This paper presents case study of data acquisition in non-automated discrete production system. The issue of acquisition of data from the production system in order to support company management is essential for the integration of business and manufacturing areas of the company. Properly organized data acquisition system, consisting of hardware, software and organizational solutions, should provide access to real-time data on production tasks, flow of materials and work in progress, usage and effectiveness of workers and equipment, and the quality of production. Availability of data depends on type of production system, more precisely on the level of automation of technological processes. The Manufacturing Information Acquisition System (MIAS) methodology has been used in order to support design of the data acquisition system for the company producing large tanks, in which there is no automated equipment and most of production operations are realised manually. The algorithm of acquiring data from workers, organisational solutions and data processing in developed “Mistrz” IT system has been described, as well as problems with MIAS encountered during system operation in early stages of introduction.

Real-time information feed describing the state of production system is the key to successful management of any company, because up-to-date information is necessary basis for decision making in company operating on globalised market. Data describing the state of the production system should be collected in the manufacturing system, pre-processed, interpreted, filtered, archived and finally, either used in IT systems supporting company management (MES, ERP), or directly presented to crew and managers responsible for specific areas of interest. Possibility of data acquisition in companies strongly depends on specific of branch of industry, technological processes automation level, number of operations performed manually, type of production, etc. Acquisition of data on state of the production system should be carried-on automatically, without involvement of workers. This paper presents overall description of issues of data acquisition in company, proposed Manufacturing Information Acquisition System (MIAS) and the case study of data acquisition in company leading continuous, automated production processes Central Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Gliwice, Poland.
