SPD 2.0 – Operational Data Collection
The Operational Data Collection (SPD) application supports operational production management by providing traffic data collection to individual workplaces. The system is used for mass acquisition of operational data from SPD terminals without direct access to the SAP system.
The modular structure allows data collection for PP, PS, or PM modules, and this structure can be extended by other activities. The terminals communicate online with the SAP system via a server gateway, and all checks take place on the SAP side.
The terminal allows the operation of all functionalities via a barcode scanner, and the application is optimised for the use of touch monitors. In case of unavailability, the SAP system can work in offline mode with additional automatic data transfer to SAP. The terminal application allows you to obtain simple reports on the received feedback from SAP. In addition to customisation transactions, the SAP SPD add-on also contains several overview tools.
