Production data acquisition (PDA) in SAP is a system for recording real-time data from production and the store floor, such as order, personnel, machine and process data. It makes the actual situation in the production area transparent and provides a reliable database for controlling, monitoring and optimizing production processes.
Modern PDA solutions record a lot of data automatically, for example via machine connections, but manual feedback from employees via terminals, PCs or mobile devices is also possible. If production data acquisition is to be a success, the user interface must be adaptable to the specific situation and intuitive to use.
As part of top MES the PDA is integrated into SAP ERP or SAP S/4HANA without an interface and the recorded data is posted directly online in SAP in any granularity. This makes it immediately available for evaluations, key figure calculations and analyses – for example to determine key performance indicators such as Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE). Production data acquisition (PDA) in SAP thus forms a central basis for transparent, data-based decisions in production.

Production data acquisition is a system for digitally recording production and operating data directly in the production environment. It provides real-time information about orders, machines, personnel and processes and creates transparency about the current production status.
Typical PDA data includes order and processing times, machine running times and downtimes, quantities produced, faults, material consumption and personnel-related feedback.
A PDA ensures greater transparency in production, improves planning and control quality, reduces manual effort and errors and forms the basis for continuous process and efficiency improvements.
