Acquisition
MESQ-it supports you with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface – right at the shop floor. You can configure individual or group terminals to fit your needs. With our production data acquisition software (PDA software), data can be reported manually, semi-automatically or fully automatically in combination with MDC, the efficient machine data collection module of MESQ-it. MESQ-it aggregates the collected data in real time and delivers transparent insights into production and order statuses through manufacturing monitoring, giving you a reliable foundation for optimizing your production processes.
The production data acquisition software (PDA) is an integral part of MESQ-it, which encompasses a range of functional areas.
Benefits of Our Production Data Acquisition Software
Fast and easy data acquisition
Efficient Production Data Acquisition – Key Features at a Glance
Production Feedback
MESQ-it is designed for intuitive operation and clear visibility, with group and machine terminals that deliver maximum support. To provide optimal orientation across the shop floor, the online hall plan is displayed at the group terminals.
Experience the innovative 3D view, a mirror image of your production environment:
Photos of your machines are arranged true to scale and layout, reflecting the actual hall layout as the background image. Machines, machine groups and entire production lines are always available at a glance, giving operators a clear, real-time overview.
Plant Data Acquisition (PDA)
Using a touchscreen, employees can easily log the start and end of tasks and orders, record downtime reasons based on a catalog, and report partial and final quantities.
Whether on individual terminals at the machine or centralized group terminals, MESQ-it gives your employees full control with:
- Color-coded status indicators for each machine
- Quantity bars displaying remaining quantities, rework and scrap
- Real-time target vs. actual comparisons
- Detailed information on preceding and succeeding work steps and the full production order
Plausibility checks immediately warn of possible errors during data entry, allowing operators to correct entries before they are submitted.
Production Cockpit
MESQ-it maps your production processes online in real time,
so you can react instantly to unplanned production events and process changes.

Production Support
MESQ-it eases the workload for your employees in dynamic production environments through:
- Order and operation documents available directly at the terminal
- Accompanying documents for direct labeling of produced goods
- Direct integration of additional hardware such as barcode and RFID scanners
When unforeseen production events occur, MESQ-it offers exceptional flexibility: Operators can add comments or make quantity corrections – even after the fact.
Production Data Acquisition Software
Production data acquisition (PDA) refers to the recording of actual data about operational states and processes within a company. PDA systems are widely used in manufacturing environments.
They collect operational data to provide real-time information for efficient production control. Production data acquisition is closely integrated with machine data collection (MDC), where machine process data and parameters are automatically recorded.
The gathered data is transferred to the manufacturing execution system (MES). By digitally processing production data, companies benefit from more efficient manufacturing – with automated data collection ensuring that machine and process control information is always immediately available.
In the era of Industry 4.0 and increasing digitalization, PDA systems are often essential for maintaining long-term competitiveness in manufacturing industries.
