Machine Data Acquisition by Means of Software
authentig Creates Transparency in Your Production
ENGEL is also your experienced and reliable partner in the field of Manufacturing Execution System (MES). With the modular authentig software, you can easily network your injection moulding machines. Based on the machine data acquisition, you receive article- and order-related results and KPIs. For example, rejects and machine downtimes can be reduced.
Advantages of Machine Data Acquisition by Means of Software
We ensure a stable and powerful connection of the common machine types. This is the basis for recording your production data and achieving transparency in injection moulding production. With the machine data acquisition software, your key production figures are available in real time at the touch of a button. In addition, you will also be shown optimisation potential.
Customer calculations show that the acquisition costs for authentig pay for themselves in 5 to 12 months. The savings in the reduction of set-up time and scrap are particularly significant here.
User-friendly dashboards on monitors in production and on mobile devices provide your injection moulding technicians with data and key figures quickly and easily. These include, for example, pieces per shift (performance level), cycle time deviation and plant availability. They are the basis for data-based decisions.
Machine data acquisition with our software allows you to fully record and document process and part data to determine process capability (cmp) and machine capability (cmk). This enables you to identify negative developments such as weight fluctuations at an early stage, optimise processes and thus avoid scrap.
Centralised digital machine data collection, enables better capacity planning and increases overall plant effectiveness. Throughput times are minimised and your delivery reliability is increased. In addition, set-up times and thus costs can be reduced.
With the help of the machine data collection software authentig, you can replace your manual data collection with digital reports. Excel tables or handwritten records will then be a thing of the past. Paperless production becomes reality.

authentig App
The authentig app is part of ENGEL’s authentig MES and brings the most important monitoring functions straight to your smartphone. It displays all running orders with relevant details and enables early detection of deviations or disruptions. Avoid quality- and downtime-related losses and make optimal use of your production resources. Thanks to flexible filters by shop floor areas, machine groups, or orders, you keep your manufacturing in view at all times and respond faster.

FAQ
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is a software solution that records, monitors and analyses machine data and production processes in real time. It links machines, production orders and process data, thereby creating 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 for injection moulding machines. As a result, users benefit from a particularly deep integration between the machine, the control system and the software.
This brings several advantages:
Direct access to machine and process data without additional interface issues
Optimised data acquisition for injection moulding processes, e.g. cycle times, process parameters and quality data
Seamless integration with machine control units such as the CC300
One contact person for the machine, software and support
Through the interaction between machine, control unit and software, production and machine data can not only be collected, but also used specifically to increase production efficiency.
For plastics processing enterprises, this means: greater transparency in production, faster process optimisation and a sustainable way to boost production efficiency.
Yes. ENGEL’s authentig Manufacturing Execution System has been specifically designed to be employed across different machine manufacturers.
The software supports various industry standards and interfaces, including, for example, EUROMAP interfaces, which are widely used in the plastics industry. This means that not only ENGEL machines, but also injection moulding machines from other manufacturers can be integrated into the system.
Even old systems can also be connected, for example through retrofit solutions or additional signal detection.
For plastics processing enterprises, this means:
Transparency across the total machine fleet
centralised analysis of all production data
better comparability between machines
a solid basis to increase production efficiency
Step by step, this creates end-to-end data transparency across the entire production process, regardless of the machine manufacturer.
