B-DAQ (bee' dak) has been developed with the same structure, database and reports as it's big brother P-DAQ. Having the same back-end ensures that all of your systems can be managed cohesively.

B-DAQ was developed to interface to perfect binding equipment and bindery stitchers.

B-DAQ collects information with as little user input as possible, which frees the operator up to concentrate on their primary job, producing quality work for your business.

B-DAQ consists of four primary modules, (click the links to the left for more information about each module) all operating together to provide the highest level of real-time data possible without compromising the fail-safe requirements of the system. Using our unique Bi-directional Data Synchronization Technology (BDST), the local and remote databases are continuously synchronized.

B-DAQ monitors gross and net books, estimated time remaining, machine performance, pallet production data and much more all at the touch of a screen.

B-DAQ can communicate with your current systems to facilitate the exchange of vital information throughout your business.

B-DAQ can reduce the time spent in reporting labor and pallet information to other systems. A complete set of reports give users the information they need for trouble-shooting problems and analyzing productivity and performance.

B-DAQ allows plant managers, scheduling personnel, and customer service representatives to monitor the current status of jobs from anywhere on the network with up to the minute data fed directly from the bindery.

B-DAQ collects and reports on data that print management has been asking for, but was previously too costly and time-consuming to acquire.

KEY BENEFITS:

The Bindery Module collects real-time data from each machine. The machine is linked to the B-DAQ computer via the Bindery Interface Module (BIM). The operator records labor and down-time reason codes.

The main window for B-DAQ is extremely user friendly, simplified for its intended use on less complex machinery. The operator interface is divided into three sections.

The left section contains information pertaining to the job/version running, the overall job and current version status with associated run time and spoilage statistics. The statistics are continually updated while the machine is running. The current and next shift operators are also defined.

The center section contains real-time machine status information and buttons to control the various functions of the system.

The right section contains a series of buttons defining the various operation codes that pertain to the machine and the current status of the job.

The Scheduling Module is used to define or view the requirements of scheduled jobs prior to going to the bindery.

Entering jobs here and not at the machine, simplifies the flow of work to the bindery, and allows operators to focus on the operation of the machine. At the machine, jobs are selected simply with a touch of a screen.

The flexibility of the system enables jobs to be loaded from in-house scheduling systems.

Once loaded, jobs can be easily moved from machine to machine and can easily be re-ordered when priorities change.

Using the Status Summary screen, the status of all of your machines may be viewed simultaneously. This allows you to view the status of the entire bindery at a glance.
