Software for Machine Data Acquisition
authentig Creates Transparency in Your Production
ENGEL is also your experienced and reliable partner for Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). With the modular authentig software, you can easily network your injection molding machines. Based on machine data acquisition, you receive product and order-related results and KPIs. For example, rejects and machine downtimes can be reduced.
Advantages of a Machine Data Acquisition Software
We ensure a stable and efficient connection of the most common machine types. This is the basis for recording your production data and achieving transparency in injection molding production. Machine data acquisition software makes your key production figures available in real-time at the push of a button. In addition, optimization potentials are visible.
Customer calculations show that the purchase costs for authentig pay off in 5 to 12 months. The savings in the reduction of the set-up time and rejects are particularly significant here.
User-friendly dashboards on production monitors and on mobile devices provide your injection molding technicians with data and key figures quickly and easily. These include, for example, pieces per shift (performance level), cycle time deviations and machine availability. They form the basis for data-based decisions.
Machine data acquisition with our software lets you fully record and document process and part data to determine process capability (cmp) and machine capability (cmk). This allows you to identify negative developments, such as weight fluctuations, at an early stage, optimize processes and avoid rejects.
Centralized, digital machine data collection enables better capacity planning and increases overall machine efficiency. Lead times are minimized and your on-time delivery is increased. In addition, set-up times and therefore costs can be reduced.
With the machine data collection software, authentig, you replace your manual data acquisition with digital reports. Excel spreadsheets or handwritten records will then be a thing of the past. Paperless manufacturing becomes a reality.

FAQ
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a software solution that collects, monitors, and analyzes machine data and production processes in real time. It connects machines, production orders, and process data, thereby providing transparency across the entire manufacturing process.
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) from the machine manufacturer offers decisive advantages for plastics processing companies, as machine expertise and software development are directly connected.
ENGEL develops its MES especially for the requirements of plastics processing and injection molding machines. As a result, users benefit from a particularly deep integration between the machine, the control system, and the software.
This offers several advantages:
Direct access to machine and process data without additional interface issues
Optimized data acquisition for injection molding processes, e.g., cycle times, process parameters, and quality data
Seamless integration with machine control units such as the CC300
One contact person for machine, software, and support
Through the interaction between the machine, control unit, and software, production and machine data can not only be collected but also specifically utilized to increase production efficiency.
For plastics processing enterprises, this means: greater transparency in production, faster process optimization, and a sustainable way to increase production efficiency.
Yes. ENGEL’s authentic Manufacturing Execution System was specifically designed to be compatible with machines from various manufacturers.
The software supports various industry standards and interfaces, including, for example, EUROMAP interfaces, which are widely used in the plastics industry. This allows not only ENGEL machines but also injection molding machines from other manufacturers to be integrated into the system.
Even older plants can also be connected, for example through retrofit solutions or additional signal acquisition.
For plastics processing enterprises, this means:
Transparency across the total machine fleet
centralized analysis of all production data
better comparability between machines
A solid foundation to increase production efficiency
Step by step, this creates end-to-end data transparency throughout the entire production process, regardless of the machine manufacturer.
